ICG-Longbow Senior & Cenkos start the week with a monster lie – you are LIARS

On Friday on the ShareProphets website I published a devastating bear dossier on ICG-Longbow Senior (LBOW) and as always, I signed off in my name. I have nothing to hide. I have been a journalist for three decades, longer than Cenkos has been acting for shysters. That dossier detailed the very dodgy CV of a key player and explained why the NAV was a work of pure fiction. Today Longbow has responded with a “portfolio update” which shows that it and its advisor Cenkos (of Quindell infamy) are nothing more than low grade liars.

Profitable Outfit with Top Brands Even Older than Me Looks Set to Boost its Share Price

Hello Share Planners. It’s possible you’re not familiar with a company called Ultimate Products Global Sourcing (UPGS). But you will have heard of its own brands or those it has under licence. They include Russell Hobbs, Dreamtime duvets and Beldray vacuum cleaners. And it recently snaffled Salter scales. All these are quite must-have things that could defy the effects of the higher costs of living.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Malcolm Stacey failing as a bear and why the Caracal scandal is so huge and matters

I refer at the end to a podcast on the Northern Ireland census I recorded today. Honestly it is more interesting than it sounds and is HERE. I start with Malcolm's failed career as a bear and where blue chips and small caps go from here. Then onto our bombshell on Caracal Gold (GCAT) today HERE and all the other red flags and why it matters that the FCA acts on this one.

BREAKING EXPOSE: The scandal at Caracal Gold, what a colourful cast of “characters” – this is a zero

If the name Caracal Gold (GCAT) does not ring a bell, count yourself lucky not to have this dig in your portfolio because it is a zero and one where the FCA should be crawling all over everything. Until 16 months ago, Caracal went by another name.

BlueBird Merchant Ventures – from the horses mouth

I am as frustrated as the rest of you by the failure of the share price of Bluebird Merchant Ventures (BMV) 1.725p, a £10.7 million market cap, is far too low if, I repeat, IF, it delivers what it has promised in South Korea and the Philippines. But this is a mining junior and IF is the operative word. IF it delivers I see these shares heading to 4p+ so I asked the company what was not happening.

Footsie's Creeping Up, but It May Not Last as Hefy Headwinds Hot Up.

Hello Share Speakers. Yes, I know the Footsie has been on a small roll so far this year. But I’m still reluctant to go back into shares. Though this week I did buy Lloyds Group         (LLOY) because I’m not the only one who thinks banks have been forgotten by investors who should have realised that rising interest rates benefit the big four.

Tharisa – Q1 report, still a value Buy

Platinum group metals and chrome producer in South Africa, Tharisa (THS) has issued an update on its first quarter of the year, including news that mining volumes were impacted by rainfall not seen in the history of the Tharisa mine but that it maintains full-year production guidance of 175koz-185koz PGMs (6E) and 1.75Mt-1.85Mt chrome concentrates.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Revolution Beauty's bosses should be in jail, if this is not massive fraud what is?

Dialight – after stating in mid-December “trading expectations… remain unchanged” for 2022, what of now a profit warning?!

Previously writing on LED lighting for industrial applications company Dialight (DIA), in November with the shares at 305p I concluded including that there can be no great confidence in expectations for the full year remaining unchanged. On 14th December the company announced that Chair Karen Oliver was to “step down” at the end of the month but that its “trading expectations for the year ending 31 December 2022 remain unchanged”. So what of the shares currently down more than 16% today at 266p on the back of a “trading statement”?
