And now from Wales, by just 30 yards, it is my new weekly video show. This costs 99p per episode, and you can either listen to, or watch, a sparky interview with Red Rock Resources (RRR) boss Andrew Bell and then a detailed four way with myself, Chris Bailey, Gary Newman and Nigel Somerville on all things mining. Which metals are the ones to be in and why and how to play that. If you invest in mining stocks this show is for you..You can access the show HERE 

Today’s podcast looks at Braveheart Investment Management (BRM), Trevor Brown and the sham that is Remote Monitored Systems (RMS). I also look at the murky world of near insolvent Bidstack (BIDS), the Zoetic (ZOE) fraud and the warning from McBride (MCB) – where Naughty Nick is being naughty – what it says about McBride but also about inflation. 

Shame on all those such as Zak Mir who have promoted this bag of excrement for today’s trading update was a true horror both in terms of what it said bit also what it did not say.  Starting with the latter: this is a trading update which admits that sales are SFA but made no mention of losses or the cash position. Why not? I put it to you that if the company was drowning in cash it would shout about it.  That it does not mention it at all screams out the possibility that another bailout placing is on the way. Then there is what is said which is almost as bad.

Nigel Somerville agonised  at the weekend about who to vote for on May 6. In answer to his questions various of our writers will, over the coming days suggest who is worthy of your support. Last up is myself explaining why, here in Wales, we should vote for the cottage burning lunatics of Plaid Cymru.

Natch this is from a Bulletin Board, the ADVFN asylum Bidstack (BIDS) thread and the TW/Jew hating aidenabettin in full flow.

Earlier today I reported on market speculation that Stifel, the house broker to Bidstack (BIDS) had slashed its sales forecasts and materially increased its loss forecasts for Bidstack (BIDS). This cannot have happened without a company chat so why has there been no official lack of sales/increased loss warning. Is CEO Lying James Draper again in breach of AIM Rules. I have written to the Oxymorons at  AIM Regulation, as you can see below

Before I review today’s first quarter update from ITV (ITV), a few words on the AGM update from SIG (SHI) which I last wrote up in late March HERE.

Today, the oil company that toxic Dave Sefton ramped, raised funds for, did undeclared related party deals with and still owes cash to, Anglo African Oil & Gas (AAOG) was thrown off AIM as a near bankrupt shell. Last Friday it was the turn of the other company he destroyed with related party deals, Iconic (ICON) to have news and it all reads badly for Dave. I wonder how Dave’s business partner, the Tory, Damian Collins MP feels about this. More sleaze vicar?

Early this year we showed the top shorted London-listed shares at the start of 2021. How’s the performance (those in bold remain from 2020) as at the end of April?…

If there is a material change in your trading outlook, as an AIM Company you have a duty to inform the market at once, as per AIM Rules 10 and 11. But if you are Lyin’ James Draper of Bidstack (BIDS) you do not give a flying fuck about the rules. So has he issued a horrible lack of sales/increased losses warning by simply speaking to the analyst at house broker Stifel who slashes forecasts? Is it the case that as of Friday clients of Stifel heard the bad news, other morons who owned the stock did not. And the news, is rumoured to be dire. Cretinous low grade PR firm Buchanan, employers of the journalist smearing fraudsters PR of choice Henry Harrison-Topham, are failing to answer emails or calls on this matter but should get off its fat collective arse and issue an RNS or at least say this is not true if it is not true.

Nigel Somerville agonised  at the weekend about who to vote for on May 6. In answer to his questions various of our writers will, over the coming days suggest who is worthy of your support. Next up is veteran socialist Brian Basham, explaining why we should vote for the People’s Party, Labour.

Hello Share Bunnies. Fool that I am, my biggest holding is in Royal Dutch Shell (RDSA). My intention is to sell up as soon as the price gets closer to its highs, even though I realise it will not get all that close, possibly ever again. Never mind, the share price is currently rising as the value of Brent Crude continues to soar.

There are a lot of disgraceful things happening today and so this is a long bearcast and Matthew and his Dog will enjoy it. In it I cover: the fraud Supply@ME capital (SYME), the Zoetic (ZOE) fraud, the utter shocker at Live Company (LVCG), where Fatty  covers himself in shame, Sarah Willingham’s Nightcap (NGHT), a gotcha! for me but more smoke and mirrors and valuation anomalies from Ms W and finally Braveheart Investment Management (BRH). In the excitement I forgot to mention uber dog Bidstack (BIDS) which is now down to its last seven weeks cash and where a bailout placing must be imminent. If you enjoyed today’s show, how about backing the Rogue Bloggers HERE?  

Around six weeks ago I covered the IPO of a small mining company called Caerus Mineral Resources (CMRS) and noted that it looked interesting for anyone who liked these small, speculative type of plays.

10 weeks. Just ten frigging weeks. That is how long Paul Ferguson lasted as CFO of the fraud Zoetic International (ZOE) between his appointment and his resignation today with immediate effect. So what on earth is going on? Back in the good old days on 15 February the fraud announced:

Previously writing on Location Sciences Group (LSAI), in March I concluded that the financials together with ‘business review’ uncertainty meant it remained on the bargepole list. Now a “pleased to announce” fundraising, though the company also arguing “the current relative strength of the company’s working capital position”. Hmmm…

AIM-listed Catenae Innovation (CTEA) has waxed lyrical this morning about the acquisition of Hyperneph Software Limited. The acquisition – a 51% partial stake in the outfit – is set to cost Catenae’s grateful shareholders £270,000 in cash and £50,000 in Catenae confetti to be issued at the end of February next year at a 10-day VWAP. The transaction is classed as a Related Party Transaction as one former director of Catenae is on the board of Hyperneph, alongside a former employee and current adviser to Catenae.

I know I am a complete financial sector sado, but I always like to see how many investment analysts find usefulness in the concept that you should “sell in May and go away, and come on back on St. Leger’s Day” (with the latter this year falling on the eleventh of September).  It is a lovely saying but – based on a few years of looking at the data – it is also usually wrong!  I think fifty or one hundred years ago it was focused on the idea of stockbrokers and investors liking the concept of leaving their office and being able to attend horse racing, tennis, rowing and various other society events during the summer.  Suffice to say – well before recent challenges – the finance and investment world is a very different place nowadays. 

My good friends at the FRC have launched investigations into a number of companies as a result of my work, oft agreeing with my assessment of accounting malpractice and on a good number of occasions forcing them to restate results. The most recent thank you note from the FRC arrived just last week. I have today written to the FRC asking it to force Supply@ME Capital (SYME) to restate two sets of interims which are fraudulent and breach IFRS rules and to ensure that forthcoming, but delayed, prelims do not repeat the same crime. The letter follows.

Yesterday twitter was buzzing with shareholders in Supply@ME Capital (SYME) trolling me and attacking me about this article which they clearly had not even read. That is double evidence of how dumb they are. But in case you think it is just me who gets this sort of low grade trolling, check out these tweets sent late last week to Frazer Perring, the bear who exposed Wirecard and is now sticking it to Grenke AG. I often wonder if ther wife’s of folks who send such tweets have any idea what their other half’s are up to and such despicable morons they think such behaviour will actually protect their investments in duff companies?
