SHOCKING EXPOSE: The AIM CEO who was made bankrupt and did not tell anybody about proceedings against him

If you are an AIM CEO and facing bankruptcy as a result of a winding up order from those to whom you owe money, surely this is a matter you should let your Nomad know about and also about which investors should be told? As the document below shows, for Osser the Tosser, Osamede Okhomina of ADM Energy (ADME) that is not the case.

Banks Have Been a Thumping Disappointment for Share Bunnies, but Perhaps the Tide's Changing.

Hello Share Takers. The case seems to be growing for buying shares in Britain’s high street banks. The biggest driver of the stock is the rising interest rate. Banks will earn more from the money they lend out. But they don’t seem to be offering bigger rates of interest on accounts, if they offer anything at all.

Probiotix Health – “a year of continued strong growth”, and what's next?

Probiotix Health (PBX), spun-off onto Aquis by OptiBiotix Health (OPTI) which retains a 44% shareholding, has issued a “Commercial and scientific update” including that “with growing sales, operational profitability, and a clear strategic focus on growing the business by commercialising ingredients and final products across more territories and more application areas with existing and new partners, we look forward to 2023 with great confidence and excitement”. What’s the detail from a current 21.5p share price, £26.2 million market cap?

So what next?

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Elon Musk businessman of the year or just a mega crook on a roll?

After all Time Magazine made Hitler man of the year 1938 and - I think - made Great Thunberg, the Doom Goblin, Person of the year as well. As folks in Europe and America freeze to death in coming years they will look back on both awards in an unkind way. So what of The Times making Elon its businessman of the year? As Ouzo man starts shorting Tesla (TSLA) again is this a Hitler moment? I also look at Asiamet (ARS), at whether UK retail had a better Christmas than expected and at Quantum Blockchain (QBT), surely a pre-placing pump is underway.

Anglesey Mining: using BBC fake news to get away a bailout placing?

With breathless excitement the BBC here in Wales yesterday pumped out an exclusive story which has prompted some of the sheep shaggers to fill their boots with shares in Anglesey Mining (AYM) prompting a bit of a spike in the share price. But it is all bollocks. And a prelude to a deeply discounted placing. The sheep shaggers here in Cymru are going to get their fingers burned. Shame on the BBC for failing to do even basic research. Its article from one day ago is below.

One Media iP – trading update, funding decision change due to “future potential”?

One Media iP (OMIP) has issued a trading update including that it is “pleased to be on course to deliver results that are in line with expectations, including double digit revenue growth… the outlook for the music industry, despite wider market challenges, remains on a strong and positive growth trajectory”. So what of a share price currently up more than 7.5% at 7p, to give a £15.6 million market cap?

Canadian Overseas – more bond conversions, easy cash for the death spirial providers, but far worse to come: do the math!

Canadian Overseas Petroleum (COPL) talks of its “bonds” as if it is a proper grown up company. Its Bonds” are a death spiral and today we have more evidence of how the (unnamed) provider is coining it in. Lovely jubbly for it.

Essentra remains an underfollowed FTSE 250 buy for me

There are always plenty of unknowns in global investment markets and maybe 2023 has a few more than normal. However, the likely direction of UK housing market prices is not one of them, as the real question is how much prices will fall. I see the Halifax House Price Index is now only up 2% year-on-year, so it will either be one or two months before it formally goes into negative territory. Whilst some people will remain very excited that Halifax also noted that its index hit its 40-year anniversary “with house prices up 974% since early 1983", I don’t think UK house prices are going to get anywhere near such a price appreciation over the next forty years. It is great to own your home, but stop thinking about it as an investment. Housing rant over, so let’s talk about a stock whose prospects I like for 2023: Essentra (ESNT).

Nightcap – when’s the (lack of) profits warning?

Spending her 100% cash bonus for last year must be hard for former Dragon Sarah Willingham of NightCap (NGHT). With the company having abandoned its rollout plan because of a major cash crisis and as LFL sales plunged by 15% post year end, anyone with a shred of decency would be handing that bonus back. Not La Willingham, she spent Christmas on a luxury family holiday in Australia. Is she back yet? If so when is the (lack of) profits warning.

David Beckham’s Cellular Goods – Bixby & Edwards now panic selling ahead of bailout placing/merger with insolvent cash guzzler

Oh boy this is ugly. The CBD play backed by arch LGBTQ hypocrite David Beckham, Cellular Goods (CBX), is rapidly running out of cash and wants to merge with another CBD company with stiff liabilities and which is burning cash faster than star chef (LMFAO) Brooklyn Beckham can burn his cooking. So quite obviously a major fund raising is needed within months to stave off bankruptcy. However…..

Tom Winnifrith Photo Bearcast: Was this another Zak Mir brown envelope job & should I buy Yourgene?

Eldur Olafsson of Amaroq (AMRQ) thinks I am a member of the British establishment. I explain why I am not. No doubt Sir Arthur Cochrane would view me as he viewed his daughter, my grandmother, as a "traitor to our class" But I am. and explain why with reference to Eldur's company. Then it is onto Zak Mir and the Okyo (OKYO) scandal. Your link to his video is HERE. And the photo below is of Zak himself relaxing today at the Carlton Club. That is the establishment today which makes me so hostile to it all and determined to be a simple goat farmer. Then I answer a, rather unfair, question on Yourgene (YGEN) before looking at Argo Blockchain (ARB) and Angle (AGL)

Live Company Group – operational update, cost savings for “working capital requirements”?

Events and entertainment group Live Company (LVCG) has issued an ‘operational update’ emphasising its belief in its multi-divisional strategy and that during 2022 “the K-POP division added a new event, the StART division added several new events in new territories including Korea and South Africa, LCSE confirmed the FE race and BRICKLIVE added shows in new locations and hosted its first event since 2019”. So why a current share price response approaching 10% lower at 2.75p, a £6.7 million market cap?

HeiQ – CEO shares purchase, a more than 12% higher share price response?

Describing itself as “a leading company in materials innovation and hygiene technologies”, HeiQ plc (HEIQ) has announced that CEO Carlo Centonze has purchased 300,000 shares at an average price of 28p each, so what of the share price currently responding more than 12% higher today to above 30p?

The new executive “incentive scheme” at Amaroq (AMRQ) has come in for some stick so, below, are some questions from reader T and some answers from CEO Eldur Olafsson. But before then here is why I, as a supportive long term shareholder, feel betrayed.
