In anything other than a raging and insane market this company would be valued at 0p

Published 13 days ago

Verditek (VDTK) is a company that I have exposed as a serial liar and warned about many times before and my bearishness has been vindicated. Last August, at peak ramp, the shares stood at 18p. Egged on by disgraced share tipster Mike Walters some folks paid almost 20p a pop. Today the spread is 3.7p-3.9p but even that values this business at £12.8 million which is insane as fair value is clearly zero. The valuation tells you everything you need to know about the insane market in which we operate.

Verditek – more bad news from Tory Toff Lord Willetts, cash crisis looms

Published 35 days ago

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. That used to be the catchphrase of disgraced penny share tipster Mike Walters of Minmet, 3DM, Polly Peck, Pursuit Dynamics, etc, etc infamy. I wonder if he will be using it today as the Verditek (VDTK) dog he has promoted so aggressively has coughed up to another lack of sales warning. It means that a bailout discount placing is inevitable within the next couple of months but natch the company, chaired by Tory Toff Lord Willetts, polishes the turd.

Before we get to the most read articles, I’d like to point out my tip of the year 2021. Before you dismiss it as the ravings of a scoffer, I’d like to point out my 2020 Share Tip of the Year was Flutter (FLTR). You could have been in at 9,300p and it’s 15,110p today. My 2017 UK Investor Show tip was an eight bagger (It was Versarien (VRS), still doubled if you held it to today), and my 2018 UK Investor Show tip, Red Rock Resources (RRR), also doubled if you held it to today. And as long as you didn’t count IOMart (IOM), which I also recommended last year, you would have been quids in.

The best time to kick a man is when he is down: Ref Hurricane Energy

So says my good pal, the infamous bear raider Evil Knievil, and he is right.

I commented as part of my share tips at the recent share conference on Royal Dutch Shell (RDSB) and why I remain cautious about re-purchasing my previously largest individual shareholding.

With Shell I see material risks in the near term over and above oil price, and as always it’s worth reviewing the detail.

Reviewing Tipsters’ Top Picks for 2019

Published 852 days ago

The UK economy suffered a tumultuous 2018, and it proved to be a particularly rough year for holders long in UK-listed shares: the FTSE100 suffered its worst year in a decade, while the FTSE All Share slumped 13% over the course of the year. The turbulence we’re experiencing looks set to continue into 2019 as markets struggle with mounting uncertainty. As a result “tipping shares has never felt more hazardous”, but there are potential rewards; Joanne Hart (Daily Mail) notes that “UK shares are widely acknowledged to be undervalued, presenting clear opportunities across the market”. I should point out that Tom Winnifrith and others think Ms Hart is useless and clueless.

BP - a buy for income

Shares in BP (BP.) approached 600p as summer dawned and again earlier this month. They’ve been hit in the recent sell-off though, despite - already offering a hefty dividend - the second quarter results having emphasised “momentum and the strength of our financial frame… we are increasing our dividend for the first time in almost four years. This reflects not just our commitment to growing distributions to shareholders but our confidence in the future”…

This has impacted upon the profit margins of these lines. Therefore, the board has concluded that the full year profit before tax is likely to be marginally lower than last year”. However, that was because of “demand out-pacing capacities in our factories ahead of planned expansion in manufacturing capacities”...

Shenanigans at First Derivatives Don’t Look Good. Sell

I doubt that there was the slightest sense of embarrassment at last week’s AIM awards (a ghastly sounding knees up for the world’s seediest stock market) when First Derivatives (FDP) picked up two gongs: Best Technology award for the company itself and Entrepreneur of the Year Award for its founder and CEO Brian Conlon. Presumably these awards were decided well before First’s price tanked amid some serious concerns being raised and the organisers, in true AIM style, were too gormless to think on their feet and give them out to a less dodgy enterprise.

At that point we noted how we could see how, on a fundamental basis, the shares are worth 100p+ looking at the numbers thrown off by the definitive feasibility study and that we may re-enter if the shares come back allowing us to buy with a margin of error.

Purplebricks & Ticking Timebombs

I might have added that shorting a name where there is a small free float is also a dangerous game. Which brings me back to Purplebricks (PURP).

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Of course you know best Neil (another bad day for Woodford), UKOG to sub 1p and Adam Reynolds NOT fired

Published 1248 days ago

I hope you enjoyed the two share tips earlier and thanks for the kind words from many of you abour our place in Greece. I start with a look at Strat Aero (AERO). I covered the dire maths earlier here but it is the sheer dishonesty of the placing that really annoys me. Then I look at more bad news for Nomates Woodford from Provident Financial (PFG) which cvould well up a zero. Then I cover UK Oil & Gas (UKOG) as its shares slide again and Arian Silver (AGQ) which is worthless. Adam Reynolds was not - as gleeful in house BB loon Wildes suggests - fired by Optibiotix (OPTI) - I explain why I remain uber bullish there. Finally today's interims from Vianet (VNET) are misleading and even after a 10% fall today the stock is a slam dunk sell.

Minoan (MIN) has been something of an AIM uber-dog for many years. It is a stock that I have tipped with success once and with lack of success more than once. Its failure to deliver on gaining planning consent on its Cave Sidero site in Crete over more than a decade is perhaps why its shares languish at 6.25-6.5p. But 2017 will be THE year.

Boy did Amryt bore its loyal shareholders, including us, to tears for most of 2016. Owning this stock, formerly a failed oil explorer Fastnet, was like watching paint dry. Amid a totally understandable ennui the shares drifted back to lows of just under 14p which - as we had tipped the shares at 18.4p and bought ourselves at higher levels - was a bit of a pain. But then in November it roared into life and the shares are now 18.5p-20.5p and are my second buy tip of the year at up to 22p.

Published 1588 days ago

You want your share tip of the year to have the potential to double or treble. You will not get that with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). Equally it is incredibly unlikely that you might lose 75% of your cash on Glaxo. Elephants do not gallop eith forwards or backwards. My third tip of the year is a stock that could lose 75% and become a cash shell. But it is also one that could easily treble and I think he odds are on the treble not the collapse. I refer to Wishbone Gold (WSBN)

London will become a safe haven for fraudsters. That is what Earley wants. This article HERE is referred to when I say how FEW companies I accuse of fraud, contrary to what the dirty little criminal Earley says.

ShareProphets Share Tips of the year 2017: No 5 Buy Swallowfield says Steve Moore

Published 1593 days ago

A recent share tip on the Nifty Fifty website at a 250p offer price, shares in developer, formulator and supplier of personal care and beauty products, Swallowfield (SWL) are already ahead to a current 270p offer price. However, this is still down from 290p reached in October - and I believe there could be much more to come and so it is my first tip of the year.

ShareProphets Share Tips of the year 2017: No 4 Buy IQE says Malcolm Stacey

Published 1594 days ago

I am quite confident in making IQE (IQE) a tip of the year. And this is despite the fact that this outfit usually appears in the list of most shorted shares, helpfully published on this spectacular website.

ShareProphets Share Tips of the year 2017: No3 Sell Wolseley says Chris Bailey

Published 1594 days ago

Best FTSE-100 short for 2017? After musing about the property stocks I chanced upon Wolseley’s (WOS) epic push towards a 50 quid share price. First congratulations to anyone who picked up shares in the plumbing and building industry supplier at the time of the Brexit referendum vote for around 36 quid. My advice though for 2017 is to sell the shares.

ShareProphets Share Tips of the year 2017: No 2 Sell Cloudtag says Tom Winnifrith

Published 1595 days ago

ShareProphets Share Tips of the year 2017: No 1 Buy Whitbread says Chris Bailey

Published 1595 days ago

If you want to buy just one new single stock in the FTSE-100 for 2017 you need to look at the perceived Brexit losers given, over the course of the next 12 months, Brexit apocalypse will move further away via delays and position dilution. Forget big overseas earners as this backdrop will crimp their translated back into Sterling earnings so it has to be more domestic plays. And filtering for market leadership, strong balance sheet and continued growth hopes I end up with Whitbread (WTB) the owner of the Costa Coffee and Premier Inn franchises.

2016 in review: our top 30 articles and Tom's ten most read non financial pieces

Published 1596 days ago

As the year draws to a close it is only natural that we look back on the past twelve months. And it has been twelve months of achievement. It is a great achievement in that our writers have continued to write exactly what they want without any editorial interference. So Cynical Bear & Gary Newman have knocked shares I own. So what? We really do support free speech. And it has been a year when we have "dealt with" more frauds and lies on the AIM casino and the main market than ever before. That really is the USP of ShareProphets.

Thoughts on the rout of the spreadbetting firms -a pair trade: buy IG sell Plus

Published 1605 days ago

The Market reaction to last Tuesday’s news that the FCA was proposing stricter rules for CFD products was predictably savage. What surprised me was that IG Group (IGG) led the way with a 40% fall whereas Plus 500 (PLUS) fell “only” 27%. Since then IG has continued to weaken ( 470p at the time of writing) whereas Plus has rallied a little (373p ditto).

Published 1618 days ago

As a climate change "denier" I have written elsewhere about how global temperatures are plunging not, as the BBC might lead you to believe, heading higher.

Today 2 PM ...TWO share tips from the "Maverick Tipster" - this is not about Donald Trump!

Published 1630 days ago

I do not know about you but I am starting to feel a bit Trumped out. And I actually wanted him to beat crooked Hillary. But the papers and TV screens are just so full of the man, what he is doing and what it means for us all. Is the Donald good for shares or bad? What about gold? Or bonds? Or house prices? Or the chances of England winning the World Cup? The truth is that no-one really knows any of the answers... except that England won't win the World Cup.

Cloudtag - Do what Bruce says and run to the hills

Any lingering doubts that may have been harboured by bears of Cloudtag (CTAG) were dispelled last week by its tacit admission that it had misled the market earlier in the year when it boated of a firm $5.2 million sale to be completed this year, which has now turned out to be a phantom as predicted.

The share tips of the year from Joanne Hart in the Mail on Sunday Midas column are interesting.

Tom Winnifrith's share tips of the year Number 5 - sell LGO Energy at 0.265p

Published 1951 days ago

This company is on the precipice. It needs to raise £5-6 million in emergency equity to keep going and everything is going against it. The best case for LGO Energy (LGO) is mega dilution from whatever is a confetti issuing machine, but an equally plausible outcome is insolvency.

Tom Winnifrith's share tips of the year Number 4 - Sell Fast Forward Innovations at 17p

Published 1953 days ago

A reader posted on our comments section: "Ive also just bought into FFWD. Tom why can't you tip this for 2016 instead of repeat tips on OPTI and NIPT?" Hmmm well I am sure that Optiobiotix shares will race ahead ( 100p + within weeks after the next deal is announced) and that Premaitha will announce new contracts and that it is passed the inflexion point of cash breakeven soon and that its shares will head to 30p+. That is why I tip them as buys. You want me to tip shares that will go up ,right? But your wish is my command and so I will also tip FastForward Innovations. But as a sell at 17p.

Malcolm Stacey's share tips of the year Number 2 - buy Royal & Sun Alliance

Published 1953 days ago

Let me confess. The main reason I choose the old Royal Insurance, Royal & Sun Alliance (RSA) as my second New Year tip is that it has a good chance of being taken over in the next twelve months.

Tom Winnifrith's share tips of the year Number 3 - Buy Reach4Entertainment at 1.5p

Published 1953 days ago

There is no doubt that Reach4Entertainment (R4E) has been a total dog of an investment for many a year. But it goes into 2016 in great shape. We have bought shares in the market at 1.4p and 1.45p. I reckon the shares are going to 3.5-4.5p within two years and as such this is my 3rd tip of the year.

Lucian Miers share tips of the year Number 1: Sell InternetQ at 61.25p, target price 0p

Robert Tyerman's share tips of the year number 2 - Buy Rio Tinto

Shares in blue-chip mining giant Rio Tinto (RIO) have not been immune from the stockmarket carnage that falling commodity prices have inflicted on the whole mining sector, though at £19.85, down from a 12-month high of £32.37, they have fared much better than many of their weaker brethren. It is my second share tip of the year for 2016.

Zak Mir's share tips of the year Number 2 - Buy Egdon Resources

Published 1956 days ago

2015 was the year when (at least for now), I had to swallow my disappointment regarding there possibly not being 1 billion barrels of oil under Gatwick airport. But it was the year when the long awaited shale gas / fracking revolution looked to be finally getting underway. While there are doubts about the possible environmental effects, poisoning aquifers, and of course the not in my back yard syndrome, the fact is that The Treasury needs the money to fund money guzzling organisations such as the NHS.

Zak Mir's share tips of the year Number 1 - Buy Bacanora Minerals

Published 1956 days ago

Firstly, as it is the season of goodwill and to celebrate the fact I managed to get to December 23^rd without buying anyone a present, Bacanora Minerals is my stock to revisit. This is partly a tribute to the late, great David Lenigas, formerly the King of Aim. His abdication from the throne last week

Gary Newman's share tips of the year Number 1 - Buy Vedanta

Published 1956 days ago

Vedanta (VED) is a company that I have been consistently wrong about over the past year or so, but which I still like! Like pretty much any resource stock its shares have been slaughtered over the past 12 months, having traded in the mid 550s at the start of the year, as opposed to the current share price in the 280p range. That means its market cap has taken a hit of in the region of £770 million.

Nigel Somerville's share tips of the year Number 1 - Sell Igas

Published 1957 days ago

Shares in AIM-listed Igas (IGAS) have been heading south for almost two years. First we had the oil price coming off sharply. Then we had the Equities First scandal involving the former CEO selling shares when the market was told he was buying. And then the oil price slid some more. In early 2014 the shares peaked at 160p and it has been downhill all the way since then. The Christmas Eve close at 18.5p values the company at £55.3 million (source: ADVFN). But there is much further to go. Here are ten reasons why.

Tom Winnifrith's share tips of the year No 1 - Buy Petropavlovsk at 6.7p offer

Published 1959 days ago

You have, by now, read my macro calls for 2016 which you may or may not have dismissed as complete mumbo jumbo but I hope they make sense. You will see that I expect the gold price to pick up during the next 12 months. Not to rocket but to improve and that makes Petropavlovsk (POG) at a 6.7p offer a very obvious first tip of the year.

There is no point in paying for share tipsters says Duck & Dive, whatever...

Published 1984 days ago

So says the sage of the ShareProphets comments section. His thesis is a) that if tipsters were any good they'd be coining it in as investors themselves and b) that they are just talking their own book. He cites the Mirror journalists the City slickers who were sent to prison for pumping and dumping.

The Best £5 you will spend this week…..new Hot share tip out 1.45PM TODAY

Some folks never make mistakes with shares. They are the heroes of the Bulletin Boards. You read their boasts all the time. So that is why they are still living in Council Houses trading parcels of £500 worth of shares. Yes they are making it all up. In the real world everyone gets it wrong some time. The hard thing is admitting it and acting on it fast.

Buy Premaitha Health at a 20p offer,  says Tom Winnifrith  

Published 2056 days ago

This was not going to be my tip in the recently published book "The Magnificent 7" which you can download for free HERE. I was set to tip Optibiotix (OPTI) at c40p. Unfortunately for you (but fortunately for me since we own shares in the company) the share price has raced ahead to a 48p offer. I still think that they could head much higher and Zak Mir reckons that Optibiotix shares will be 60p by October. I think, that is what a chartist terms a long term view.

The launch of the ShareProphet's China Filthy Forty is the kind of thing that shows why the financial press fear ShareProphets. Clear and devastating. It sums up ShareProphets as a whole. It also demands an informed readership. Your average ThisIsMoney.co.uk reader isn't going to come across a chart of 40 Chinese companies which IPO'd on AIM, shares in which are almost all underwater, and understand the relevance. This sometimes puts ShareProphets in a bind, where we seem to be wonks speaking to swotters.

Do Share Tips Affect Prices – Do they Buck Stone Abbey?!

Published 2162 days ago

Hello Sharemates. When a share bounces up fast, there is often a report on RNS saying the board knows no reason why the shares should have risen. Sometimes, it will add…’other than comments on bulletin boards’. This was the case with a little £3 million pound set-up, called Feedback (FDBK), which I highlighted this week. Before that, a message appeared from Advanced Oncotherapy (AVO) saying that the company did not know of reasons for a boost in share price after I wrote about it.

Could Chris Oil lose £7 million on New World Oil & Gas? Or more?

This morning’s RNS from New World Oil & Gas makes it abundantly clear that the takeover Panel is at least considering forcing the eccentric blogger and hit and (largely) miss share tipster known as Chris Oil to make a mandatory offer for the company and this could well set the poor fellow back a net £5.5 million or more.

Tom Winnifrith’s Easter share tips (buy) No 3 – Stanley Gibbons

Published 2222 days ago

Yes I know that it has just had a profits warning and that the old adage is that warnings come in threes. But I do not expect that to be the case with Stanley Gibbons (SGI) and so it is my third share tip for Easter at 249p.

Tom Winnifrith’s Easter share tips (buy) No 2 – Vislink at 51p

Published 2223 days ago

My second share tip for Easter is a tech stock but not one of those that has zero revenues or uses the dreaded EBITDA metric to justify its lack of real profits. This is a real company making real profits. Tip two is Vislink (VLK) at 51p.

Tom Winnifrith Easter share tips (buys) No 1 – InterQuest at 100p

Published 2223 days ago

It has been a poor six months for shareholders in Interquest (ITQ). The stock zoomed to 130p as it put itself up for sale but no offers came in at the right price so the shares tanked to 88p. That was a big over-reaction as the company is going great guns. That is why Interquest at 100p is my first Easter share tip (buy).

Malcom Stacey’s Share tips for Easter No 2 – Good Energy

Published 2223 days ago

Wind farms and solar energy are achieving a much higher profile these days. The rather beautiful white giants are springing up in windy corners everywhere. Vast banks of solar cells are beginning to spread. And even though the present government is cutting back on subsidies for solar energy suppliers, it still looks a reasonable bet.

I didn’t exactly cover myself in glory when it came to the fine details of my second suggestion in the ShareProphets Christmas tip-fest HERE , but as explained HERE I think that statements from the company were materially misleading. Happily, the basic case was pretty much unchanged in that there was – as I saw it – a decent looking return to be had with a strong margin of safety. That, even though this was a VCT investment, and therefore by most readings classified as high risk. We’ve had some good news.

Tom Winnifrith’s share tips of the year 2015, No 8 – sell Jiasen International at 42.5p

Published 2314 days ago

Anyone owning a Chinese based AIM stock is certifiably bonkers. That is especially the case if it is based in Fujian Province, a small part of the PRC which has specialised in listing frauds on AIM, the Frankfurt Exchange, the TSX and NASDAQ. The Fujian four on AIM are: Camkids (CAMK), Naibu (NBU), China Chaintek (CTEK) and Jiasen International (JSI) and for all four my ultimate target price is 0p. But I feature Jiasen today at 42.5p as a sell of the year.

Chris Bailey’s share tips for 2015 No 2 - Aviva

Published 2316 days ago

Hopefully I don’t need to elaborate on the observation that the global economy has a few problems otherwise at this stage of the economic ‘rebound’ from the dark days of 2007-9 interest rates would be going up. This warped environment favours a different sort of share and – sorry to say for any current employees who will be impacted – but Aviva’s (AV.) cost cutting heavy takeover of Friends Life (FLG) is just the sort of story that has a strong chance of working next year.

Lucian Miers share tips for 2015, No 2 – Sell Avanti Communications

Published 2317 days ago

Shares in Avanti (AVN) have managed to head higher in recent months thanks to a rumour that Facebook was about to bid. Now Facebook might just co-operate with Avanti to bring the internet to Bongo Bongo land but that will not earn Avanti a fortune and there is no way that a bid is on the way. So I am very happily short on fundamentals.

Mark Howitt’s share tips of the year No2 – GlaxoSmithKline

After some careful thought I have selected GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) as one of just two of my Prime Share Selections for 2015. Being honest, I find it difficult to pick two which really should be the best of all shares, but I am fairly confident GlaxoSmithKline will perform well in 2015.

HotStockRockets share tips of the year 2015 No 1 – Buy Minoan at 10.25p

Published 2318 days ago

Minoan (MIN) shares have taken a Christmas beating thanks to Greece where the buffoons in charge have contrived to ensure that the country faces another General election in late January. The market has over-reacted and that makes the shares at 10.25p (a market cap of £17 million) the first HotStockRockets share tip of the year 2015.

Robert Sutherland Smith’s share tips of the year 2015 No 2 – Buy Rolls Royce

Published 2318 days ago

My second choice for the traditional Christmas share consideration and selection game has the following merits. It is a share that has performed well over the long term but having underperformed the market this year. It looks attractive on a technical interpretation of the share price chart and is well supported by fundamentals on low estimated measures of value. It is of course, Rolls Royce (RR.) which I last visited in October when the shares were 800p and looking, I thought, particularly bombed out.

Tom Winnifrith’s Share Tips for 2015, No 5 – Sell Quindell, target 0p

Published 2319 days ago

Some of you may regard this as boring. There is after all, ALMOST, nothing written below that I have not written before. But I promised my top 5 shorts as part of my 10 tips of the year and Quindell (QPP) is my top short. Quite simply these shares are worthless. And so selling at 42p or whatever you can get is a sure fire 100% win. This is a “niller” at so many levels. Where do we start?

We do not tip shares very often but on Monday... That is today at 3.30 PM

Published 2320 days ago

Steve Moore and I have been cautious on shares and especially AIM shares for a year. We have not touched some sectors like oil at all. And we have been vindicated. We are value investors and thus caution is the name of the game. The skills we use in detecting frauds like Quindell are the same skills we use in unearthing value buys. But it is Christmas and we have a new share tip underway. Like the Tailor of Gloucester we are still hard at work on it as the big day approaches.

Tom Winnifrith’s Tip of the Year No 4 – Buy Optibiotix

Published 2320 days ago

But the odd macro think session establishes useful tramlines for the investment process. My first, second and third share tips for 2015 are already live and so onto Number 4.

Mark Howitt’s share tips for 2015 – No 1: HSBC

Published 2320 days ago

What first attracted me to HSBC (HSBA) as a tip of the year? The fact that I knew how cold and ruthless it could be. I have a certain amount of ‘inside information’ on this. When you look at HSBC... there is often something quite clinical about it. My sister has a bank account with HSBC... you would be hard pressed to easily find that it pays no interest at all. “This account pays no credit interest” it says in the small print. However, if she went overdrawn she’d be charged around 18% every year.

Robert Tyerman’s share tips of the year No 1 – Paragon Diamonds

Published 2320 days ago

Diamonds seem to have escaped the worst of the carnage that has afflicted other commodities, from gold to iron ore and participants in the sector, perhaps unsurprisingly, claim to see a widening of interest in the dazzling gemstones, from China to the Middle East, with a new emphasis on their potential merits as investments as well as adornments. One such enthusiast is Philip Manduca, former hedge fund pioneer, brother of the head of the Prudential insurance giant and chairman of AIM-quoted Paragon Diamonds (PRG).

Tom Winnifrith’s share tips for 2015 No 2 – sell Igas at 39.5p – target cut to 10p

Published 2322 days ago

In my macro themes for 2015 article HERE I stated that I was fundamentally bearish on equities and as such half of my ten tips of the year would be shorts. Another theme for 2015 (as it was for 2014) was an extreme aversion to oil stocks. In that vein I return to Igas (IGAS) which I first suggested shorting at 56p a month or so ago HERE but where I am now halving my target price to 10p making this my second top short for 2015.

Nigel Somerville’s 2015 share tips of the year – No 1: Scancell

Published 2322 days ago

Scancell (SCLP) is a biotech stock I’ve been keen on for some four or five years. The statistics on getting new treatments through clinical trials and regulatory approvals are terrible, so we are certainly at the high-risk end of the spectrum, but I believe the risk/reward is favourable and I like the company, management, the way it behaves (important!) and the products currently being developed. Here is why.

James Parter’s 2015 share tips of the year – No 1 – sell Solo Oil at 0.6p

Published 2322 days ago

Solo Oil (SOLO) is one of a few AIM listed oil companies where there is activity on most fronts. The hot front to the south sees Solo progress gas exploration in Tanzania. The cold front in England sees Solo progress its oil exploration at Horse Hill. All eyes are on these two beasts after resource upgrades and the share price has rocketed to 0.6p making Solo worth £30 million. But there are great reasons to think this will at least halve by 2016.

Lucian Miers share tips of the year Number 1 – Short Purecircle

I last wrote about Purecircle (PURE) in March and predicted that 2014 would be the year for the big collapse. I was wrong: the permascam that is Purecircle has remained rock solid while all around it our favourite bear trades have borne fruit. Indeed, for the price of Purecircle (£940 million) you could now buy Quindell. Gulf Keystone Petroleum, and Globo combined and still have change left for Iofina.

Tom Winnifrith’s Big 10 Macro calls for 2015

Published 2324 days ago

Tomorrow I start serving up my ten tips of the year. On reflection given my bearish take on the markets I am going to go with a 50/50 long/short split. Other writers will be serving up plenty of buy ideas but I cannot bring myself to do that given my macro-take on the world. I am sorry to be so gloomy this Christmas day but for what it is worth I wish you a Merry Christmas. Now to the macrobabble:

How to play the Oil Price Slide on AIM

Published 2332 days ago

The Oil price slide throws up some interesting opportunities on the AIM market. I have shorted a basket of five stocks on the basis that if it continues to fall or stays at these levels they will get into serious financial difficulty very rapidly. If it rallies the upside is hopefully limited by management practices that are unlikely to reward shareholders.

Bango go figure?

Published 2337 days ago

I have never understood the vagaries of how companies are valued on AIM. Select ten companies at random, have a brief trawl of their recent financials and try to guess their market caps and I defy anybody to even get close. In this spirit I had a look at Bango (BGO) the other day and, forewarned that it was a little on the expensive side, decided to aim high.

Am I the only remaining bear in Avanti?

Published 2350 days ago

One of the big market mysteries of the last couple of months has now been solved. Why has the price of Avanti Communications (AVN) being going steadily upwards despite results that appear to confirm the worst fears of the bears? Why has the astute hedge fund Ennismore been reducing its short position? Why has Avanti uber bear Mathew Earl – The Dark Destroyer - gone strangely silent as the share price has ticked relentlessly North?

So the market is nearly back to all-time highs, everything is okay?

Published 2351 days ago

Hmmmm. Lots of low grade Aim stocks are flying, the FTSE 100 is nearly at all-time highs, there is a lot of rubbish being spouted about a Santa Rally coming early and I am stuck in Greece preparing to start the olive harvest tomorrow when I should be punting rubbish on AIM making a killing.

How Many Eggs?

Published 2356 days ago

As well as choosing different sectors of the market in which to buy your shares, really prudent investors scatter their funds over a large number of companies. If you rely on just four enterprises and one collapses, then it's serious. If you have 20 share certificates with different names at the top, big losses posted by two or three companies won't send you looking for an outside ledge on a tall building. Some brokers urge their clients to buy an interest in just 10 businesses. They argue that this is a nice manageable group and that it's hard to keep track of any more.

Risk on Again. But too late to save Quindell or Naibu

Published 2378 days ago

A few weeks ago I was reflecting on the irony that September 19^th , the day of the Alibaba float on the NYSE, was likely to prove the high water mark for the Dow Jones for 2014 and possibly a good few years thereafter. (For those unfamiliar with the Alibaba fable, he was a thief)

Concha: Its Gone CRAZY 5p valued at a quid!!!!

Published 2385 days ago

Would you pay Warren Buffett one pound to manage 5 pence of your money? No? I didn’t think so. Would you pay anyone a quid to manage 5p of your cash (that’s right you break even after he or she has twenty bagged the investment) No? I think we can agree that you would be crazy to do so. No argument there.

Quindell Bulletin Board Moron of the Day: Mr Palmer LSE Board – his “obligation” is to destroy me”

Published 2397 days ago

Oh dear, The Quenron (QPP) shareholder list does contain more than its fair share of complete and utter nutters. On an almost daily basis I am alerted to a post which has been made by someone who really is truly bonkers. I was entertained to see some cretin on ADVFN discuss the “TW Red Flags” on Quenron – apparently having a strong opinion which is not buy is deemed a Red Flag. However, The Bulletin Board Moron of the Day is “Mr Palmer” on the LSE Board. On a day when another Quindell nutter who boasted on twitter of having a "hitlist" which included myself and Dan Levi has been reported to the Old Bill (not by me as I regard the Met as useless), Mr Palmer takes centre stage.

The Level & Type of Share Buybacks I see make me very worried

Published 2406 days ago

In certain circumstances share buybacks make sense. Where a company has surplus capital and cannot think of a way of earning an economic return on that capital it is absolutely right that it is returned to shareholders via buybacks. I prefer them to special dividends because one can elect to sell less or no stock or to stay on board with a bigger percentage of the equity. It is down to the individual investor. And it is right that surplus capital should be returned to the company’s owners (shareholders) not simply be hoarded by management.

Practical Tips you can Take From One Up on Wall Street Part One

So you’ll remember my ‘advice of others’ post recently HERE, If you are going to listen to advice you might as well listen to people who make a lot of money. This goes for self development too!

No sane person should touch any AIM listed China stock with a bargepole

Published 2423 days ago

The recent passing of its interim dividend by Naibu (NBU), which would have involved an outlay of £600,000 against claimed profits of £20 million and claimed net cash of £30 million has prompted accusations of fraud and skull doggery at the Chinese sports shoemaker and put the spotlight on other China frauds that might be lurking on AIM.

Do Bulletin Board Morons Ever Learn or Ever apologise – discussion with top blogger Paul Scott

Published 2427 days ago

It was only the other day that a Bulletin Board Moron owning shares in Naibu (NBU) referred to me as Winnifraud, accusing me of making it all up. Hey presto come Friday there were dire interims and t is clear that it is not me that is the Norfolk and the moron saw his investment slump in value by another 40%. Worse is to come as I shall reveal later today. But this follows the same pattern as we have seen with Range Resources, Sefton, Vialogy, Globo, Quindell, Iofina, blinkx, Gulf Keystone, Outsourcery etc. etc. Folks like myself and Paul Scott, the great share blogger, point out obvious reasons to sell and all we get is abuse. Paul posted this on ShareProphets yesterday re Naibu

Naibu Q&A throws up more Qs than As.

Published 2429 days ago

At the shambolic Naibu (NBU) AGM on June 30^th this year, a number of questions were asked of the non-execs and advisors which they were unable to answer but which they kindly agreed to pass on to the three executive directors who for some reason had not showed up. (Visa problems were cited. Yes really! All three of them)

Sell Telecity at 740p as it goes Ex Growth and ex Management.

Monitise a sell down to 10p, Twitter Moron of the Week and no It WILL NOT be different this time

Published 2442 days ago

Monitise (MONI) has announced another big name collaboration which has the Bulletin Board and twitter morons all excited. Natch there are no financials. Monitise only admits then when it says – as it does every few months – “uh, oh, another small delay in the move to profitability but do not worry revenues are going up.” My twitter moron of the week Share Tipster (@2years2go) reckons that concepts like cashflow, DCF etc are all so old hat and that I just do not get the new paradigm. Where to start.

Quindell Will Again Test Recent Lows

Published 2444 days ago

Quindell’s (QPP) Interims duly arrived last Thursday and as is so often the case with this company when it attempts to reassure the market, yet more concerns were raised. The share price has now lost all the gains in the run up to the announcement and it would not surprise me if they test the recent 140p low in pretty short order. And the ultimate target is a tiny fraction of that.

Ocado – sell into the rally

Published 2448 days ago

Shares in Ocado (OCDO) have become somewhat volatile of late. Last year this was hardly the case: the shares simply rose every day to everyone’s general bemusement and in many cases, my own included, considerable financial cost.

Jim Slater’s Two AIM share tips

Published 2454 days ago

Jim Slater, father of UK Investor Show speaker Mark, is the controversial fellow who created the PEG (Price Earnings Growth) method of investment analysis. Using PEG analysis e has today served up two AIM listed stocks he reckons as buys in today’s Daily Telegraph. One of the, as it happens, is a stock Steve Moore and I have tipped on our Nifty Fifty website.

Short Concha

Published 2456 days ago

As it is increasingly difficult to short stock in the real pond life on AIM, I tend to steer clear of looking at these companies unless some stock becomes available. I was told about Concha (CHA) a few months ago and when a bit of borrow came up the other day I had a quick look at it to see if it was really was that bad.

Amara Mining – we are well ahead on share tip but there’s more to come – Yaoure news

Published 2456 days ago

Steve and I have avoided tipping gold stocks on our Nifty Fifty website but we made an exception for Amara Mining (AMA) suggesting readers pile in at a 15.75p offer. The shares are now 23p and there was cracking news a couple of days ago. This stock is starting to hum.

Buy Prime People at a 95p offer

Published 2461 days ago

Investment Case: Noting that a large proportion of its cash looked surplus to what is needed in its ongoing business and for its current growth plans, Prime People plc (PRP) recently returned 15p per share (£1.82 million) to shareholders. This, together with an attractive ordinary dividend, shows a regard for shareholders that few other AIM-listed companies do. This is perhaps because the directors' interests are via their shareholdings to a rare extent aligned with other investors. We tipped this at a 90p offer a couple of weeks ago but at 95p to buy this is still a good share tip and here’s why.

Has the Bubble Burst and If So how to prosper?

Published 2462 days ago

A look at the chart of the Dow Jones shows that it has more or less gone up in a straight line for five and a half years. The current fall back to start of the year levels looks like no more that one of the various sub 5% blips we have had on this tremendous Bull Run.

Action Hotels - new contract: Buy ( look at asset backing)

Action Hotels (AHCG), the owner, developer and asset manager of branded economy and midscale hotels in the Middle East and Australia, has updated that “a memorandum of understanding has been signed with leading hotel operator Accor for the management of a new 160 room ‘Novotel’ hotel which will be built in the prime business district of Sharq in Kuwait City”. This is in addition to the pipeline of hotels announced at the time of IPO in December and makes the shares look cheap

Creston – 19% ahead on this share tip but far more to go for

Published 2466 days ago

Last week marketing communications group, Creston (CRE) announced that “current trading is in line with its expectations for the full year” (to 31^stMarch 2015) – with, in the three months to 30^th June 2014, like-for-like revenue 2% higher than in the corresponding 2013 period (overall revenue: +3%). That helped the shares and we are now 19% ahead on this share tip but there is more to go for.

Buy Begbies Traynor at a 53p offer

Published 2469 days ago

Investment Case: As the UK's leading independent business recovery practice, Begbies Traynor (BEG) has been unsurprisingly adversely impacted by a low interest rate environment and lenders being unable or unwilling to crystallise losses. However, the company has restructured and remains profitable and cash generative, with an attractive dividend and undemanding rating based on its current performance. There are though now also signs that things are turning in its favour - “the expectation of an increase in interest rates over the forthcoming months has escalated recently” and with it “also retain the capacity and expertise to handle an increase in activity levels should they arise, which would result in improved profitability due to the inherent operational gearing in the business”. As such, at a current 53p offer price, the shares are a buy. Here's why.

Purecircle: The Last Shoe Yet To Drop?

Published 2477 days ago

In the last two years my seven most covered bear selections have been: Gulf Keystone (GKP), Iofina (IOF), Cupid (CUP), Quindell (QPP), Globo (GBO) Avanti(AVN) and Purecircle (PURE). With the exception of Purecircle, the other six are all firm retail favourites and I often wonder what it is that draws the private punter like a flame-bound moth to such eminently shortable stocks. One can highlight various useful themes but all seem to throw up exceptions – modestly I point oiut these have all bar one (so far) been great short calls by my good self.

I do not follow Leni Gas & Oil (LGO) but I note that it got the Bulletin Boards buzzing last week. It announced a big acquisition and the next day a placing. This outraged some commentators. I think wrongly.

Buy 1Spatial (even though I am already almost 75% up)

ShareProphets Tip of the Week: Buy Restore at a 176p offer

Published 2488 days ago

Restore (RST) is a share tipped by Tom Winnifrith and Steve Moore at 30p back in 2010. They both still like it and see meaningful upside at a 176p offer.

TWO TIPS at 3PM TODAY: THREE Compelling Reasons why investors who want to make money will join the Nifty Fifty NOW

Published 2522 days ago

If someone promises you a share tipping service based on “exciting” stocks that can gain hundreds or thousands of percent, penny share whizzers or “hidden secrets” they are yanking your chain. There is no such thing as free money where the stockmarket is concerned. Sorry if this sounds boring but successful investors know that you get rich by showing patience, by analysing accounts and by listening to proven experts with all the right contacts. And this is how you start TODAY.

The Danger of Getting Too Close to Companies - ref Vatukoula and others

Published 2524 days ago

Lucian Miers says that he does not like to meet companies. He is all too aware that part of the job of a CEO is to butter up potential investors, or to persuade bears not to go short. CEO’s are paid large sums to be charming and persuasive and Lucian is concerned that they will manage to schmooze him into making a bad call. I take a different view.

Advanced Computer Software - Cracking Results

Published 2527 days ago

Advanced Computer Software (ASW) has announced results for its year ended 28^th February 2014 and flagged that “we have started the current year in line with our expectations. With double digit growth in the order book to £209m, a growing recurring revenue stream, and more customers taking our Software as a Service, we have excellent forward visibility and are increasingly confident about another strong year”. I am due to meet up with CEO Vin Murria in a couple of weeks and will report back then on the Nifty Fifty website.

Why on earth should you join successful investors at the Nifty Fifty TODAY BEFORE 11? Here’s why.

Published 2551 days ago

You probably get loads of promotions telling you about “the one share you must buy” or “how to make 100% a day with this and that trading platform or training course.” Of course it is all total rubbish. If only life were that simple? We’d all be as rich as Buffett. The truth is that investing is hard work.

Capitalism works…even in Greece

Published 2553 days ago

As you know I have been in Greece for three weeks or more. And I come away in no doubt that the economy is picking up. Athens was almost buzzing whereas last year at the same time it was distinctly un-buzzing. Out in the boonies there has been less change.

Quindell: What Does History Show Us?

Published 2554 days ago

I read somewhere recently that one should only invest in companies where it is possible to explain what they do to a six year old. This is perhaps a little unfair in the age of fast evolving technology where often the business model, let alone the product, of highly successful companies can be pretty difficult for even brainy adult analysts to get their heads around.

In defence of Negative articles ref QPP, Iofina, Globo, blinkx, Sefton, Range, etc.

Published 2554 days ago

Writing negative pieces about companies does not win you friends. In the past year I have enjoyed as a result: lawyers letters from companies, being sued for libel, shit posted to me in the post, death threats, stalking (yesterday), numerous complaints about me to the FCA, defamatory comments about me and my restaurant on the internet and now attempts to get ADVFN to stop me writing. Bollocks! What I do is right and in the interests of shareholders. I am not stopping. Nor will this website.

Bulletin Board Morons, the sentiment of grief and Gulf Keystone

Published 2601 days ago

I gather that I am not wildly popular with certain Bulletin Board Morons for my pieces yesterday on Gulf Keystone (GKP). Arguing that the shares could be worth 0p in some circumstances (HERE) or pointing out that its Bonds were now in Junk Bond territory (HERE) was always going to attract some ire. However, the tone of the comments is most instructive. We are in phase 1 of grief.

Buy Max Property at a 157.5p offer Price

Published 2641 days ago

We tipped this stock on our Nifty Fifty website last week at 155.75p to buy. We measure our performance on an offer to bid basis unlike most websites which hide their real achievements by using a mid to mid. After 14 months in operation the average Nifty Fifty tip is (with an average holding period of around seven months) ahead by 19.38% on an offer to bid basis (including dividends). For more information ahead of our next tip go here. Back to Max (MAX). It is still a buy at 157.5p – last week’s article read:

Free share tip of the week: Buy Alliance Pharma at 36.5p

Published 2946 days ago

  Alliance Pharma (APH), the speciality pharmaceutical company which acquires and licenses established products in niche areas, announced its calendar 2012 results a couple of weeks ago. The numbers contained no nasty shocks. That is no surprise, one of the great attractions of Alliance is that there is a real visibility of revenues. I tipped the shares on my premium Nifty Fifty service at 31p (offer price) in December and they now trade at 36-37p but are still a buy.

Shanta Gold – Getting There: Buy at 23p

Published 3033 days ago

It was not a good Autumn for AIM listed Shanta Gold (SHG) but the last two RNS statements from the company demonstrate that it is both soundly financed and that, at last, it is delivering operationally. The shares have always had clear latent value it is just that investors have had a number of (utterly valid) reasons for not believing. But the times they are a changing.

Published 3085 days ago

AIM listed travel leisure and property group Minoan (MIN) has not been one of my better share tips from my days at t1ps but news out this week points the way to it being, potentially, a great recovery play for 2013. At 8.375p the company is now valued at £12.6 million. That does look far too low for me and this is why.

Hibu Interims: Still a sell at 0.25p target price still 0p

I warned you here back on 25^th October that shares in hibu (HIBU) the online directories group formerly known as Yell were worthless and a stonking sell at 0.37p with a 0p target. Interim results out today do not change that analysis, indeed even the company seems to agree with me. The shares are now 0.25p.
