ShareProphets readers tips for 2019 competition – Easter update

Having asked for readers tips for 2019 for the amazing prize of a meal with Tom Winnifrith (or the chance to fob it off on someone you don't like) HERE, the following is an Easter update on performance (to be eligible needed to have selected, on a per username basis, a buy & sell pick from the LSE or AIM Casino and the stocks not to have been suspended at the commencement of 2019)...

Dividend Munchers – Easter 2019 update (and still beating Neil Woodford)

I have been remiss in not updating on my little portfolio of FTSE-100 dividend munchers for a while: it is time to make amends. This was a small portfolio put together in the hope of beating bank interest, but from a point of view of being bearish on the market. It has been a bumpy ride, but at least I am still ahead of Neil Woodford!

Notes from Underground: By the sea, by the sea, by the beautiful sea

Do we have any readers in Margate? My wife and I spent yesterday in your fair town for the first time and enjoyed it immensely. However, to get there from London, we needed to use the SouthEastern Trains service and that is a train operating company that should be fired into the sun.

Twitter shuts down Ariadne Capital whsitleblower accounts – so much for free speech

Ascent Resources - placing inevitable and imminent - surely it is time just to put this dog down?

My attention was drawn to Ascent Resources (AST) last nightby a number of rampy comments on the boards.  It’s one that I’ve shorted in the past and if you can get borrow then I suggest that you think of doing that when markets open after the long weekend.  The analysis is simple: Ascent is a dog, its business model is farcical, it’s run out of cash again, rather coincidentally (as is always the case on AIM) the share price has been ramped in the last week and a discounted bucket shop placing must be just round the corner

ARB

Argo Blockchain – full-year results, what for the cash-backing? BUY

Argo Blockchain (ARB) has announced results for the period from its incorporation on 7th December 2017 to 31st December 2018, including “the group expects to turn EBITDA break-even in the second half of this year”

In this bearcast I look at what a dismal failure AIM has become and examine the inherent conflicts of interest which make such failure ( for investors) inevitable.

Columbus Energy Resources – Q1 2019 update, significant potential catalysts ahead…BUY

Currently Trinidad-orientated, Columbus Energy Resources (CERP) has updated on the first quarter of 2019 – with Executive Chairman Leo Koot adding “the next quarter will be busy as we prepare for the SWP drilling campaign and progress other M&A opportunities”

EXPLOSIVE: Management Resource Solutions boss Zorbas submits fraudulent accounts or lies to market – which is it?

Believe it or not AIM PLC directors are meant to be deemed by their Nomad to be “fit and proper” individuals to hold such a post. Don’t all laugh at once. And that brings me to John Zorbas the boss of insolvent Management Resource Solutions (MRS) which is happy to lie to investors.

KEFI

KEFI Minerals – Q1 2019 Operational Update… milestones on the horizon: BUY

KEFI Minerals (KEFI) has updated on the first quarter of 2019 – including emphasising Prime Ministerial go-ahead for the Tulu Kapi gold project in Ethiopia and that the Regional Government has begun triggering the consecutive steps of the resettlement programme…

BKY

Podcast: A Recovery for Uranium is Now Unfolding

We have a small exposure to Uranium via Berkeley Energia (BKY) but its shares are driven by the Spanish approval process more than the uranium price. But I can't say i'd be averse to a bull market in yellowcake. 

UJO

Union Jack Oil – we not as pleased as it with sale of licence interest… but still imminent “company-changing” potential

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: chatting to Nigel Wray on the crisis of capitalism & more Yourgene anger

Happy Easter weekend to you all. Ahead of more renovation work on the Welsh hovel I ponder a chat with Nigel Wray about why it is always a stockpickers market and about the real crisis facing capitalism, executive greed and abject returns. I have a few more comments about Yourgene (YGEN) where I am even more angry. And ahead of my next training walk I urge you to make an Easter donation to the Woodlarks rogue bloggers HERE

Explosive Winnileaks scoop: Leon Hogan's disappeared tweets, the Alerion deal and possible market abuse?

AIM regulation has acknowledged that it has received my formal requests to investigate lies told via RNS and the related party nest of snakes at Management Resource Solutions (MRS). At the centre of it all is 10% shareholder and noted market bad boy Leon Hogan. Now thanks to Winnileaks here is something else for regulators to consider...potential market abuse.

Table of shorted AIM shares - week to 18/04/2019

From the FCA's spreadsheet of short positions required to be disclosed to it, the following shows the shorted AIM shares with positions from 2018 and thus far in 2019 (by net short position %, those in bold not on the list at the start of 2019) – and if this position has increased (red), reduced (green) or remained unchanged (black) since last week...

Neil Woodford – Bank Holiday reading in the press this weekend

As investors settle down for the Good Friday and Easter bank holiday weekend, Neil Woodford has had a fair degree of coverage to assimilate. Articles in The Times and the FT point to Woodford’s sale of £42 million worth of NewRiver REIT (NRR) to his former junior at Invesco – something which ShareProphets readers have been aware of ten days now (it is good to see the dead wood press keeping up!) Meanwhile Citywire reports that the suspensions of Woodford’s stocks in Guernsey may be resolved this coming week although we are not told which way. And Hargreaves Lansdown appears to be standing by its man, still, as it covers the recent results from WPCTsomething covered here some two weeks ago.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Mr Angry on the Yourgene front

In today's podcast I look in detail at Managenent Resource Solutions (MRS), Yourgene (YGEN), First Derivatives (FDP) and hapless Neil Woodford and the crashing yield on his Equity Income Fund. How soon will that force Hargeaves Lansdown (HL.) to drop him? And I discuss my plans for weekend training walks as I urge you to become a hero as we surge through 25% of our Rogue Bloggers for Woodlarks target HERE

FAB

Fusion Antibodies – emphasises second half improvement… why a muted share price response?

“Fusion Antibodies plc (AIM: FAB), a pharmaceutical contract research organisation specialising in antibody engineering services, provides a business and unaudited trading update for year ended 31 March 2019, confirming the improvement in second half performance announced on 25 February 2019”. Sounds positive – though despite being down from more than 100p in August and even a start of 2019 more than 50p, the shares nudging up to only 30p?...
