Superdry – more ouzo for the bears but time to close your short ahead of Julian Dunkerton "rescue" and delisting
For those dumb enough to own the stock the outcome is the least bad option. That would have been Superdry (SDRY) going into administration and the muppets losing everything as a result of ignoring numerous warnings on this website because, as ever, they knew better. But a refinancing at either 5p or 1p and then a delisting is not exactly good news either. It is the least worst option.- By Tom Winnifrith |

A confused shareholder in SEED Innovations writes…
You may remember that I thought that it was a cunning plan to gain a small exposure to the cannabis bubble I should buy some shares in SEED Innovations (SEED). Thanks to a massive share price collapse my exposure is now even smaller, in fact it is almost irrelevant. I hung on because the shares trade at a steep discount to NAV and arguably to cash. But I am, today, confused.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Dr. Martens – trading warning & CEO Kenny Wilson has so much outlook “confidence”… that he’s decided to leave!
Previously on footwear brand company Dr. Martens (DOCS), in January I wrote Q3 ‘in line with full year guidance’, but that’s not really an achievement, concluding with the shares around 81p that the trading trajectory and financials suggested still an IPO Roll-Call of Shame avoid/sell. The shares most recently closed at 94.95p, but what of them currently down to below 70p following announcements from the company today?

The shares most recently closed at 484.2p, but what of them currently heading towards 440p on the back of a latest trading update?

Wildcat Petroleum…oops a daisy, when will the FCA end this farce?
The first RNS on the Standard List was a slam dunk lie, ludicrous chairman Mandhir Singh tells all sorts of tall stories in telegram groups and in non-GDPR compliant spamming and its official spokesperson is a cartoon cat. It has almost no money. What is the point of Wildcat Petroleum (WCAT). When will the FCA just end this farce? Why not now as there appears to be a problem in Sudan.- By Tom Winnifrith |

East Imperial – hopefully my refinancing warnings were heeded as now... “the company has ceased trading”!
Most recently writing on East Imperial (EISB), in February I concluded ‘the market cap now falling towards £3 million and it admitting establishing a US base and distributors has taken longer than expected and sales in China growing slower than expected – not, therefore, I suggest a compelling refinancing proposition, especially in the present highly challenging financing environment. As such, I reiterate to currently be particularly wary of the attempted ramptastic here and reiterate the stance of avoid/sell’. Today a “Suspension of Share Trading” announcement…

Gold closed the week at $2,344 – another new all-time weekly high, up from last week’s 2,330, but having peaked yesterday at around $2,430 it was a bit of a disappointment for Gold bulls. After the peak in December, out favourite technical analyst, Jordan Roy-Byrne of TheDailyGold.com commented that “Mr Slammy” had come into play, crunching the yellow metal price back down again.
