Wasting More Time with the bastards at Barclays
Having had the run around from my Barclays team in Douglas, Isle of Man as I described on bearcast yesterday, I was advised to go to a Barclays branch in Bristol with two forms of ID to change its records of whom I worked for. As I had a dental appointment in town I walked to the main Barclays branch in central Bristol, at Broadmead, where the bastards then wasted another forty five minutes of my life with sheer incompetence.

Thalassa Holdings – What the hell is Duncan Soukup up to?
Until quite recently, I was contemplating Thalassa Holdings (THAL) as a rare buy pick for me; however, further digging, particularly around the antics of the Executive Chairman, Duncan Soukup, and the recent odd investments have led me to precisely the opposite conclusion.

Fitbug – half-year results claim “encouraging progress” & “confident”. Really?
Fitbug (FITB) has announced results for the first half of 2016, including claiming that its “strategy has seen encouraging progress… with our additional working capital and reduced levels of debt following our successful fundraise in July, the board is confident as to the company's future prospects”. The shares have lapped it up by approaching 12%, to 0.28p, but is there really “encouraging progress” and ‘confidence’ here? ...

Dare We Invest in a British Bank? Have Another Look at Barclays
Hello Share Pushers. Barclays Bank is one of those shares I’ve held for years and years and rather wish I didn’t. No sooner do I top up then another bombshell, usually to do with world economics, hits - and down the shares come again. Were it not for the divi, I might have gone round and lambasted a director or two.

Filthy Forty MoneySwap – shares suspended: more ouzo at ShareProphets Towers
Well that didn’t take long: at 9.53 up goes our piece (HERE) pointing to the possibility that ShareProphets AIM-China Filthy Forty play MoneySwap (SWAP) could find itself suspended out of the blue with no warning (apart from HERE) and lo and behold the shares are suspended 37 minutes later (see HERE) because the company can’t get its accounts to March out on time. In view of this and in honour of the disappearance of QE Mr Stewart Dickson (formerly Dick) from Nomad Cantor Fitzgerald in the wake of the African Potash (AFPO) scandal (see HERE) I have changed my name to Mystic Meg.

French Connection - Is It Safe?
It’s time for another reference to share blogging supremo Paul Scott, who wrote in some detail on the subject of French Connection yesterday. While I share much of his perspective on this, I wonder if the bulls here might not be overly confident in their belief that the company is safe.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: I hate you Barclays, you are bastards
I reflect on how we gym users suffer and on how dealing with Barclays Bank as a customer has made me so angry today. I hate the banksters and make a few unkind comments about the Isle of Man. Then it is onto Feedback (FDBK) and a detailed look at Cyan (CYN) and an awful broker note you can read HERE from Beaufort which I tear apart. I really despair at how bent AIM has become. What is the point of being honest anymore?

Cenkos profits dry up, shares offer a counter-cyclical proposition
Cenkos (CNKS) attracted plenty of criticism on this website over its dealings in the the Quindell saga. Whatever the rights and wrongs of that case, it’s still worth looking at the company as a standalone investment. It has been profitable every year since listing in 2005, and over that time has produced an unusually attractive stream of dividends and buybacks.

The African Potash fraud ....Nomad Stewart Dickson "departs" - ouzo time!
Oh dear, the man who signed off on those ramptastic, but untrue, statements of December 1 2015 and January 6 2016 ahead of the bailout placing on January 12 by African Potash (AFPO) appears to have had a career "incident". Stewart Dickson was head of the team looking after the Potash fraudsters round at Nomad Cantor Fitzgerald, the man ensuring that all RNS's it issued were true. Which, of course, they were not.

Avanti Communications - new evidence emerges of just how desperate is its cash crunch
Ceteris paribus Avanti Communications (AVN) will be trading whilst insolvent within weeks - its cash will not be sufficient to meet contracted capex and bills payable. That is why it is delaying publishing audited results for the year to June 30th 2016 - no auditor is going to sign off on anything from what is an insolvency waiting to happen. Avanti is trying to hide the awful truth but industry sources are revealing its desperate measures to stay afloat.

Filthy Forty MoneySwap – share price falls below proposed bailout
I wondered HERE whether the proposed rescue refinancing of stricken ShareProphets AIM-China Filthy Forty play MoneySwap (SWAP) could get into a spot of bother as the shares were sliding. Now they have slipped below the mooted bail-out price of 0.2c per share.

BREAKING: Gable - why did it not reveal its dire regulatory mess to investors?
Gable (GAH) says that it wants to stay on AIM and its CEO William "Piggy" Dewsall seeking a new Nomad following the resignation of Zeus Capital on 12 September. In which case why is it NOT informing investors of the regulatory mess it is in? Is that not an AIM Rule breach? Is it telling prospective Nomads the bad news? Why did it not announce the information below on 9 September when its shares still traded? Is this why its chairman walked on 9 September? Answers Piggy, give us some frigging answers!

Reader Poll - should we sack Graham Neary for being too "nice"?
In these times of austerity we are all in it together but sometimes one needs to consider a bit of budgetary restraint one must always look at ones overhead. In that vein, while Graham Neary said "sell" Fastjet (FJET) yesterday many of us feel that he was still too charitable. And then there was his article on Cloudtag (CTAG) where he failed to conclude that it was a worthless fraud. Is Graham just too nice to work at ShareProphets. I have a P45 with his name on it but should I use it? It is up to you to decide, the deadline for voting is midnight today (Wednesday 21st).
