Charlatan stock Cloudtag remains a compelling short
It wasa mixed week for the leading charlatan stocks on AIM. Shares in Cloudtag (CTAG) have come off the boil on an absence of news but there is worse to come for the bulls. These shares are set to collapse.

SP Angel’s Zac “the knife” Phillips plunges the blade into Frontera Resources (again…)
Another ramptastic RNS this morning from AIM-listed Frontera Resources (FRR) saw the shares race up to 0.135p at the peak but the shares have been sliding ever since, and are now just 0.095p last seen. Surely there isn’t a placing on the way, is there? Broker S P Angel in the form of the City's No 1 oil analyst Zac “the knife” Phillips was not so impressed. It could be good news, or it could just be a pre-placing ramp. But first there is the small matter of funding…..

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast - I am and insider and so fecking angry
I have just been made an insider and so cannot tell you why I am so fecking angry but I am spitting nails. I am also furious with a loathsome slug called Antony Browne who spins for the British Bankers Association, lies about Brexit and should be strung up with piano wire. Then it is onto Cobham (COB), Andes Energia (AEN), Tertiary Minerals (TYM), Sunrise Resources (SRES), Avocet Mining (BASTARDS) and the wider issue of the rape of Africa by the 1% of the West and of Africa and how it screws BOTH the 99% in Africa and the 99% here as well.

History will judge the world’s current major central banks very badly
History will judge the world’s current major central banks very badly and not only for their responsibility in setting the stage for the next global economic and financial crisis. These very same central banks will also be demonised for the social tensions that they have created between the haves and have nots and the subsequent rise in extreme politics. Since the Great Global Economic Recession in 2008-2009, highly unorthodox and untried and untested monetary policies have been pursued by the world’s major central banks in an effort to promote economic recovery.

Ex Workers at Avocet Mining seize 1,400 oz of gold - Avocet gives capitalism a bad name
It is the sort of incident that would have Sir Benjamin Dover fulminating about how you can't trust the natives out in Bongo Bongo land. Workers, who Avocet Mining (AVM) fired in December 2014, have seized 1,400 oz of gold which had been produced at the Inata mine. The incident says a lot about the way Western miners rape and pillage across Africa. I'm with the workers even as Avocet shares crash on worries that it may have a funding issue and that it clearly has breached Stock Exchange rules.

Xtract Resources - moves to the worst Nomad in London: It gets worse...
There are two statements out today from Xtract Resources (XTR) and neither can be viewed in any way as good news. We own these shares thanks to Dragons Den choices by Steve Moore & Gary Newman at UK Investor 2016, and today's admissions prompt me to start filling in P45s for both those writers.

Dragon's Den Star Piers Linney sends £21 million of other folks cash to Money Heaven
The PC Gauleiters at the BBC could not get enough of Dragon's Den star Piers Linney: black, working class, Northern, worth £100 million. Ab fab. All he needed to do was come out of the closet and chop his leg off and he would have been the perfect Royal Flush. The only thing was that his CV was not er...true. And documents filed by administrators to formerly AIM listed Outsourcery (OUT) show just what a Walter Mitty figure Piers was. Or maybe it was just BBC lies all along. Pravda does have form after all.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast : a word or two on the ADVFN Results
These numbers from ADVFN (AFN) were snuck out late on Friday. In part they relate to me and I can say that they are categorically misleading and so here I set the record straight. And then I analyse. This may well be commercially damaging for me but I am not going to stay silent this time as I explained yesterday HERE

Challenger Acquisitions – Board director allegedly tells colleague to “suck dick”: Charming!
I thought the Challenger Acquisitions (CHAL) wheel had actually come to a stop after a very quiet summer; however, recent announcements on funding and the New York Wheel indicate that it is still inching forward towards its inevitable conclusion. Thought I would dig around an obvious omission from the latest news and found a few interesting snippets.

K3 - New CFO, we won't hold his MBA against him ( now 133% ahead on share tip)
Orderly business succession is what we like as investors. Folks get old, folks move on and want fresh challenges but well run companies plan for this and do not make a drama out of what does not need to be a crisis.

Has the curse of Daniel Stewart been spreading?
I see that there has been some unhappiness at the Foresight 4 Venture Capital Trust (FTF) AGM, where a major new shareholder revolt almost succeeded in unseating the entire board, voting down the directors’ remuneration report and blocking the reappointment of KPMG as auditor (see HERE). Indeed, the directors saw the revolt garner votes against them of between 47.31% and 49.99% (in the case of the Chairman).

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: this is going to cost me hard cash but sometimes you have to speak out
Speaking out against Bushveld Minerals (BMN) today will cost me hard cash but I want nothing to do with this company after its sordid antics of last week. I plan tomorrow to look at how ADVFN's (AFN) results snuck out at no-one is watching O'Clock yesterday do not give a full and fair picture and that may also cost me financially. So be it. 15 years ago I was a failed whistleblower. I think there are mitigating circumstances but I regret it none the less and relay that story. Sometimes, whatever the consequences, you just have to speak up.
