Chill Brands CEO suspended on insider dealing allegation but is this all it seems?
Say what you wish about Chill Brands (CHLL) but at least, as it destroys the wealth of its investors, the company never ceases to entertain. In today’s episode of nicotine free CBD enhanced beer and popcorn, it has been announced that CEO Callum Sommerton has been suspended on the basis of allegations of “the use of inside information.” But is this what it seems?- By Tom Winnifrith |

Why is Russell Fryer not being fired as CEO of Critical Metals PLC?
After hours on Friday came an RNS from Critical Metals PLC (CRTM) which shows that its CEO Russell Fryer is a crook who has dumped shares and actively misled investors. And he is still doing so. Why has he not been fired? With Fryer in charge this company is utterly uninvestable. Let’s be clear Fryer should, at least, be fired and not allowed to run a listed company again. If I was running the FCA I’d be looking to see if he could be jailed.- By Tom Winnifrith |

The View From The Montana Log-Cabin As Gold Presses $2,400 Again
Gold closed the week at $2,391 – up on last week’s $2,344 and again pressing the apparent barrier at $2,400. After a week in which the market reacted first to Iran’s strike on Israel and then the Israeli response, followed by signs that Iran is holding back on further escalation this appears to suggest, according to Tom Winnifrith, that the Gold bull could well have legs.- By Nigel Somerville |

Just how stupid are some shareholders in Ben’s Creek? Words fail me
They ignored numerous red flags and warnings on this website. They insisted they knew better than old TW. And now with its subsidiaries in Chapter 11, Ben’s Creek (BEN) is clearly a zero. But for the deluded this is all some great conspiracy to deprive them of vast wealth. And so they have started a petition.- By Tom Winnifrith |

A failed fund manager writes about how well Britain is doing
No not me! I have apologised for my failures and did not trouser £65 million for losing everybody's money. I refer to Neil Woodford who is reinventing himself as a blogger with a blog based, for unexplained reasons, in Switzerland, as he awaits further FCA censure. His theme is that the doomsayers are all wrong and UK equities are cheap. It was also his theme during the heyday of his fund management screwups. Woodford has been long and wrong for years. Anyhow, the scoundrel opines:- By Tom Winnifrith |
