Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Cliff Weight of ShareSoc, the High Class Eastern European hooker, Mark Slater & our bet

I'm not suggesting anything inappropriate - just making an analogy, as I discuss Zephyr Energy (ZPHR). Then, I touch on Optibiotix (OPTI), and a chat with Steve O'Hara. If you'd like to spend a day with Steve over all day drink and home-produced Welsh food, you can of course do so, HERE. I am pleased to say that almost a third of the seats are already booked out. After that, it is onto Oxford Biodynamics (OBD) and Shield Therapeutics (STX) - will its placing be at 5p, or not at all?.  Then, Pennon (PNN), sewage and Feargal Sharkey. Finally, Abingdon Diagnostics (ABDX), where good news has seen the shares rocket. However, that only postpones the next bailout placing (or death) until Adven

Advanced Oncotherapy – Has Odey Doubled Down In Face Of Embarrassment Of Insolvency?

AIM-listed Advanced Oncotherapy (AVO) has announced that Odey Asset Management is coughing up another £4.5 million as part of a £6 million fundraise to add to its investment in March of £2 million, again at 25p a pop – the par price. So is this an act of faith by Odey, or a case of if you owe the bank a million quid then it is the bank which has a problem?

Tom Winnifrith Bonus Bearcast - A DDDD Expose and another thought on the fallen star of the AIM Sewer

Once again, I explain why Gary is wrong on that interview: unless you've been CEO of a challenged PLC - I have - you don't appreciate the bind 4d Pharma (DDDD)'s board was in. Then the expose, another financing blunder, an offer rejected and why that decision caused investors to lose everything.

Powerhouse – can anyone explain what is the USP of its unproven tech is now? HUI goes Dutch

On a day when Ceres Power (CWP) hooked up with Shell, promising to spend £100 million on its tech - which will produce Hydrogen far more cheaply than anyone else on this planet - I ask someone, anyone, to explain the point of Powerhouse Energy (PHE), as its bastard offspring, Hydrogen Utopia (HUI), goes Dutch.

CLIG

London Calling... for You to Look at this Umbrella Outfit with a Mighty Divi and a Mini PE

Hello, Share Splashers. I think you might consider whether to buy shares in City of London Investment Group (CLIG). Why might this be a good idea?

MEAL

Parsley Box – Wimbledon package following Platinum Jubilee “success”. Er...

Direct-to-consumer ready meals group Parsley Box (MEAL) has issued a “Wimbledon cream tea & Pimms Daily Mail partnership”-titled announcement including that the offering is “following the success of Afternoon Tea for Two for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee… Our plan includes offering a wider range of relevant goods to our customers which they have demonstrated that they are keen to enjoy”. So what of a share price currently up to 18p?...

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Kefi, Kefi, bloody Kefi

The Mrs was nextdoor, so I had to be upfront with you and list the sort of things I normally say but could not do today. Then, it is onto Kefi Copper & Gold (KEFI), and some comments about its behaviour today; Caspian Sunrise (CASP); Verditek (VDTK); Petropavlovsk (POG) - looking like a bang-on zero; and Wildcat Petroleum (WCAT), which is not much better.

Describing itself as a “manufacturer of innovative performance ceramic products serving hospitality markets worldwide”, Churchill China (CHH) on Wednesday was “pleased to report” a continuation of record demand, that its order book remains healthy and that it “remain confident in our ability to deliver an improved year on year performance in 2022”. Now a “Director/PDMR Shareholding” announcement...

How on earth did 4D find itself being placed into administration - the red flags that could help you avoid similar

Hindsight is often of little use on the markets and consists of people kicking themselves about something which seems obvious after the event, usually a missed trade, but occasionally it can also be used to avoid making the same mistake again.

PTRO

Pelatro – “AGM Statement”, what about the recent RNS Reach announcements & broker change?...

Software for customer marketing company Pelatro (PTRO) has issued an AGM Statement including that “contracts announced in the last month in both the telco and the non-telco space demonstrate our continuing success in building the group's recurring revenue base… we are confident of delivering a performance in line with expectations for 2022”. So what of a share price of 27.75p, down from above 40p last Autumn?...

PZ Cussons is still a bad day Buy for me

Back in April I called the Imperial LeatherCussons BabyCussons KidsCarexOriginal SourceSanctuary Spa and St. Tropez seller PZ Cussons (PZC) a “bad day buy” below a 200 pence share price. I think we might have had a few of those year-to-date. But if you have bought some shares - like me - then you certainly have not made a fortune (yet) as the shares are basically 200p this morning. Still, it could be a lot worse…

Inspirit – Mind The Ramp As Placing Must Surely Follow

AIM-listed Inspirit Energy (INSP) has announced the remarkable achievement of over 30kW from a first stage build test for its waste heat recovery system. Woopie-do! But is this all it is cracked up to be, with the shares up 49% on the news?

Jumbo Retailer with Membership Fees could Beat the Inflation Threat

Hello Share Trundlers. You might want to avoid shares in shops and stores in these inflationary times as people cut down on their shopping. But some retailers might do better than ever when money is tight. Take Costco (0I47) for instance.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast - in defence of Neil Woodford

I start with the garden, before explaining why I am driving all the way to Greece - my rational decision is a canary in the coal mine of global inflation. I defend Neil Woodford against a low-grade Sunday Times journalist, with reference to 4D Pharma (DDDD). Then, I look at bonkers house prices and when the tears will start.
