After the SEC suspended trading in the shares of the fraud Tingo (US:TIO) last week for at least a fortnight, Tingo filed a notice saying that it would not be filing its made up Q3 numbers with the SEC. It has now filed the numbers but they come with a big caveat:

Woodlarks Christmas Grotto target reached & beaten – many thanks indeed

Thank you very much for all your generosity during the past three days. The target of £2,000 was reached and surpassed last night and as I write £2,175 has been reached which , with gift aid, is almost £2,600. You can still donate HERE to give even more presents to the kids in special schools and hospices. But the target is reached and on behalf of Nick, Sarah and the amazing team at Woodlarks, I say thank you very much indeed.

Vesuvius – confident will meet 2023 expectations, for income and growth BUY

Molten metal flow engineering and technology company Vesuvius (VSVS) has issued a trading statement including that its “differentiated solutions supporting both good pricing performance and market share gains… gives us confidence that we will continue to meet our full year 2023 expectations despite weaker market conditions”. Good news from a current 410p share price here?

Thruvision – interims, ‘a robust base from which the group can profitably grow’?

Previously writing on group describing itself as a “leading provider of walk-through security technology” Thruvision (THRU), last month with the shares up to 24p I concluded I still continue to question whether the group has currently ‘a robust base from which the group can profitably grow’. At a now prospective £38.6 million market cap, I still currently certainly avoid. What now of the group’s results for its half-year ended 30th September 2023 and the shares currently at 20p?

Ilika – argues “Key Technology Development Milestone”, how’s ‘key’ cash burn going?

Describing itself, not caring for modesty, as “a pioneer in solid state battery technology”, Ilika (IKA) has issued a “Key Technology Development Milestone”-titled announcement. What of this and the shares currently more than 20% higher at 35.5p in response?

MusicMagpie – bid approaches or an admission of debt crisis?

Someone, guess who, leaked to the Daily Telegraph that musicMagpie (MMAG) was in bid talks so forcing a statement from the debt laden company. It states that it is in “early-stage discussions with both BT Group plc and Aurelius Group as to a possible offer to acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of musicMagpie.” So what is really happening?

Helium One is unable to declare a drilling discovery and I have to wonder if it has enough funds for the next drill - avoid

Despite the way that people are trying to spin things on social media, the helium One Global (HE1) latest drill was a failure and didn’t yield any free gas from the target zones.

You can guess what Ashtead says next after observing “despite robust end markets…”!

Ashtead (AHT) offers rental opportunities in “a full range of construction and industrial equipment across a wide variety of applications to a diverse customer base”. I can remember about twenty years ago, when I used to sit opposite someone who was convinced that it would go bust but it avoided that, and the-then sub 10p share price hit over a sixty quid level a couple of years ago. Sadly, I was never clever enough to get involved in the stock during the glory years, but that also means I have no exposure when it announces a bit of a mixed update this morning…

You Need to Follow your Own Mind On which Shares might Rocket, But here Are My Chosen Few

Hello Share Trashers. I've been picking around for new share tips for you. But there’s nothing obvious out there this week. So let’s look at some recommendations I’ve made before which are still my favourites for some upward action.

I've just received this tweet - any guesses why this Avacta owning moron has zero followers

When shareholders in a company are this moronic you just know that it is right to remain bearish.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Boris Johnson being a dishonest knob, tax and back to Skinbiotherapeutics

I start with the Woodlarks Christmas appeal where were are just £353 short, go on please donate HERE. Then it is a bingo moment as I put together why I have a portrait of the 1st Earl of Abingdon c/o a book from 1862. Then Boris being disingenuous and the Tories on tax. Finally it is back to Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) and why I stand by comments made last Friday HERE and indeed go further.

Tom Winnifrith's Annual Woodlarks Christmas Grotto Appeal – please can you spare a fiver for an amazing cause: we are 81% there after 3 days

Right now there is building work underway at Woodlarks and that means that, for the first time I can remember, there will be no Christmas Grotto this year. However the Woodlarks Santa will be doing a mobile tour of schools with the sort of special needs Woodlarks is set up to deliver and to visit local hospices to see very ill children. “I want your money” as that poltroon Bob Geldof used to say.
