Servision - overtakes the fraud African Potash with the most expensive loan in AIM history - 33%

Servision (SEV) has today announced its interim results and they are dismal. The company is bust and why it's advisors (Nomad Allenby, broker Belfort Securities & PR himbo Christian Taylor Wilkinson at Cadogan Leander) do not call it a day and walk defies belief. It shows all three are morally bankrupt.The results are analysed in a bearcast special HERE. But I flag up in itw own right a loan Servision has taken from Yorkville which seems to be the new, most expensive loan , in AIM Casino history - at 33% - it is 5 percentage points dearer than the loan the FRAUD African Potash (AFPO) took out from Katrina Clayton, the wife of its FD. Frankly Servision would be better off borrowing on Christian T-W's credit card and splitting the difference.

San Leon at 44.75p - worth 101p to 120p says SP Angel in 100 page report ( you aren't meant to read, peasants)

Don't tell the compliance officer round at SP Angel that we have published this as he ( or she, I know not) is a dickhead who reckons that the fine research from that broker should go to institutions only and not peasants like you. But Zac "the knife" Phillips has today published a 100 page report on San Leon (SLE) in which he notes that the shares, now 44.75p after results this morning are worth 101p to 120p. We own the stock so are minded to agree that the shares are very cheap although Zac is perhaps a tad more optimistic than we are.

Result: African Potash FRAUD Caption Contest starring Lord Peter Hain & Lyin' Chris Cleverley

On Monday we asked you to supply suitable captions for the picture below featuring Lyin' Chris Cleverley the CEO, and expenses guzzling socialist hypocrite NED Lord Peter Hain of FRAUD African Potash (AFPO). After four weeks, Potash has still not sued me for libel as its fascist lawyers Memery Crystal promised so I guess it accepts that it is a fraud then.  Of course it is. Everyone knows that aprt from hapless Nomad Cantor Fitzgerald and the Oxymorons at AIM Regulation. Your suggested captions reflected that matter as you can see HERE. But the winner is:

Following an announcement of the appointment of a new CFO earlier this week, yesterday saw provider of cash-burning solutions, sorry, of “enterprise-ready, non-stop software solutions that enable globally distributed organizations to meet today's data challenges of secure storage, scalability and continuous availability”, WANdisco (WAND) make a further “Directorate Change” announcement…

Why do the Admirable Creighton Shares Keep Rising? Who Cares - If They Keep Going Up

Hello Share Fans. These days I find myself commending to your further investigation shares that I do not own myself more than shares that I do. One reason is that I feel it’s part of my job to explore promising companies which don’t always show up often on the City radar.

Filthy Forty Reporting Season Update: two down (suspended), six still to report as the clock runs down.

Ten days ago we identified ten of the (only) seventeen still-listed members of the ShareProphets AIM-China Filthy Forty which had a results reporting deadline of tomorrow (Fri 30 Sept) to meet. Actually, it was eleven as although Asian Citrus (ACHL) has a year-end of March it is dual listed in Hong Kong and only gets three months to report its finals there. But it won’t make it and has been suspended – as has MoneySwap (SWAP) which can’t get its accounts out on time. Which of the Filthy Forty are still to report, with just one day to go?

CRAW

Crawshaw – half-year results; is it able to restore material, positive trading momentum?

Writing on fresh meat and food-to-go retailer Crawshaw (CRAW) post a profit warning earlier this month, I concluded that the context meant the severe share price decline, to a then circa 44p, looked merited and the shares best avoided – see HERE. The following updates, with the shares currently at sub 35p, on the back of results for the company’s half year ended 31st July 2016…

Marcus Stuttard, Sham Sheriff of AIM: here is your specially selected AIM Portfolio. Good luck, pal.

If Marcus Stuttard, the Sham Sheriff of AIM, really believes that the Casino is properly regulated, we think he should put some of his own money where his complacent mouth is by investing in a portfolio of companies which would demonstrate his confidence in his team of Oxymorons at AIM Regulation. We are such nice guys here at ShareProphets that we have helpfully compiled a beautifully diversified portfolio for him. We, ahem, AIM to please.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Avanti inches to zero and Arian - once a dog always a dog - it needs shooting!

I start this podcast with a look at Avanti Communications (AVN) where I hope you ignored the ramblings of snot gobbler's colleagues at the FT and stayed short. 0p is still looking likely and I discuss the problems IIs face today. I look at Arian Silver (AGQ), a dog with fleas which has served the fat useless bastards on the board and its crony capitalist advisers well as punters have been shafted year after year. I look at Northern Petroleum (NOP) where today's dismal results tell you that it is placing ahoy AGAIN, at Petropavlovsk (POG), Galantas (GAL), Boxhill (BOX) and at Capita (CPI),

Filthy Forty Asian Citrus – a FRAUD as shares are suspended?

Strike two. The September reporting season has just taken its second victim of the 17 remaining members of the ShareProphets AIM-China Filthy Forty. Asian Citrus (ACHL) has announced that it can’t get its numbers out by tomorrow’s deadline for the HK Stock Exchange in the wake of allegations over conflicting bank statements and books which have triggered further audit work so as to get to the bottom of it. Thus the shares are to remain suspended over here (having had the plug pulled yesterday lunch time, “pending an announcement”). Oh dear Mr Marcus Stuttard, the Sham Sheriff of AIM, surely this could not be yet another China FRAUD on the Filthy Forty coming to light, could it? But I thought there was no problem of fraud on AIM….

Berkeley Energia - FY Report and also Amec News...it is all good stuff

The only matter of note in the Berkeley Energia (BKY) annual report for the year to June 30th 2016, in terms of financials, is cash and trade receivables. They totalled $18.6 million which is a very comfortable position to be in. What is really interesting are the footnotes. We quote:

Strat Aero caves into Hulsey Smith having again lied to its investors

Someone who invested in its last bailout placing told me that he did so because Strat Aero (AERO)'s lawyers had convinced him that it would wipe the floor with litigant Hulsey Smith who had accused Strat of serial fraud. He reckoned the shares would zoom when Strat won the case. Sucker!!!!!! But he is not alone. Strat told all investors via RNS that Smith had no case at all and that it was to counter sue. So today, as the trial loomed, it has caved completely. Er yes. Another lie from a company that is clearly run by pathological liars;. 

NWF

NWF Group – AGM trading update reckons outlook “remains in line”, but is a profit warning ahoy?

An AGM trading update from UK agricultural and distribution group NWF (NWF) includes that “the board's outlook for the year remains in line with its expectations”. The shares are currently 5% lower, at sub 150p, in response. Hmmm…

DEADLINE TONIGHT: Chris Cleverley & Lord Peter Hain - African Potash FRAUD caption contest

Here we have African Potash (AFPO) CEO lyin' Chris Cleverley in action with his senior NED Lord Peter Hain. I am not sure what they are doing but perhaps you know. Can you supply a suitable caption by midnight Thursday which will be four weeks since Potash promised to sue me for libel for calling them out as a fraud. I'm still waiting. Post your entries in the comments section below.  My entry is:

The arrogance of City folk who fail to accept there is a problem with China fraud - they are alright Jack

A leading City broker today opined "Now for bashers of Chinese Aim stocks they can have a field day today with Asian Citrus Holdings and their announcement on why they are suspended." Bashers of Chinese AIM stocks? Bashers? For the thousands of private investors who have seen their pensions raped by China frauds as City advisors have banked vast fees and prospered let us put those words into context.

Porta Communications: Top PR woman Emma Kane & some really dodgy looking share dumping

I like Emma Kane the boss of PR agency Redleaf which is 66% owned by AIM listed Porta (PTCM) a lot, but she has a hell of a lot of explaining to do with regard to how she dumped millions of shares just days before today's diabolical results from Porta

Game, set, match. Mr Stuttard: two case studies proving the regulation of AIM is not fit for purpose

In the wake of the Radio Four broadcast regarding AIM fraud on Tuesday, and as we approach the climax of the September reporting season, two companies on the ShareProphets AIM-China Filthy Forty which have now reported prove beyond doubt that the regulation of Sham Sheriff Marcus Stuttard’s beloved world’s most successful growth market is completely unfit for purpose. Those two companies are Jiasen (JSI) and Aquatic Foods (AFG). Mr Stuttard and his team of Oxymorons at AIM Regulation may protest that they are doing a good job and that there is no problem. The facts clearly demonstrate otherwise.

A Warm September Stifles My Desire to Buy Bonmarche Shares

Hello Share Scrimpers. When times become hard - and loads people are just not earning enough in these days of minimum wages and zero hour contracts - some things have to be gone without. One of these not-so-essential services is the provision of new clothes. Personally I’ve not bought any new threads for some time, due to a bursting wardrobe and the paucity of interesting new fashions these days.
