The View from, over my gold pile, at the Montana Log-Cabin……Yawn!

If you are invested in big players on the Nasdaq or the Dow Jones it has been an interesting week so far. I say “interesting”, but it is in the Chinese sense – others might view it as worrying. One minute they are crashing, the next they are up sharply. The fear has to be that we could be about to head sharply south but there are enough buy-the-dips investors still around….for now. Gold, on the other hand, is caught in a range of around $1900 to just under $2000 per ounce.

What the Hut (Group)?!

Have you ever used e-retailer The Hut Group? On its website it describes itself as being ‘passionate about leading the growth of prestigious global brands in beauty, nutrition, luxury, and lifestyle’.  Clearly I am not its target customer but there are plenty of consumers out there for some of its brands including ESPA, Illamasqua, Myprotein and the online retailer lookfantastic, especially in a pandemic-tinged world which has moved more online.  As Debenhams, House of Fraser et al fade, The Hut Group takes their place.  And soon it will take their place on the stock market with a listing due next week.

Why has this moron not taken me up on my million pound bet offer?

Meet Krazykat, @GBarlowinvestor, he is a moron.

VTY

It's No Mystery Why Vistry Might Pick Up Speed in the Home Building Race

Hello, Share Swampers. Vistry Group (VTY) is a new home builder – sort of. It was formerly Bovis Homes and in January renamed following the acquisition of housing businesses from Galliford Try. It retained the Bovis Homes brand and the former Galliford Try brand, Linden Homes. Numbers for the first half of the year show that adjusted revenue boomed by 40% to £661 million. But that was down to the Galliford Try acquisition…

CYAN

CyanConnode – further “Director Share Purchases” and an “Investor Presentation”. Hmmm, what’s next?

Previously writing on CyanConnode (CYAN), earlier this week I concluded I retained prior caution – that of recent disappointment and the balance sheet. There has since been a further “Director Share Purchases” and an “Investor Presentation” announcement…

Aeorema Communications – “Business Update - Expansion of Virtual Events” & more...

Live events agency Aeorema Communications (AEO) has updated including “successfully expanded its virtual and hybrid events offering” and “an encouraging number of multi-national blue-chip client wins seen in 2020 so far”

Verditek issues more confetti but for what PR exactly? Meanwhile what has happened at BBR?

Can there be any more red flags fluttering over laughable AIM Company Verditek (VDTK)? You bet there are. First up is today’s news of a share issuance for PR services. What PR you say? Exactly.

Version 2: Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: It seems I am being reported to the Police again

I apologise for the sound quality; I have rerecorded and V2 is far better. I am shitting myself… not! In today’s bearcast, I reveal why evil short-sellers (well Lucian, anyway) want Donald Trump to lose and then look at Red Rock Resources (RRR), Vela (VELA), Iconic (ICON), and Verditek (VDTK) which is where the old Bill come in. Or rather don’t.

DMTR

DeepMatter Group – argues “pleased to announce” results… so why the share price fall?

Self-styled AIM-quoted company focusing on digitising chemistry” DeepMatter Group (DMTR“is pleased to announce its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2020”… and the shares have currently responded to 1.85p, 14% lower…

Supply@ME Capital – forced trading statement of pure bullshit, bailout placing on way?

When I, again, exposed the con Supply@ME Capital (SYME) the other day, its boss Alessandro Zamboni told one of his moronic shareholders that his lawyers had advised him not to sue me for libel as I was only seeking readers and, anyway, full year numbers would speak for themselves. But with the shares sliding and the company almost out of cash, today we have a trading statement which whiffs of panic and is pure bull. It also begs the question of insider dealing.

Wm Morrison: we don't make that much money, honest Guv...

I shop reasonably frequently in my local Wm Morrison (MRW) store and generally I have a positive view, a perspective I have generally applied to the shares too. Last month, I concluded that the company was in a good position including its savvy hook-up with some small distribution partner called Amazon. Today’s interim results to 2nd August are headlined ‘responding and growing’ and these two attributes are absolutely at the core of any appraisal that needs to be done…

Dev Clever – deep fried bullshit of a trading statement

One hopes that the FCA is actively investigating the clear market abuse engaged in by Dev Clever (DEV) with its May 13 subscription announcement. If you wanted any more evidence that this grotesquely overvalued company was slippier than the slippiest of eels, it was provided today with a trading statement which is nothing of the sort.

HFD

Halfords, the Cycle People, Seem Virus Proof and Looking Good

Hello, Share Shakers. Not so long ago, I commended Halfords (HFD) to your further research. An update is out for the first five months of its financial year and shows a 5% increase in like-for-like sales. That’s not as much as I would have hoped, but compared to other high street outfits in these restrictive days it’s still impressive…

“Director/PDMR Shareholding” announcement from Cake Box Holdings (CBOX) commences; “The following notification, made in accordance with the requirements of the EU Market Abuse Regulation, gives further details on the purchases”. The major transaction is though a director shares sale!…

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Bidstack's countdown to next bailout placing

It is bad news for gender fluid, Bidstack (BIDS) owning, journalist-defaming moron Mike Turner - the countdown to the next bailout placing is underway. I crunch the numbers and speculate on what boss Lyin’ James Draper will do about it. After that I consider Verditek (VDTK) and its growing catalogue of lies and also warn Innovate UK that I am on its case as I have been alerted to another of its grant scandals. Finally I consider two companies that are desperate to be bid for but which, I suspect, will not be: Audioboom (BOOM) and Eurasia Mining (EUA).

Tom Winnifrith Video Shareshow No 9: Almost 3 hours of Lucian Miers, Myself on Dev Clever and Harry Adams of Kefi

And now from Wales, by just 30 yards, it is my new, I hope, weekly video show. This costs 99p per episode, and you can either listen to, or watch, some sparky interviews with bear raider Lucian Miers on the markets, the real economy, his longs and shorts and gold and with Harry Adams of Kefi (KEFI) ahead of the most exciting six weeks of his career. Listen carefully to what Harry says, having just bought more Kefi a couple of weeks ago I am delighted with certain matters he raises. Finally, I look at Dev Clever (DEV) and why it should face a full stewards!. You can access the show HERE

David Lenigas ramps again - please don't let me stop you

I reckon that my losses on Wishbone Gold (WSBN) are now down to around £25,000. In that vein, I should like to apologise for any suggestion that Mr David Lenigas is an unscrupulous ramper of penny shares and make it clear that he is a thoughtful analyst who does detailed research before taking to twitter. For he is at it again.

QUIZ

Quiz plc – “Retail Store Portfolio and Trading Update”, ‘encouraged’?

Fashion retailer Quiz plc (QUIZ) has updated including it “is encouraged by the consistent improvement in like-for-like sales in recent weeks” and “rental terms for the reopened stores are consistent with those targeted by the group. They provide a flexible cost base going forward with rents payable predominantly based upon revenues generated rather than previous higher fixed rental arrangements. The average lease length on these stores is 24 months” – and the shares have currently responded to 8p, more than 7% higher…
