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.- By Malcolm Stacey |

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.- By Tom Winnifrith |

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.- By Tom Winnifrith, the Sheriff of AIM |

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.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Fulham Shore – interims “in line with management expectations”, but how creditable is that and how’s the outlook?
Previously writing on Franco Manca and The Real Greek restaurants company Fulham Shore (FUL), at the start of last month with the shares at 9.9p I concluded it will be interesting to see the next balance sheet… and the company noting “a lack of transparency for short term trading… Macroeconomic challenges… combined with input cost inflation, are presenting trading conditions that are more unstable and unpredictable than at any time in recent memory”, at this juncture I certainly continue to avoid. The shares last closed at 11.25p, but today those results and the shares are currently down to 9.5p.

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.- By Tom Winnifrith, the Sheriff of AIM |
