Bluebird Merchant Ventures - its ready to race ahead: buy

We have had nothing but good news from Bluebird Merchant Ventures (BMV) since its IPO yet the shares have fallen. But we know why and we tell you now you must buy.

Has Slimfast dumped Optibiotix? NO! Company comment

Following Sunday's exclusive news here about an Optibiotix product to help us lose weight being trialled out on Amazon I am asked if that means that the deal with Slimfast, the multi billion dollar slimming drinks company is off? No. It is not. I emailed CEO Steve O'Hara who said:

Brammer – swiftly from second half “increased weighting” to profit & debt warning

At its 13th May AGM industrial maintenance, repair and overhaul products distributor Brammer (BRAM) announced that “whilst there will be an increased weighting of the group's financial results towards the second half, our expectations for the full year, assuming our key plans for improvement in the UK and Nordics are achieved, remain unchanged”. We are now though told of a “reduced level of profitability”, seeing that “the group will be close to its net debt/EBITDA bank covenant at the period end”

Updated: Fastjet - the CV of the new CEO unravels: its built on a massive lie or is it?

The only reason the bulls can come up with to buy into Fastjet (FJET) is that it will soon see a new CEO take the helm, Nico Bezuidenhout, whose CV looks great having done wonderful things at Mango, the low cost airline offshoot of South African Airways (SAA). Unfortunately that CV is now unravelling big time. Or at least it is in real doubt.

Provexis - its placing is struggling: it needs to slash the price

On 9 June I revealed that POS AIM stock Provexis (PXS) was trying to get a placing away forcing the company to admit that it had secured "non binding committments " for £160,000 to be raised at 0.24p. Non-binding, as in worthless. Today we get even worse news.

GIPO

Grand Group – another AIM-China stock suspended!

AIM-China play Grand Group (GIPO) only joined the Casino in January 2015 and consequently missed inclusion in the ShareProphets AIM-China Filthy Forty despite sporting outstanding credentials: Cayman Islands incorporated, ownership of assets through VIE arrangements. Oh and a cash-pile to die for. On listing, investors must have been sorely tempted to grab a grand. This morning the shares were suspended because it can’t get its calendar 2015 accounts out by tomorrow’s deadline. Oops.

Interquest Profits warning - but dividend secure

Maybe the drift in the share price ahead of Monday's profits warning from tech recruitment firm Interquest (ITQ) was telling us something. If so I'm sorry we did not hear it. The statement caused the shares to really tank. To over-react in my view.

PPHP

Papillon Holdings - FD engages in a quick spot of tax minimization

Recently listed Papillon Holdings (PPHP) is - as Cynical Bear pointed out here - clearly an overvalued rum and coke. But in its brief existence it has at least achieved something: helping the FD slash his tax bill. Oh what jolly good news for the crony capitalists, coke and hookers all round.

Sutton Harbour Holdings - An Easter Egg of an Investment

Sutton Harbour Holdings (SUH) is one of those eccentric stocks which gets stuck trading below its NAV and frustrate shareholders for an extended period of time. In all the excitement yesterday over a particular airline’s precarious financial position, I neglected to read the annual results from this verifiable Easter egg of an investment.

Drink to This Tasty Share Which has Defeated the Post Brexit Panic.

Uncle Tom disagrees with me, but I never underestimate the power of the UK public and foreigners,f or that matter, to imbibe alcohol. My evidence is that every other customer at my local supermarket check-out has a basket full of cans and bottles and often little else.

Exclusive: Teathers sack-the-board EGM sees resounding win for rebels

And so the rebels have won hands down at the sack-the-board EGM of formerly AIM-listed Teathers Financial (TEA). ShareProphets can exclusively reveal the voting numbers - it wasn't even close.

RUR

Rurelec - shares suspended as FY15 results delayed

Well you can't say that you were not warned over and over again. This afternoon AIM-listed Rurelec - which has a few balance sheet issues - announced that its FY15 results will not be released by the end of this month (ie by Thursday this week) and so the shares have been suspended. Apparently they are pencilled in for release in a couple of weeks' time but there has to be a question of whether Rurelec shares will ever trade again.

Reader Poll: who will lead the Tory party & the UK?

As the ferrets plan to throw their hats into the ring the great Tory leadership contest is off and whoever wins will, on day 1 , be Prime Minister. So who will be leader? It is not who you want to win but who you think will win. Vote now with a deadline of midnight.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: crack whores like Eden, Golden Saint & Cloudtag as Polly Toynbee spikes Stockmarket

The worst newspaper in the world in the truth and analysis department is the Guardian and its worst columnist is the loathsome haridan Polly Toynbee. Silly Polly has today caused the stockmarket to surge as I explain. I then move onto FastJet (FJET), Teathers Financial (TEA), Tern (TERN) & Nigel's dynamite expose today and an array of AIM crack whores: Servision (SEV), Eden Research (EDEN) and Cloudtag (CTAG). Warning: this podcast contains some very bad language.

Filthy Forty AIM Casino Elimination Stakes – update as the race enters the final stages

I previously highlighted that a good few of the twenty remaining ShareProphets AIM-China Filthy Forty faced a reporting deadline of Thursday this week, 30 June. In honour of Royal Ascot we ran a poll which showed that readers of ShareProphets reckoned on two or three suspensions/delistings to come over the next (now) just under three weeks. The race has now entered the final three furlongs…how are the runners and riders looking?

Cloudbuy – awful FY15 numbers

Shares in AIM-listed Cloudbuy (CBUY) are off by 7% on publication of results for calendar 2015. They make dreadful reading.

SyQic - now shares suspended, is the CEO playing it straight?

Cynical Bear has already covered the stinking pus filled boil that is the bid for SyQic (SYQ) by its own CEO Jamal Hassim. Today it just got even smellier with the suspension of the shares.

IGAS shares sliding but the best (for the bears) is yet to come

Armageddon It. I'm a getting it...maybe the morons are finally getting it as IGAS shares are now firmly on the slide, down 6% at 13.25p to sell at the time of writing. But for we bears the best is yet to come.

Fastjet - Bailout Fundraising underway, now reliant on new investors

Fastjet (FJET) has its AGM and general meeting later this morning, at which the EasyGroup special resolution to oust the Chairman will be put to shareholders. Ahead of that, we have a trading update which confirms the bearish stance held on this website for the past several months.
