Shares in Sirius Minerals (SXX) have bounced today off 12 month lows hit earlier in the week but at 14p shareholders must be feeling the pain. Is there more to come?

Greggs the bakers (GRG) has seen its share price return to just below the level it reached at the time of the Q1 results. Last seen, the share price stood at 392p in contrast to the price of 412p when I said that its fundamental attractions prompted me to add it to my buying list. So having looked at these latest quarterly results have I altered that judgement?

I previously commented on FTSE-250 constituent Greggs plc (GRG) in April HERE when the shares were trading at 420p. I concluded then that the stock did not look particularly attractive given that key headwinds the company was facing showed little sign of abating any time soon. This has been borne out by results for the first half of the 2013 calendar year from the company today – which have seen the shares fall to just above 400p, capitalising it at just over £400 million.

George Osborne’s father in law who thinks that ‘fracking’ should be confined to desolate places could well have suggested the Anglo American  (AAL) company share price, which has looked pretty desolate until quite recently. Not long ago

Mr resource investment Eric Sprott does not mince his words. In this remarkable interview he says that 80% of mining juniors are absolutely worthless.

Fully listed CPP Group (CPP) shares have rocketed to 16.5p in what infamous short seller Evil Knievil describes as “the biggest bear squeeze I have ever seen”. Evil, aka Simon Cawkwell, remains short and expects the shares to collapse, but admits that they could easily go higher short term.

Shares in AIM-listed provider of enterprise resource planning software, hosting and managed services K3 Business Technology (KBT) have nudged approaching 3% higher today, to 114p, on the back of an announcement that the company has secured the first phase of a new order for its Microsoft-based 'Gemstone' AX product with “a major UK garden centre chain”.
