Amaroq Minerals (AMRQ) has announced what it describes as “a significant new Ni-Cu discovery” at the Stendalen project and also that this result of its geological hypothesis “greatly increases the potential for discovering further strategic metal deposits across other identified targets”. This sounds like further very good news and the shares are now up to above 80p.

How's this for a Possible Recovery Play? A Well-Known Financial Guru whose Share Price Has Suffered.

Hello Share Shufflers. A company that’s been having a hard time with its share price may be due a recovery, I fancy. Wealth management guru St James's Place (STJ) has suffered a big share drop of around 60% during the last 12 months. But it’s now improving things and it’s possible a recovery may happen soon.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: fraud or just big red flags?

In today's Bearcast I discuss St David's Day celebrations and how I was robbed with my Bara Brith here in Wales, the person from Porlock and my video with Optibiotix (OPTI), Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX), Investment Evolution (IEC) and hopeless regulators, Vast Resources (VAST), Bidstack (BIDS), Orchard Funding (ORCH), FD Technologies (FDP), Avacta (AVCT), Petrofac (PFC), Harland & Wolff (HARL) and my trip tomorrow to see daughter 2 win her Cambridge Blue

Sondrel – bailout funding discussions “now at a very advanced stage”, though they need to be more than that very soon…

Semiconductor company Sondrel (SND) has announced that discussions for it to be provided with a £0.9 million convertible loan note “are now at a very advanced stage”. What of this and the further details of it from a most recent close 9.75p share price?

The Fat Lady sings the ShareProphets National Anthem in Jockland: more Metaxa for the Sheriff

I warned folks time and time again that Scotgold (SGZ) would end in tears. The fundamental problem I identified early on was that its thin vein gold mine at Coninish was just a piss poor asset. That meant Scotgold kept on running out of cash and so to get placings away it both appealed to the sort of petty and sentimental Nationalism that is rife in the land of the deep-fried mars bar but also engaged in promotional activity that was a disgrace.

Direct Line and the Ageas bid: you have got it wrong says a reader

A kind reader who offers generous praise for some of my work thinks that my bearcast comments about the potential cash and shares bid by Ageas for Direct Line (DLG) are unduly bearish. As I am the first to admit my ignorance of the world of insurance, I publish the reader’s bull case below.

Canadian Overseas: death postponed is still death and the guy with the scythe arrives next week

Yesterday Canadian Overseas Petroleum (COPL) announced that its senior debt providers, which were due to pull the plug on 29 February had agreed not to pull the plug until March 8. Natch the shares rallied. It is like the guy on death row given a temporary stay of execution while Joe Biden considers a plea for clemency. A week later Joe will not remember what he was considering and the poor chap will be tied down on the gurney anyway.

FD technologies: a warning and a breakup, from £1.2bn to £247m, more VINDICATION ouzo for the Sheriff

Shares in First Derivatives (FDP) were £46 when I first flagged up what a cracking £1.2 billion short it was back in June 2018, then alerting you, in a series of articles and joined in battle by Matt Earl, the Dark Destroyer, to numerous red flags. Journalist smearing mother fuckers FTI Consulting warned me I might face legal action for a series of exposes, brokers Investec and Liberum and institutional investors said they knew better than the failed fund manager. Today, the renamed FD Technologies, has issued yet another profits warning and news of a corporate break up and the shares are just 909p. Perhaps FTI, Investec or any of the other cheerleaders would care to send a case of Metaxa to the Sheriff by way of an apology? First the warning.

RWS Holdings – AGM trading update, recovery income and growth BUY

Language, content and intellectual property services company RWS Holdings (RWS) has issued an AGM update including emphasising that “client retention and satisfaction remain high, our growth initiatives are contributing incremental revenue and we continue to make progress with transforming the group into a scalable platform”. How good is the news from a current heading towards 220p share price, £812 million market capitalisation?

More bad news dressed up as good from Horizonte Minerals, a one way trip to the glue factory surely beckons

After the most recent shocker on cost overruns, I cannot understand why anyone with even half a brain cell would still be holding shares in Horizonte Minerals (HZM). Today there is more bad news dressed up as good.

Jubilee Metals – interims, an exciting expansion and recovery potential Buy

Jubilee Metals (JLP) has announced its results for its half-year ended 31st December 2023 and that an upgrade project is set to significantly increase copper production during the current half year period. So good news from a recently down towards 5p share price?

EnSilica – receives payment for 2023 R&D tax credit, why an amount that dare not speak its name?

Semiconductor circuits company EnSilica (ENSI) has issued a “Receipt of R&D tax credit” announcement, stating that it “is pleased to advise that it has now received payment for the 2023 R&D tax credit that was referred to in the company's interims results”. So what of a currently down to 69p share price?

Supply@Me Capital – revenue, profits and TAG cash funding promised tomorrow with loads of jam

In today’s long-winded business, trading and funding update Supply@ME Capital (SYME) gave its usual dog ate my homework excuses about why deals hadn’t yet completed and promises of jam tomorrow but crucially had to fess up that it was still owed £1.766 million by Alessandro Zamboni’s the AvantGarde Group (TAG). But it seems to have pleased the chatroom gerbils.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: What a good Welshman like Steve O'Hara will be doing on St David's Day tomorrow

The answer starts the podcast as I also discuss what Joshua and I have planned. Then it is on to Avacta (AVCT), Hemogenyx (HEMO) and stockmarket morality, Tek Capital (TEK), BSF Enterprises (BSFA), Blackbird (BIRD), Tintra (TNT) and finally Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) where, I sense, Stuart Ashman and his greedy and overpaid FD are on the way out.

Shanta Gold – late “adjournment” of Meetings to approve offer, why not providing what the shareholders “feedback” was?

On 20th December Shanta Gold (SHG) was “pleased to announce” agreement of a 13.5p per share cash offer, arguing “it provides an exit opportunity in cash for all shareholders taking into account the current gold price as well as the operational and other risks inherent in the business” and, subsequently, to approve it, there was a Court Meeting scheduled for 1pm, and General Meeting for 1:15pm, today. Instead though today there was a 7am “Adjournment of Court Meeting and General Meeting” announcement, stated to be “following feedback received from Shanta shareholders in connection with the Scheme”. So what’s going on?

Iconic Labs, after the insider dealing: do the maths!

Yesterday the share price of Iconic labs (ICON) surged by almost 100% at one point. Of course there is never any insider dealing in the City of London where the streets are paved with gold and where everybody is a scholar and a gentleman. Today the shares have been suspended as the FCA forced the company to ‘fess that it was in early stage talks about an RTO. Now do the maths.

Facilities by ADF – argues a “strong financial performance”. Is it though and what of the forecasts downgrades that dare not speak their name?

Production facilities for the UK film and television industry company Facilities by ADF (ADF) commences a full-year trading update announcement with that it “delivered another strong financial performance in FY23 with revenue expected to be £34.8m (FY22 £31.4m) and adjusted EBITDA of £7.3m (FY22 £7.9m)(1) and an adjusted profit after tax of £1.1m (FY22 £4.8m)”. Hmmm, is that really a “strong financial performance” then?

Hemogenyx placing makes me remember what bastards these chaps are

Shares in Hemogenyx Pharmaceuticals (HEMO) already trade below the 2p price of a £3.325 million placing announced this morning. That is a bad sign. The placing makes me remember my first encounter with the company on 26 February 2018. That made me view the company as scammers and my view is not changed. Eventually folks will tire of this worthless shitshow.
