Deltic Energy – Another month, another potential offer!
It was only back in July that Reabold Resources (RBD), made an initial approach to take-over Deltic Energy (DELT). I did not like this proposal at all and concluded Reabold should just sod off, which it would appear it did, at least so far. On Friday Independent Oil &Gas (IOG) confirmed it was considering a take-over approach for Deltic. Once again I find myself questioning the very idea of a takeover.

BREAKING: Another Innovate UK scandal - £4.6m spunked on Haydale Graphene for what?
We have already exposed the cavalier way Innovate UK has spunked taxpayer cash on Versarien (VRS) with zero accountability. Next in line seems to be Verditek (VDTK). Now I turn to Haydale Graphene (HAYD).

Aviva: my FTSE 100 crush brightens up my weekend
I declared my new FTSE 100 corporate crush a month or so ago here and Amanda Blanc, the newish CEO of insurance giant Aviva (AV.), is starting to deliver. Yesterday’s announcement was that the company has sold its majority shareholding in its Singapore business to a strong sounding consortium for a cool £1.6 billion, which is not too shabby for a middling at best geographic division for a company with a market cap of £11.6 billion. Go that simplification plan!

Grim Reaper casts a long shadow over AIM as numbers continue to slump
We are almost back to 2003. That is the message from the London Stock Exchange’s latest AIM Factsheet (downloadable HERE) which shows that the number of casino chips on the world’s most successful growth market was down to just 825 at the end of August, against a peak of 1,694 companies back in 2007. AIM has more than halved in size.

The Economy Strikes Back and the Millennium Falcon Carrying Our Shares Shouldn't Lag Behind for Long.
Hello, Share Fans. The virus story is still fluid. And companies which benefit from its continuance are still diving up and down all over the place. I’m thinking of the many outfits looking for tests and vaccines. And those making sanitisers and disinfectants. But what about all the other shares? Well most of them are stuck. The Footsie hovers around 6,000 which means most of us are still suffering paper losses.

Shanta Gold – a buy?
Shares in East Africa-focused gold producer Shanta Gold (SHG) approached 13p in February with the gold price still then well below $1,700 per ounce. With it now well above $1,900 and looking to have, potentially much, further to go and following recent updates from the company…

Hurricane Energy – surely the case against the whore blogger Malcolm Graham Wood is now beyond doubt?
Today’s latest disastrous news from Hurricane Energy (HUR) is covered by Gary Newman HERE. Gary and Peter Brailey, having been bulls in the distant past, have both been warning you for ages that this was a disaster waiting to happen. But as the shares have collapsed from 60p to just 3p over the past 15 months, one man has been steadfast in his support. Just as he was until the bitter end with the fraud Frontera (FRR), churning out comment after comment after comment suggesting quite explicitly that the shares were cheap. I refer, of course, to Fat Bastard, the whore blogger Malcolm Graham Wood.

G3 Exploration – what on earth is boss Randeep Grewal smoking? (PS can I have some please)
G3 (G3E) used to be known as Green Dragon Gas (GDG) and on 4th October 2013 I published an explosive dossier despite quite explicit threats to me if I did so. The shares were then 229p and, natch, the Oxymorons at AIM Regulation did nothing. Today the shares are 10.35p but after the latest RNS, that is 10.35p too high.

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.

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…
