A Letter to Stuart Ashman about that death spiral he now admits has been a disaster

At least Stuart Ashman of Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) has now admitted that the death spiral taken out with CLG Capital is a very bad financing option as some of us pointed out right from the start, and were told we did not know what we were talking about!. He says that he will not draw down any more on the facility but, after two conversions, there are still £1.47 million of loan notes outstanding.

LoopUp – from 100p per share IPO in 2016 to now proposed de-listing and shares below 1p. Hopefully our multiple warnings were heeded!

Having cautioned on LoopUp Group (LOOP) since its AIM IPO and much more subsequently, including most recently with the shares up to 1.9p in November, I note the shares currently down more than 60% today below 1p on a “Trading Update & Proposed Cancellation”-titled announcement. Again, hopefully our prior warnings were heeded then!…

Versarien: Korea disposal only postpones insolvency: Neill Ricketts turns £4.34m into £600,000 in just over 3 years

Today’s RNS announcing the sale of its Korean Assets and Licencing of IP is welcome, albeit temporary relief for the long suffering shareholders of Versarien (VRS). The company will still go bust and its shares are still worth 0p.

GOTCHA: Ouzo on Cornflakes No 2: Canadian Overseas Petroleum goes bust

How must disgraced Arthur Millholland, who conspired with the morally bankrupt ghouls at Yellow Jersey PR to smear me in an RNS after I first exposed Canadian Overseas Petroleum (COPL) as a crock of merde be feeling today. For he now wakes up to his second major corporate blow up and shareholder wipeout. Leopards do not change their spots. Arthur is a serial destroyer of value. Will he and Yellow Jersey led by Dominic Barretto now apologise you scumbags?. What about Felix Smith who thinks I should be in jail for my coverage of Canadian? Or those shareholders who, egged on by that vile RNS, trolled my poor wife?

GOTCHA: Ouzo on Cornflakes No 1: Bidstack goes bust

How Mike Turner, the cross dressing IT consultant from Northampton, and also the Jew hater who thinks I conspire with Mossad to attack his beloved Bidstack (BIDS), and disgraced CEO Lyin’ James draper must be wailing and gnashing their teeth this morning. But for the Sheriff of AIM it is ouzo on cornflakes time and another big vindication as Bidstack (BIDS), about which I have warned around 340 times right back to April 2019 has gone bust. As the blessed Margaret said, as we sent the Argies packing in South Georgia: “just rejoice at that news. Rejoice.”

Oi Clem Chambers where are the accounts for Online Blockchain?

We still have no idea why London’s worst Nomad, Roland “fatty” Cornish, resigned the account of Online Blockchain (OBC) with immediate effect on December 5 .Fatty acted for Johnny Hon, the New World “flight risk” and money laundering crew and Daniel Stewart when Quindell fraudster Rob Terry was calling the shots. He would act for a company run by Bernie Madoff, Jeffrey Epstein and Satan with Liz Truss doing the budgets, if the retainers covered his gargantuan luncheon expenses. What was so terrible about Clem Chambers’ Online that he had to quit?

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: running through my mining juniors

Greetings from a Wales where it is too wet and cold to do much gardening which annoys me almost as much as the rugby. Then I look at the gold price, Amaroq (AMRQ), Jubilee Metals (JLP), Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI), Bluebird Merchant Ventures (BMV), Red Rock Resources (RRR), Centamin (CEY), Ariana Resources (AAU), DS Smith (SMDS) and Legal & General (LGEN)

BREAKING: What Neill Ricketts is doing now surely invalidating his unlawful dismissal claim as he shits bricks about the SFO and that China “deal”

Well for starters he should be shitting bricks if reports I hear about the SFO being asked to look into the supposed China MOU’s/Innovate UK Loan prove correct.

The View From The Montana Log-Cabin As Gold Smashes Through The Glass Ceiling And A Quick Round-Up Of My Bigger Holdings

Gold finished the week at the lofty height of $2,179 – almost $100 up on last week’s $2,082. It also put in a new all-time high at $2,195 as it smashed through the resistance of a thirteen-year “cup-and-handle” formation and looks set for further gains. The big Gold yawn certainly has ended!

The Black Horse Gallops Ahead - and I should Jolly Well Think so, too

Hello Share Shufflers. This old punter struggled to find you a deserving, but overlooked, small capper this week. So I return to a well-traded penny share, Lloyds Bank (LLOY). The Black Horse has been galloping ahead, putting on nearly 20% since a low point on February 13th. But it’s still a long way from its post 2008 bank crash best.
