Video: Are my fellow Kefi shareholders your top pick for the pub quiz team?
Yesterday Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) did a presentation on the Investor Meet platform then took questions from private investors. I'm happy with the presentation and am happy to still rate the shares, at 0.669p as a BUY. They could easily treble this year. I thought boss 'arry Adams was upbeat. But I also worry that some of my fellow shareholders are the sort of morons who give morons a bad name. For light relief just skip to the Q&A. Enjoy.- By Tom Winnifrith |

BREAKING: The FCA Bottles it: Standard Listed frauds will not need an advisor after all & can "carry on robbing"
Oh dear, oh dear. The FCA had the chance to clean up the sewer that is the Standard List by forcing all companies to retain a regulated advisor, rather as AIM Companies have to retain a Nomad. Fearing losing its license a Nomad should, in theory, stop companies telling outright lies or committing fraud, as happens all too often on the Standard list. But a consultation paper CP23/31 shows that the woke warriors at the FCA have bottled it and thus will allow investors to carry on getting screwed.- By Tom Winnifrith |

XP Factory – argues recent trading “very strong”. Why then a balance sheet position that dare not speak its name?…
Previously writing on Escape Hunt, escape rooms, and Boom, ’battle bars’, company XP Factory (XPF), in August with the shares around 17p I wrote half-year trading update, how’s that balance sheet now? – concluding to avoid. What then of a further trading update today with the shares at 16p?

TheWorks.co.uk plc – adjusted EBITDA expectation “currently remains unchanged”. But that’s bullshit earnings – and what of the “currently”?…
Previously writing on arts and crafts, stationery, toys and books retailer TheWorks (WRKS), in November with the shares down to 28.4p I noted consumer spending and competition concerns suggesting its net Christmas outcome not looking promising and to avoid/sell. The shares most recently closed at 27p and today a “FY24 Interim Results and Christmas Trading Update” announcement.

BREAKING: Tom Winnifrith & Evil Banksta: Belluscura, TMT Acquisitions, Nigel Wray and Dowgate
Nigel Wray attended my most recent wedding almost ten and a half years ago and he is my friend. Or I really hope that he still is. I do not wish that to change but the optics of the proposed takeover by Belluscura (BELL) of TMT Acquisitions (TMTA) now look terrible for him and he should insist that it be renegotiated. I flagged this up in Bearcast yesterday but I now dig deeper and bring in comment from Evil Banksta who is short of Belluscura.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Bingo, Bongo, Bango profits warning, I hate the language and the valuation sucks
I am being lectured today by a hipster accountant who says that I really need to get down with the kids and understand social media influencers, after my podcast yesterday. Perhaps it is because I am something of a dinosaur, or at least someone who looks back to the 1980s with a nostalgic longing, that I have always been a perma bear of technology stock Bango (BGO) which has today served up a ghastly trading statement. But it is not just the content but the wording which, at every level, is a red flag.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Watches of Switzerland – profit warning, hopefully Chris Bailey’s grumpiness on the shares was heeded…
Luxury watch retailer operating in the UK, US and Europe, Watches of Switzerland Group (WOSG) has issued a trading update commencing, “Despite a positive start to the early part of Q3 FY24, WOSG then experienced a volatile trading performance in the run-up to and beyond Christmas”. The use of “volatile trading performance” tends to actually mean poor trading performance…- By Steve Moore |

Catenae Innovation – Another Change Of Name (Pointless), Share Consolidation, More Confetti…..Why No Mercy Killing?
AIM-listed serial crock Catenae Innovation (CTEA) has announced a change of name, a General Meeting to approve a share consolidation and wants to issue yet more boatloads of confetti as it searches for an acquisition which might offer a viable business. But first it has to deal with a convertible loan facility – hence the capital reorganisation, as the shares are well below par. I don’t know why it is not just being taken outside for a mercy killing!- By Nigel Somerville |

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Honestly do you know who social media influencer Jessica Wright is?
Apparently she has one and a half million followers. Anyhow I explain who she is and why this affects or does not affect Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX). Then it is onto Eden Research (EDEN), it is always the coverup that gets 'em. Then BlueJay Mining (JAY), sounding out periods and was there forward selling? Finally a long look at Belluscura (BELL) and TMT Aquisitions (TMTA).The deal really stinks and should be called off which would utterly fuck Belluscura. Finally I am off to open an extra account at Barclays (BARC) -I already run 3 - for the reasons you can see below..- By Tom Winnifrith |

Portmeirion – I having questioned in September the likelihood of forecasts being met, what of a latest trading update?…
Previously writing on homewares group Portmeirion (PMP), in September with the shares slightly further lower from 288p I concluded questioning whether forecasts would be met with it only in late May that it noted it had “seen some increased caution from US customers during recent weeks”. The shares most recently closed at 280p, but what of them currently at 235p on the back of a trading update?

Andrew Monk Disgrace Dispensa: will it (again) restate its interims before insolvency?
Dispensa (DISP) the Sub Standard list POS formerly known as Zamaz, a company created by Dominic White of the fraud Supply@ME Capital (SYME) infamy is in serious trouble. The only question now is when the end will come and why. This company listed at 11p, a £77million market cap in September 2022. I explicitly warned that it was a sham but the FCA knew better and allowed the listing to go ahead. The shares are now just 1.625p and my target is 0p.- By Tom Winnifrith |

OptiBiotix Health (OPTI) has announced a forthcoming launch of ‘LeanBiome in Muscletech’, “one of the leading sports nutrition brands in the industry and backed by America's No. 1 selling sports supplement company”.

This site is a bit more cautious.
