NatWest’s £5m a year Alison Rose “resigned” with immediate effect – will she get a payoff?
Her position was untenable after she admitted – as I suggested was the case here – that she was the person who leaked to the BBC details of Nigel Farage’s bank account at Coutts and a claim that he was not targeted because of his political views. Many banking experts and media types have such Farage derangement syndrome that they defended Alison Rose the CEO of NatWest (NWG) the owner of Coutts. I disagree with Farage on much but what Rose and Coutts did was wrong. I could see the wood for the trees.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Tom is Sceptical but I believe this Jolly Green Pioneer Could Still Reward the Braver Investor
Hello Share Swingers. Uncle Tom has had another go at me, this time for supporting another denizen of his blacklist. And yes, Ceres Power (CWR) has taken a double whammy this week. The last one was yesterday when a rather dismal trading update was released.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: NO! I did not say buy Optibiotix at 119p!
Optibiotix (OPTI) shares are now 32p and still cheap. How cheap? I will be doing a detailed piece with revised numbers within 48 hours. But first I respond to a bit of trolling. And I flag up who my next CEO guest is on the video show. Then I look at Trackwise (TWD), Wandisco (WAND) and Brighton Pier (PIER)- By Tom Winnifrith |

Brighton Pier Group – “trading statement”. Hopefully my prior caution on the outlook was heeded!
Previously writing on Brighton Palace Pier and other UK leisure and entertainment group Brighton Pier (PIER), in February with the shares falling to 61p I concluded I remained cautious of the outlook and continued to avoid. The shares most recently closed at 57p… and what of them currently heading towards 40p on the back of a “trading statement”?

Why both my pension fund and I are passing on an ice cream from Unilever
What is your favourite Unilever (ULVR) product? Whilst some of you may mention Hellmann’s, Colman’s, Percil, Dove or even Domestos, I guess the majority of people will say at least one of Magnum, Carte D’Or, Ben & Jerry’s or Cornetto. And collectively, for a fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) business, it is always fantastic to have great brands. So, is it good or worrying news that this morning’s first half results from the company show less than 50% of its products are taking market share? And what does the new CEO think about all of this?- By Chris Bailey |

FireAngel – “with the net proceeds of last month's fundraising, we are confident for the future”. I’m currently not so for the group…
Previously writing on safety products group FireAngel Safety Technology (FA.), last month with the shares falling below its 5.05p per share fundraising price I concluded bearishly – desperate results, management change and fundraising... and still uncertainty?!. Today a “Trading Update and Directorate Change” announcement and what of the shares currently materially further lower at 3.25p?

Wandisco – shares relist and collapse by 96% and still a bargepole stock!

BREAKING: Evil Banksta writes to the FCA regarding Cineworld’s listing and rule breaches
Evil Banksta is the sort of naïve chap who thinks that the FCA actually bothers implementing its own rules. If I had a bridge to sell I know who I’d be selling it to. He has again written to the FCA pointing out that the crack regulators are ignoring their own rules regarding Cineworld (CINE) in not suspending the shares at once for a failure to publish results. The credulous fellow writes in his own name:- By Tom Winnifrith |

Kromek – full-year results reckon “looks to the future with confidence”. What about still the financing uncertainty?
Describing itself as “a leading developer of radiation and bio-detection technology solutions for the advanced imaging and CBRN detection segments”, Kromek (KMK) has announced results for its year ended 30th April 2023 including “cash and cash equivalents at 30 April 2023 were £1.1m… Post year end, the group successfully concluded a placing, subscription and open offer which raised £7.4m net of fundraising costs… looks to the future with confidence”.

Breaking: Audio Recording of the AGM from Hell, Doc Holliday vs disgraced Rod McIllree at More Acquisitions
Anyone who boasts of working with Seth Freedman and the convicted felon Nick Leeson, as Doc Holliday does in the recording below is, by definition, not a scholar and a gentleman. But then again Rod McIllree of BlueJay Mining (JAY) infamy is a total scallywag. Doc wants to call an EGM to oust Rod from More Acquisitions (TMOR) – and I back Doc as I explained HERE. The two went at it hammer and tongs at More’s AGM on 10th July as the recording below shows. Pour yourself a cold beer, get a bowl of popcorn and enjoy as it is fabulous stuff.- By Tom Winnifrith |

BREAKING: Who coined it in as Deepverge collapsed? Did Zak Mir collect any brown envelopes
From £70 million to nothing, as Deepverge (DVRG) awaits almost certain administration investors in this company will have lost everything. But did someone make a packet? I bring you below three tweets and an article by the Sith Lord Zak Mir of Lift Global Ventures (LFT). The article ( dated 7 February 2023) talks of a “tsunami of cash” being on its way to Deepverge.

Moneysupermarket.com continues to make progress...with the robots
Back in October 2021, I observed about Moneysupermarket.com (MONY) concluding that new deals from the “start saving serious money today” company were a-coming. And clearly, they are, including a bunch of new TV adverts over the last few months, along with a bunch of MoneySavingExpert and Quidco angles for all the cost savers (inevitably) out there. How did its first half numbers get on and what are its prospects for the rest of this year and beyond?
