Amryt lead competitor to main drug flops in trials: good news for us

This is sad news for sufferers of for Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) but very good news for we shareholders in Amryt Pharma (AMYT). Overnight last Thursday, the rival, Amicus announced that its Phase 3 asset SD-101 for Epidermolysis Bullosa has failed in Phase 3. The drug failed to meet all co-primary and secondary endpoints, which could suggest that there was minimal/no biological effect.

PROX

Proxama – interims argue “exciting times ahead”. Are there?

Self-described “leading mobile location and data intelligence expert” Proxama (PROX) “is pleased to announce its half year results for the six months ended 30 June 2017 and a trading update”. The shares though remain depressed at little more than 0.03p…

Andrew Bell of Regency Mines No longer a self confessed Moron - dumps ALL UK Oil & Gas shares

On 8th September I penned a long piece explaining why the valuation of UK Oil & Gas (UKOG), then 9p, was crackers and anyone owning was a moron. My friend Andrew Bell posted a response saying that his company owned the shares, that he was not a moron and this is why I had it all wrong. In light of news today I repost Mr Bell's comments:

FCR

The future looks bleak for Ferrum Crescent - another placing isn't far from being needed!

The lower end of the AIM market can be surprisingly predictable at times, especially when it comes to raising funds, so it often amazes me how many private investors get caught out when such news comes. That would certainly seem to have been the case with the recent fundraising activity at Ferrum Crescent (FCR) and the events leading up to that, even if many on the bulletin boards were in denial of what was coming.

Interesting bearcast on IQE, but I'm afraid you're completely wrong on this says Paul Scott

I am, on balance, bearish on IQE (IQE) - not as a slam dunk it'sgoing to zero - I just think the shares are seriously overvalued as I explained in a weekend bearcast HERE. But Britain's top share blogger Paul Scott disagrees. The great man writes:

DPP

DP Poland – interims particularly emphasise EBITDA & “variable profit”. Wonder why?

The company with the exclusive right to develop, operate and sub-franchise Domino's Pizza stores in Poland, DP Poland (DPP) has announced half-year results, including emphasising “combined corporate store EBITDA and commissary variable profit up 39%”

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast - Amur can't you folks read what is in black and white?

Sitting here with my father in Shipston I start with what is my favourite joke from Frazier. Then it is onto the next joke, that is the news from FastForward (FFWD) one of the many joke investment companies linked to my old friend the offshore-based asset stripper Jim Mellon. Then it is onto Amur (AMC) which is so obviously placing ahoy and where the market cap is almost as much of a joke as a FastForward RNS. Then I turn to Jersey Oil & Gas (JOG) and the idea of risk reward before having a butchers at Rose Petroleum (ROSE) where even Stevie Wonder could see that it is placing ahoy. There may be a second bearcast on Nyota (NYO) where it seems there is a mega scandal emerging. Watch this space!

Pound-Sterling

Assuming the Government survives, UK budget set for 22.11.17

The main purposes of the incorrectly named “unconventional monetary policies” by Central bankers is to debase a currency, stoke inflation, and make exports more competitive. Therefore printing money aims to solve structural imbalances by making currencies weaker. In this race to zero in global currency wars, central banks today are “printing” more than $200 billion per month despite that the financial crisis passed a long time ago. Currency wars is the issue that no one admits to talk about, but everyone wants to fight in secret. The goal is to promote exports at the expense of your trading partners.

Meet & Hear Optibiotix tomorrow evening (Tuesday) in London + free drinks

I gather that there are still about a dozen seats going for tomorrow evening's presentation evening hosted by Turner Pope. Natch the main attraction is the free food and drink on ffer in Mayfair. But, more seriously, there are three companies presenting and taking questions.

WRN

Winner of the Bulletin Board Moron of the Week contest - sponsored by Bell Pottinger

Juicin Drumroll is going to accuse me of going easy on Aidan Early because he submitted a bunch of very funny moronic comments about the Worthington Newco yet he still didn't win. "Shenanigans!," I hear in the distance. "Rascality!"

BREAKING - Nyota no RNS as it may yet be saved despite AIM incompetence

Nigel Somerville asked yesterday why Nyota (NYO) had not been booted off AIM having lost the services of its Nomad, Roland "fatty" Cornish. There has been no RNS so far but here is what is happening.

Sell in May and Go away and come back on St Ledger Day - how did that work in 2017

It is an old stockmarket truism, just like "everything tipped by both Zak Mir and Justin the Clown will always go down". But while the latter truism bears the test of time, proving to be 100% accurate how did the former do in 2017?

MONY

Why Moneysupermarket may Make you More Money than Other Comparison Websites

Hello, Share Ticklers. Like me, you probably find comparison sites pretty useful. The savings you can make on car insurance, for example, are tasty. The first website that comes to mind is probably that annoying Meerkats one. This family benefits from its generous two-cinema-tickets-for-one deal all the time, though it can keep its cutesy market toys.

NYO

Nyota – how low has the bottom end of AIM sunk?

Today is the day that Nyota was to have been booted off the world’s most successful growth market unless a replacement Nomad had been appointed, Beaumont Cornish having resigned in mysterious circumstances. Of course, today is a Sunday, so we should have heard something on Friday. But as predicted HERE, there was nothing. I guess the shareholders always knew where they stood, but now it is confirmed: you are at the bottom of the heap.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast - Stratex rebels are dreaming, 1Spatial & the hookers & a Twitter moron

A three part bearcast. In part one I look at Stratex (STI) where old managers are trying to oust new. l explain why the old boys are dreamers and should be told to foxtrot oscar. Then it is onto 1Spatial (SPA) which is behaving as if it is placing ahoy and I am almost certain that it is placing ahoy. Either way - avoid. Finally I waste time debating with a total fucktard on twitter. Folks like @Aimfatcat deserve poverty.

B'jesus I live near the UK's personal debt hot spot

One of the great pleasures of a Sunday morning is reading the Sunday press or - because i am not completely antediluvian - reading various bits and bobs online without the threat of newsprint getting everywhere.  Pacing through the Sunday Times business section on my laptop i almost spat out my morning coffee when I read:

BREAKING: Purplebricks - bogus internet reviews on Trustpilot as it launches in the USA

A questionable business model,shocking revelations on Watchdog, very murky management CVs exposed HERE, a complete lack of profits, a sky high valuatione, endorsements from shareholders "nomates" Neil Woodford and Roger Lawson as well as being tipped in the Godawful Midas Column in today's MoS- what could possibly go wrong for Purplebricks (PURP)? To justify its most recent keep the lights on fund raise it had to promise a new expansion strategy. And so on Friday it announced a US Launch. Natch it starts off with patently bogus internet reviews as you can see below. The Yanks are so dumb they will not notice will they?

Time to boycott Ryanair it lies and treats passengers with contempt once too often

At no-one is watching O'Clock on Friday , 5.29 PM, Michael O'Leary's Ryanair (RYA) slipped out a statement that is obviously a lie shows utter contempt for its customers. Not that this is a novelty. My boycott of RyanAir has started t how long before others do the same an RyanAir starts to suffer financially. Lying to and treating customers like shit is surely a bad business model.

Levrett: Prospectus released - good news for the (founder) shareholders: is this the new Cloudtag?

At the start of the month, I asked the question on the lips of all the Levrett (LVRT) shareholders, namely when the bloody RTO was finally going to arrive. Well, fair play, it was announced on Friday and shareholders should be pleased, particularly the founders who got in at a fraction of the price of the ordinary private investor.
