Chariot Oil & Gas – Re-rated, but is it still a buy?
I’m sure most readers know I have been rather grumpy about my favourite sector, oil and gas, since March / April this year. In fact I have had very little positive to say about most companies in the sector all year. Chariot Oil and Gas (CHAR) was one I highlighted in July, having responded to a fellow shareholders concerns and comments. I was positive but cautious. It’s done rather well since, and its shares are up by some 500% since then. But what now?

A Golden Prospect with US Election out of the way?
Well, not so fast, because Joe Biden hasn’t formally won yet but the writing is on the wall. Notwithstanding that minor detail, Gold has had a storming few days, rising to $1950 per oz having kicked off the week at sub-$1880. One very strong performer was fully-listed Golden Prospect (GPM), along with its subscription shares (GPSS).

Video: A Biden Win is Great for Gold
Writer and trader Gary Wagner says that folks are waiting for more stimulus, but the next program will likely not arrive until February. The US economy continues to contract, and while some businesses are doing very well, others are being hit quite hard. The Fed has stated that interest rates will remain unchanged as it still has some options in their toolbox.He says that you can expect gold and equities to continue to do well in this environment.

Watch the Trend, Friend, if You Want to Bag Money-Making Opportunities.
Hello, Share Kickers. There aren’t many sensible strategies in Crazyland that ignore the sound principals of a company that are known as ‘the fundamentals.’ But my favourite ploy falls into this rare category. It’s the fabled financial proverb ‘The Trend is your Friend’. It’s made me a lot of money over the years and when I’ve ignored it, well, it’s cost me a load of gelt, too.

Hero of the day: Mike Ashley calls out Michael Gove out as a clueless authoritarian Covid imbecile
It is not often I have nice things to say about the loathsome lard-bucket Mike Ashley but, just for today, he is my hero as his Frazer’s Group has put out a statement on the Covid shutdown. As you might expect, Mike does not mince his words:

Wishbone Gold – shares rocket, what to do?
We hope very much that you took our strong advice to average down on Wishbone Gold (WSBN) at just 2.1p in August. If you did you must now be well ahead.

URU – In Whose Interests?
AIM-listed technically insolvent John Zorbas POS URU Metals (URU) announced yesterday that it has for the second time extended the initial 90-day initial notice period on its convertible death-spiral loan by a further 90 days. With the shares at 260p, the initial deal to convert the loan is massively more attractive for the loan shark than the 35% discount that would otherwise apply – so why is URU doing this?

Tern – When Will the Cash Run Out as Another Loan Heads to DA? Placing ahoy as shares crash
AIM-listed jam-tomorrow investment company Tern (TERN) has seen its shares come crashing back down again: there is still no news from Wyld (quelle surprise) and another stack of cash has headed off to the great computer in the sky over at Device Authority – not that Tern has announced that either. Having raised £1.5 million back in July, I wonder how much cash will be left over by Christmas.

Life-Saving Technology for Medics Could Bring Joy for Feedback Investors – at Last
Hello, Share Followers. A company for which I have high hopes still to be realised is Feedback plc (FDBK). On the face of it this AIM company which enables doctors and surgeons to see what’s going on in the human body should enjoy a buoyant share price. Yet it’s been disappointing for some time now. However, with much more focus on medical services these days, perhaps its time has come…

Simec Atlantis Energy- I was wrong (in part), but remain right!
I wrote last week about Simec Atlantis Energy (SAE) and the delay in determining the Uskmouth Power Station consents. I highlighted the delay in determination of the Natural Resource Wales (NRW) consent and any positive determination would then be followed by the Planning Application process. I was inadvertently wrong – the planning application is in and running and hence it is only appropriate I correct a matter of fact and what changes in my opinion as a consequence.
