Hello Share Pals. The Footsie is creeping awfully near its all-time high and the Santa Rally is still to come yet. So I thought it might be a jolly wheeze to mention four more shares in my current bag which I have the highest hopes for. And here they are.

Having only been “pleased to announce” it had IPO’d on AIM in June last year, today brings a “Trading Update and Temporary Suspension of Trading” announcement from tissue group Accrol (ACRL). Hmmm…

Having received a fascist lawyers letter from heavyweight lawyers Schillings myself I know that it can be quite intimidating. Mine (HERE) was on behalf of the fraudsters Quindell (QPP) and I told Schillings that I would "see you in Court bitchez." I knew Quenron would not dare go through a disclosure process. Estate Agent Chris Wood is armed with the same knowledge and has thus responded robustly to a missive on behalf of Purplebricks. I have chatted to Chris at length today and, as someone convinced, that Purplebricks is a zero I am happy to republish the missive from Schillings  and the response of Chris which adds mountains of evidence to the fact that Purplebricks is a can of worms which is spending ever greater sums trying to gag critics with fascist missives from expensive lawyers. Over to Chris:

African-focused agricultural and forestry company, Obtala (OBT) is an already successful HotStockRockets share tip – the shares up from an initial 8.25p offer price recommendation to a current 18p. However, they’ve been above 22p earlier in the year and recent newsflow sees us further confident that the fall from there an incorrect appraisal - and that 30p+ is realistic.

Well, well, what a surprise: AIM-listed Frontera Resources (FRR) has raised cash in a placing. Well OK, it is not a surprise at all. As I pointed out HERE the works programme of the company was going to cost a few quid which it simply did not have. As we shall see, the workover rig out at the Ud-2 well in Georgia has prepared the site for testing of gas bearing intervals but until last night there was no money to pay for the testing.

I must rush. The fit young mums are waiting. Ahead of that, Advanced Oncotherapy (AVO) really should comment on the weirdest rumour which I relay. Redcentric (RCN) answers one question but many remain. Then Sound Energy (SOU) hype takes the acid test of a trade sale of its Italian assets and the real value is exposed. Sound really is so much hot air. Finally a look at the CVA and rape of shareholders and creditors of Kin Group (KIN)  by broker Peterhouse and the new, crony capitalist, directors.  

Management Resource Solutions (MRS) has today been fined £125,000 (reduced to £85,000 for co-operating with the LSE) for lying to investors back in 2015. But this is a whitewash and a cover-up protecting the establishment. The LSE notes that only the FD remains from 2015 and finds he was blameless. Cock. There is no censure of the Nomad (Northland) which was reckless in its lack of due diligence. How do I know this? Because it took me 30 minutes of internet research to expose this scandal back in April 2015 HERE.

It was Tom’s idea to call me “Evil Banksta”, the “Banksta” bit is simple: I work for a global investment bank in corporate finance (which bank is irrelevant as I write here in a personal capacity). The “Evil” bit is Tom’s embellishment, you could never meet a nicer, more honest, investment banker! But this is simply background so that you know where I’m coming from when I write that Green Dragon Gas (GDG) has not a snowball's chance in hell of refinancing its maturing bonds; it is inevitably heading for default.

After the omnishables that was Theresa May’s big cough-rence speech, mumblings from the Brexit transition Queen about the need for a price cap on the easy targets of the electricity and gas utilities spanked the shares of Centrica (CNA) and Scottish & Southern (SSE), with the former falling to a 14 year share price low. Whilst the latter bores me, the former does grab my attention as the current management team does have a sensible plan involving selling us energy efficiency related technology and services to complement our core gas and electricity bills.

At 2 PM yesterday, Capita Registrars signed off on a shareholder list at that point as being those who could vote at Friday's GM called to oust fat cat bosses Professor Richard Conroy and his henchwoman Maureen Jones from Conroy Gold & Natural Resources (CGNR). Shortly before 2 PM the Professor called Capita and added 500,000 shares to the register - probably enough to swing the vote. What he has done is wholly illegitimate and must be reversed at once if Capita, Nomad Allenby and AIM Regulation give a damn about their own rules and common justice.

21st Century Technology (C21) “is pleased to announce it has been awarded an important on-vehicle safety systems engineering contract with a major UK bus fleet operator worth just over £1m”. The shares have though responded slightly lower to 2.875p…

Hello, Share Crackers. It happens nine times out of ten. A company announces much bigger profits in its half term results - and the share price crumbles. But no need for alarm, as the price usually recovers to strike north again within a few days. An enticing buying opportunity then? Which bring me to today’s tip.

We earn money if you take up a Primary Bid offer and registered with it via us. Notwithstanding that, Frontera Resources (FRR) as A grade crap so do not take up this offer. 

On Friday shareholders in Conroy Gold & Natural Resources (CGNR) will vote on whether to oust chairman Professor Richard Conroy and his sidekick Maureen Jones The dastardly duo are doing everything they can to cling on as the vote will be tight.

I’m getting terribly confused about the recent conversions by YA II PN (aka Yorkville) of Series A Preferred Convertible Shares in AIM-listed Frontera (FRR). I refer to the 2017 interims and the recent RNSs announcing the conversions.

Truly some of my fellow shareholders in Falanx (FLX) are some of the dumbest folks on earth. I refer you to yesterday's bonus bearcast which will be a theme for the next 18 months. It relates to Topps Tiles (TPT) where the bad news is largely priced in. But I think I have a £1billion stock that it could take to zero. I discuss Xtract Resources (XTR) and follow up analysis to this article on 88 Energy (88E) post a company chat.

LightwaveRF (LWRF) commences a trading update for its year ended 30th September 2017 with that “the company anticipates that revenue will have more than doubled from the prior year (2016: £1.44m). Gross margin is also expected to have materially increased (2016: 32.5%)”. However, the shares have currently responded slightly lower to 23.5p…

Having missed a target of becoming cash flow positive, though reckoning it was “pleased” with the 30th June year-end cash balance of £11.9 million, payments company Earthport (EPO) is now “pleased to announce”… the result of a placing!...

I have to say I haven’t come across AIM-listed Midatech (MTPH) until now. However, with interims results just released perhaps I could get a handle on it. The problem is that the interim report has a few gaping holes in it, all of which leaves a strong sense of unease. The unease in increased when I note that the recent bailout placing (at a whopping 31% discount) showed up Woodford Investment Management as a major holder. Oh dear, not a good start….

On the surface of it, the retailer Topps Tiles (TPT) looks cheap. Even after today's trading statement the shares, at 73p offer trade on a PE of just 10 for the year ended 30 September 2017. But do not bottom fish. Here's why.
