Microsaic Systems – reckons “clear opportunities exist”, but it's a profit warning…
A “Trading Statement” announcement from Microsaic Systems (MSYS) starts with that “it is expected that EBITDA and pre-tax profit for 2016 will be broadly in line with market expectations… The company has reshaped its business strategy to focus on the Pharma market where clear opportunities exist for the company's products”. Hmmm, “broadly in line” is of course ‘slightly behind’, though at least there’s “clear opportunities” ahead. Though, wait. What’s that? The shares currently down approaching 20%, towards 3p?!? …

Gold Producers Have Underperformed And Will Continue to Lag – How To Take Advantage Of The Recent Gold Correction
In the mining sector, there is an old adage that is often invoked at the beginning of a new bull market – “producers will move before explorers and developers.” It might make intuitive sense, but the adage rings false claims Palisade Capital in its latest research. Over to the broker...

Photo article: Doing a good turn to assist 5 GCSE Cloudtag Moron Hayley who is better educated then (sic) me
With her 5 low grade GCSE's and diploma in media studies Cloudtag (CTAG) moron Hayley reckons she is better educated then (sic) me as part of a storm of tweet insults she sent me. Poor Hayley must be feeling a bit down given that shares in Quindell (oops, that is what her dim twin Kate backed & insulted me over), I mean Cloudtag, are suspended. So to make her feel better here is her promo photoshoot from the modelsfor facebook site. Always happy to support someone at the start of their career I bring you it in full. I warn you that Hayley is not dressed for going outside in these chilly winter days.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast - Why hasn't Deborah White been fired for breaking AIM Rules?
I have loaded the photos of pressing the olives from the Greek Hovel HERE. There may not be a bearcast tomorrow as I am about to start travelling soon. Today I look at LGO Energy (LGO), Milestone Group (MSG) and its CEO Deborah White who has committed market abuse and should be fired, Strat Aero (AERO), Fox Marble (FOX), Golden Saint (GSR) where I suggest a rule change is needed at AIM to deal with share dumping parasites like PR genius Steffi, and Proxama (PROX).

Milestone – Christmas Panto RNS: finally gets October Placing away.…Oh no it doesn’t!
It seems the pantomime season has started early: AIM-listed lifestyler Milestone Group (MSG) has announced that it has raised a keep-the-lights-on placing at just 0.3p, and that of the original October placing which was announced to have brought in £1.385 million, only £60,000 has made it to the coffers. If Nomad Cairn Financial thought that its (currently suspended) client CloudTag (CTAG) was just a rogue case, Milestone begins to make it look more like carelessness.

Thoughts on the rout of the spreadbetting firms -a pair trade: buy IG sell Plus
The Market reaction to last Tuesday’s news that the FCA was proposing stricter rules for CFD products was predictably savage. What surprised me was that IG Group (IGG) led the way with a 40% fall whereas Plus 500 (PLUS) fell “only” 27%. Since then IG has continued to weaken ( 470p at the time of writing) whereas Plus has rallied a little (373p ditto).

Iofina - when is a (lack of) profits warning not a profits warning?
When it is described as a "corporate update". That is how Iofina's (IOF) prize piece of excrement PR person Dominic Barretto headlined yesterday's profits warning. It looked so tame why bother reading? But it was a warning and Barretto being a total wanker deliberately did not add in any hard numbers. You see he views investors with contempt. His job is to polish a turd not to inform. And boy is Iofina a turd.

LGO - After the pump the inevitable dump
Having ramped its shares up to 0.15p by pretending that the refinacing of its bank debt was by anything other than a death spiral and with some huffy puffy claptrap about new drilling, LGO Energy (LGO) got back to what it does best today, a placing to dilute yet again.

Long road to recovery for Gulfsands
Whilst it is great to see Gulfsands (GPX) rising on the back of recent news about a possible peace deal in Syria, I am far from convinced that such a large rise in share price is in any way justified at this point in time.

M. P. Evans – hostile offer extended; claimed in light of subsequent developments, but first closing acceptances lowly
Previously writing on M. P. Evans (MPE) I concluded that it continues to look as though the difference between what Kuala Lumpur Kepong (and prior share price levels) and the M. P. Evans board (and the “independent valuer’s” and a number of key investors) seem to consider a fair valuation may well deny a deal here – and we now have an update from both sides…

That She Blows - Up Go the Oilers and It's Not Over Yet
Hello Share Cybers. One does not like to preen. And to be honest I haven't had much justification lately, what with Advanced Oncotherapy's woes. But you will allow that I did see oil prices rising.

And the winner of the ShareProphets Cloudtag rebranding contest is...
Steve Moore has passed on the task of judging this contest since we had 96 entries including my own. As you can see HERE there were many splended suggestions as to what Cloudtag should rebrand its product as. But there can only be one winner of a golden ticket to the UK Investor Show incorporating a night at the Saracens cabaret.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast - the Curse of Justin the Clown strikes again
In this podcast I look at Daniel Stewart (DAN) where Waseem Shakoor closed his short today. I look at the lunacy there, the lunacy at Cloudtag (CTAG) and show how it is the same folks, the sort of folks who are also preyed on by conman Darren Winters. On that note please read THIS ARTICLE TODAY - and tweet it out and link to it on Facebook and on any website you can. I look at Strat Aero (AERO), Ferrum Crescent (FCR), Avanti Communications (AVN) and then at another stock cursed by the frothing endorsement of the Clown, MySquar (MYSQ) which is a right old dog and its well spun RNS today can't hide that.

Cloudtag EGM passes resolutions but shares still suspended & that is BAD News
The EGM of AIM fraud Cloudtag (CTAG) was delayed because the plane carrying CEO Amit Ben Haim was held up by fog on its approach to the Channel Islands. Once the great man arrived all resolutions allowing the issue of vast numbers of shares to death spiral providers, and anyone else who will stump up cash, were duly passed. No shock there, most morons can't afford an air fare so voted by proxy pre suspension at a time when the shares were flying so, natch, they backed management. But....

Hardide – company reckons recent new funds for investment in growth, full-year results suggest different
Previously writing on provider of advanced surface coatings, Hardide (HDD) in October, I noted its raising of £1.6 million at 0.8p per share – questioning “to progress with its plans for future developments and growth” or ‘to keep the lights on’? We now have results for the company’s year ended 30th September 2016…

Molins – seeks to emphasise “positive” recent order intake, but for this year it’s another profit warning

Italy is a very big and aggressive fish to fry
Speaking in the week Mark Carney said that People are angry, as they face “The first lost decade since the 1860s” and he recognised that the benefits of economic progress have been unevenly felt. Worryingly he sees that the stagnation in wages, with no precedent for a century and a half, is set to continue. Younger people have been disproportionately hit, he also conceded.

Cloudtag: if management can't cash in on share options just move the goalposts
The share options which were in force when Cloudtag (CTAG) was admitted to AIM in March 2013 contained certain vesting conditions. These included a product launch date of 20 March 2014 plus other specified criteria including turnover exceeding £750,000 in a month! and a specified share price being exceeded for a five day period starting at 40 pence and increasing to 60 pence.

Filthy 40 Taihua – a deafening silence from the China fraud ( based on a housing estate in St Albans)
Tom Winnifrith asked some serious questions of Advanced Oncotherapy (AVO) and has been met with no response. He’ll keep at ‘em, but the lack of a statement looks very bad. In similar vein, I have been asking questions of ShareProphets AIM-China Filthy Forty play Taihua with the same result. I’ll keep asking too. Where is the website, where is the buy-back and where is the update on receivables?
