BBY

Despite the Slump, Construction Projects are Still Supported by Whitehall and this Galloping Giant could Reap the Benefit

Hello Share Followers. Among the few jumbo companies I have confidence in suggesting to you in these stormy days, is Balfour Beatty (BBY). Unusually, for any firm, revenue for the full year is expected to be better than last time round. Only by another 5% from £8.3 billion. But that’s pretty good for 2022.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Posties are greedy bastards and their company will go bust, its just a matter of when

Not quite as greedy as the Nurses. But do you know what the average screw of a postie is? I discuss that and why Royal Mail Group (RMG) is doomed and its equity must eventually go to zero. Then I discuss transparency ref Red Rock (RRR), nanosynth (NN) and others.

Tintra – was the recent death spiral really issued by Bergen Asset Management?

Dubious quality companies on the AIM and Standard List have long used Death Spiral funding to raise cash to keep the lights on.  It appears that now that some but not all of the Bulletin Board morons have cottoned onto the main names in the Death Spiral space that the latest twist is for the Death Spiral Lender to use a front entity to provide the money and for it to be given a industry relevant moniker to reassure the more gullible investors that the new funding is coming a long term institutional investor and not a wicked Death Spiral lender that will crater the share price.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast - The £250m Dev Clever scandal everyone wants to ignore

This is a quarter of a billion up in smoke. Real money. So many Red Flags. So many guilty parties ( named here), so many crimes bit nobody seems to care. I do. I predicted this but the failings of so many and the huge losses many will suffer gives me no pleasure.

SkinBioTherapeutics – no-one watching o’clock results and equity raise, what’s the outlook from here?

SkinBioTherapeutics (SBTX) has announced no-one watching o’clock (4:30pm) results for its year ended 30th June 2022, with CEO Stuart Ashman stating “this financial year has been a mixed one for the group”. With the results coming with a potentially £3.5 million equity raise (albeit including an up to £1 million “retail offer”) at 16p per share, we’ve got some other words for it but where does this all leave the company now?

We've Been Expecting You (to Rise) Mr Bond

Hello Share Dancers. Recently, this old punter has advised against buying most shares. I’m still in cash, but I’m seriously considering dipping my toe back in. But only in a few selected areas. Here’s where I believe sensible investments might be made now.
CMH

Chamberlin – “Corporate Update”, attempted ramptastic?

Castings and engineering company Chamberlin (CMH) has issued a “Corporate Update” including emphasising “Russell Ductile Castings returns best ever monthly performance, exceeding £1 million monthly revenue for the first time, in November 2022. Investment in new plant and equipment at RDC now complete” and “Group defined benefit pension scheme now in a surplus position”. Sounds good, so what of a currently up to 3.95p share price?
BOWL

Hollywood Bowl – emphasises “excellent” full-year, can it continue the progress?

The UK's largest ten-pin bowling operator Hollywood Bowl (BOWL) has announced results for its year ended 30th September 2022 emphasising “delighted with our excellent performance and record revenue” and “a strong start to the new financial year”. So what of a current up to 237p share price?

BREAKING - GOTCHA! Dev Clever - A £250 million UK tech blow up: delisting, lies and looks to be bankrupt

I have always warned folks about this company, even before its shares were suspended at 30p last Christmas Eve, giving it a £250 milllion market cap. Others ramped away or took vast fees (bucket shop adviser Novum and PR Chris Lane at Buchanan) step forward. But this was always a failing business drowning in red flags. Today it 'fessed. Well sort of. It also lied.
ASLR

What do you reckon Cliff Weight, is Asimilar the most blatant insider dealing of the year?

The last stated NAV of Asimilar (ASLR ) was 25p per share. We knew it had taken one hit (AAA) but still the NAV should have been c20p (ho ho ho). On Wednesday its shares plunged by 32% to sub 4p begging me to ask this question.
