Only earlier this week Cora Gold (CORA) announced a new discovery (at the Bokoro II permit) at its Sanankoro gold project in Mali. Now an “Additional New Discovery at Sanankoro Gold Project”…

It was back in 2014 that ShareProphets nailed Rob Terry and his sidekicks after they did a stock loan with Equities First which turned out to be a discounted outright sale with an optional buyback clause, and spent a tiny proportion of the proceeds on buying a handful of extra Quindell shares. Of course, the transaction was presented to the market as them buying more stock when in fact they were selling vast quantities of shares – the killer punch being that those Equities First deals were non-recourse.

KEFI Minerals (KEFI) “is pleased to provide its latest quarterly operational update”. This is with the update including on its current flagship Tulu Kapi gold project in Ethiopia, “we have received significant interest to potentially provide the outstanding asset level equity and other forms of duly subordinated investment. Our discussions are progressing with Ethiopian investors and international specialist mining financiers, with the aim of securing the required project equity ahead of closing the full financing package in October 2020” and then also “we are also encouraged by the recent approval by the Saudi Cabinet of a new mining investment law, which is a very positive development for our two other advanced projects - Hawiah (copper-gold) and Jibal Qutman (gold) projects in Saudi Arabia”…

AIM-listed alternative energy supplier Yu Group (YU.) yesterday offered up a half-year trading statement ahead of interims on Wednesday 30 September (deadline day to avoid suspension – a bit of a Red Flag). Having always advertised plenty of cash but turning out to be running short in the net current assets department, is it any different this time? I fear not…..

Hello, Share Smashers. Though some of my portfolio has held up remarkably well during the pestilence, my biggest holding has been among the worst affected Footsie giants. That’s not surprising as it’s Royal Dutch Shell (RDSA & RDSB). This giant could only forge ahead if the oil price was ok and sadly it has proved anything but. The price of Brent Crude is down a massive 35%. Shell’s share price has tumbled by more than a half over the year…

There are breaches of TR1 rules and a lack of transparency on Versarien’s (VRS) cash position. We need clarity, and that clarity will demonstrate why the £5 million UK taxpayer loan is 100% illegal. I move from one dog to two others: Iconic (ICON) and Supply@ME Capital (SYME) before offering some price targets on Ariana (AAU) where I am a very happy shareholder.

AIM-listed Turkish gold-producer Ariana offered up news this morning of a major resource upgrade at its (currently) wholly-owned Salinbas Project, where the global JORC resource had improved by 50% to 1.5 million ounces of gold. Good news for shareholders, and despite some share price slippage amongst gold-producers the shares were marked up to a peak of 5.7p before settling back to 5.4p, a gain of 6.9%.  And the news gets better……

In advance of a requisitioned general meeting scheduled for 4th August, dispute between Gulf Marine Services (GMS) and Seafox International Limited has further escalated with announcements today…

Earlier, I flagged up howone twitter moron, AIM Investor, blamed me for losing so much money on shares in the fraud Supply@ME Capital (SYME).  Oh dear, it seems as if he has reacted badly, changing his name to Warren Buffett and saying, as you can see below, he will pass my musings onto the boss of Supply@ME for him to assess. Go on fellows, please try to use lawyers to threaten the Sheriff of AIM as it always ends so well for CEOs who go down that path. Sell y’all in Court bitchez! 

In ancient times, heavenly alignments foretold doom. What would the ancients have had to say about the recent extraordinary planet parade when Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune – plus the dwarf planet Pluto – all lined up together? And, at the same time, that most basic and primal of metals, gold, was also shooting up to the stars.  

Such are the stages of grief, those who have lost out seek folks to blame. Supply@ME Capital came to the market via an RTO at 0.68p on March 23 2020. Its prospectus was, at best, grotesquely misleading and, in my view, fraudulent, mistating both assets and the trading posution. Today we have published yet more shocking revelations and shares in the, almost insolvent, company languish at sub 0.05p to sell. They are worth 0p. So who is to blame for the losses suffered by morons like @Aimfatgreek who takes to twitter? Er…. you will never guess. Or maybe you have seen this play out before.

Surely, after the latest shocking revelation about Supply@ME Capital (SYME), it is only a matter of time before the chocolate teapots at the FCA move in to stop parties linked to CEO Alessandro Zamboni from the covert dumping of more worthless stock on private investors. If you do own the shares, here is another reason to quit – broker Stanford Capital has had enough.

Previously writing on self-styled “a global leader in enterprise innovation management solutions” Sopheon (SPE), in May I questioned 2019 only “a pause” in growth… or not?. Today a “Mondelez Partnership” announcement and the shares currently at 870p – more than 12% higher on the back of it…

Three months ago here, I discussed how at least Lloyds Banking Group (LLOY) and Royal Dutch Shell (RDSB) were starting to chomp down on the reality pills being given to them by trading realities. I stand by my assertion after today’s heavily red ink-influenced Shell numbers that this is not one I am excited about. I do not think it is anywhere close in working out how to effectively and efficiently invest in areas that could be attractive to shareholders who have cashed dividends for years and years thrown off by ‘black gold’ (which now is perceived – correctly in my view – as the black sludge it always technically was). It is not that oil demand is disappearing, it is that the costs of playing the game are getting higher…

Tom Winnifrith says folks should be in jail over the RTO prospectus and assiociated placing for Supply@ME Capital (SYME) with its bogus balance sheet, untrue claims about trading and worse. But if that was not bad enough we have share trades this week, aka hidden and illicit dumping by the CEO accompanied by blatant share ramping, which should have the FCA suspending the shares at once. I start with a chart of the price and trading volumes.

I have returned from a week’s holiday – only interrupted by sniggering at Tom Winnifrith’s view on an unmentioned share (Synarigen: SGN) as a new man. Apparently I am a “ramper” as I can see value in something that may change the political message on CV19 and hence has value. Tom so amused me as I always thought I was the “Victor Meldrew” of the investment world?  Now I have always believed in burning many hydrocarbon molecules to propel myself forward at speed– especially in V8 petrol engine motors as often as I can. I have seen the light. I’m going to hug an electrified tree – but of course it’s all bollocks.

Hello Share Diviners. As I’m on my travels without my usual sources to hand, allow me to air some general views about why ITV (ITV) makes a reasonable subject for your consideration today…

Plant Health Care (PHC) has updated emphasising “the company’s revenue growth in the first half of 2020 is a strong performance, which demonstrates the merits of exposure to agriculture, as an essential industry” and “Covid-19 has had limited impact on the business to date”. The shares though are currently still at 9.625p, down from 15p+ in February…

Gold and silver have been a marvellous upward ride recently and are surely due a correction. The yellow stuff is already in to new territory above $1900 per ounce and Silver has doubled and then some since the low point mid-March. The technical analysts are saying correction – including ShareProphets’ fave Jordan Roy-Byrne of TheDailyGold.com yet so far although there have been bumps from turbulence the high-flying jet of precious metals is still flying high.

I have recorded a long Coronavirus podcast on my own website HERE. On today’s podcast on shares, I look at Versarien (VRS), Supply@ME Capital (SYME), Online Blockchain (OBC) and Sound Energy (SOU) and the sordid world of the whore blogger Malcolm Graham Wood.
