Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: 10 stocks to go to zero by my birthday? Verditek is certainly on the list
I will do that as a bonus bearcast at some point this week. But as a teaser Verditek (VDTK) is on the list and I explain why. My Birthday is in January BTW. I cover Cineworld (CINE), ADM Energy (ADME), Technology Minerals (TM1) and Lyin' Chris Cleverly and the CEO chap who dressed as a "good" Nazi. I also go through the numerous rad flags at Alien Metals (UFO) which makes it a dog with fleas at any price.

Malvern International – “trading update”, is it still positive about the outlook?
Learning and skills development programmes company Malvern International (MLVN) states that it “is pleased to provide a trading update ahead of the General Meeting”. The market is not so pleased, marking the shares down by more than 10% to around 0.09p – so what’s going on?

Alien Metals – More fun and games with Windfield: which dozy feck of a Nomad let this through at this MINUS 99.44% dog?
The other day I suggested that AIM needed to introduce a Lenigas law whereby if a known associate of a company director sold his asset to that company he needed to declare how much he paid for it. Lenigas has punted on 2 assets on an undisclosed mark up to his pal Richard Poulden at Wishbone Gold (WSBN) where, for reasons I find it increasingly hard to justify, I am a shareholder. But Alien Metals (UFO) is another can of worms. And guess which penny share huckster pushes this one.?

Bonhill – another trading warning, just how “strong” is the formal sale process level of interest?
Previously writing on B2B media group Bonhill (BONH), last month with the shares down towards 4p I concluded that the strategic review including formal sale process looks driven by financial weakness. The shares last closed at 3.75p and are currently down to around 3.25p, a circa £4 million market cap, on the back of a “Trading Statement & Update on Formal Sale Process” announcement, so what’s the latest?

Whilst I wait for Dame Emma and her GSK plc conference call, thoughts on the continued Aston Martin Lagonda comedy and Next plc commonsense
I always analytically like the pharmaceutical sector, even if I am not enough of a sector geek to be a massive expert. It is getting close to two years since I bought GSK plc (GSK) shares for the first time in a couple of decades. It gave a solid Q3 set of numbers earlier today, talking about “2022 Guidance raised…(as it) expect to deliver growth in sales of between 8%-10% CER and growth in 2022 adjusted operating profit of between 15%-17% CER". It is always better to raise numbers than not, but that does not mean that the management, led by the extremely well remunerated Dame Emma, does not still have a bunch of questions to answer.

Accsys Technologies – “pleased to announce”…a stop to current Tricoya site activity?
Previously writing on sustainable wood company Accsys Technologies (AXS), in September with the shares at 78p I concluded that the latest update suggests operational and financial troubles remain and I certainly currently avoided. So what of now an “Update on Tricoya - Consortium restructure”-titled announcement?

Back from the dead Iconic Labs – relisting soon?
Iconic (ICON) is looking to be the corporate equivalent of Lazarus. Administrators were appointed on 4 June 2021 and its shares were suspended on 7 June 2021 but incredibly there are now signs of life. At 4.50 pm on 1 November 2022, Iconic issued the following text in a RNS titled “EHGOSF Subscribes to a £150,000 Second Tranche Under £3 Million Financing Facility”:

Emerging Markets Have Fallen Significantly and this Feisty Funds Group Would Benefit from a Rally
Hello Share Smashers. One way of prizing out a bit more protection against disaster in these dodgy times is to put some of your dough into a trust which you respect. It’s rather like getting a second opinion. One of my favourite such businesses is City of London Investment Group (CLIG), which specialises in emerging markets.

BREAKING: Here is the actual Cineworld court judgement
Here it is in full. And to think some morons (who almost certainly have not read the court document below at all) think judgement yesterday is good news for Cineworld (CINE). As you can see, everything is up for sale and there is a strict six week timetable. At that point there will be sod all left for shareholders so it is a zero by Christmas. Enjoy.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Insanity at Ocado while the curse of loathsome ex Tory MP Tony Baldry strikes again
In today's podcast I look at Cineworld (CINE), Ocado (OCDO), Versarien (VRS), Rosslyn Data (RDT) - going right back to its fraudulent prospectus c.o Cenkos - and Westminster Group (WSG) where the curse of Baldry of the fraud 3DM infamy strikes yet again. Talking of vile Tory MPs, I mention Matt Hancock at the end. At least with Baldry his fingers were only in the pork barrel.

Canadian Overseas – it is what it does not say that should scare shareholders witless
The ability of Arthur Millholland to destroy shareholder value while living the life himself is well documented over many, many years at different companies and has already played out as expected at Canadian Overseas Petroleum (COPL). What is NOT stated in today’s trading statement suggests things are going to get much worse. What is said is a desperate ramp to help with the ongoing death spiral conversion.

Fulham Shore – still “in line with management expectations”…but for how long?
Previously writing on Franco Manca and The Real Greek restaurants company Fulham Shore (FUL), just over two months ago with the shares at 11.25p I noted “trading is resilient”, but what is to come? – concluding to avoid. The shares are currently 9.9p, but that is slightly up on the back of a “Business Development & Trading Update” – so what’s happening now?

Cineworld DISGRACE – shares up 220%, short the f*ck out of it and thank the FCA for being so utterly useless
There has been news but no RNS. So for 24 hours there has been a false market in Cineworld (CINE) with morons now buying the shares at c8p or higher. They are misunderstanding what has gone on in a void as Cineworld has issued no RNS statement. This is a regulatory disgrace, which again shames the FCA, but take advantage of it and short the feck out of the shares.

Seplat Energy is often overlooked but offers value for oil bulls, especially if the Mobil deal completes - buy
Nigeria isn’t my first choice of location when looking at investing in oil and gas companies due to some of the issues that foreign investors have had over the years, but if you’re bullish on the sector, then I can currently see value in shares in Seplat Energy (SEPL).

Bowleven – Full Year Results Not Such Good News. Mea Culpa.
AIM-listed Bowleven (BLVN) released its full year results to June 2022 this morning and the news was not great. TW note, be honest it was piss poor. The cash is running low – noted in a material uncertainty warning regarding Going Concern and progress on the Etinde gas project off Cameroon – its one part-owned asset – has ground to a halt. Things are set to change, but there are plenty of problems.

Rentokil Initial – good news that I still haven’t required its pest-control services (and I am still not buying the shares either)
About six months ago I observed that Rentokil Initial (RTO), founded in 1925 as a pest-control business, was “almost perfectly in the middle of the 450-600p range over the last year”. And that it “need to be a bit cheaper to have another look…if you own the stock, then you have probably held it for ages and are very happy to do so, but there is no need to chase this one if you do not”. A bit like the FTSE 100, there has been just a bit of volatility since then but now we are kicking around a similar share price. Is there any need to change my thoughts from back in April, or not?

Osirium Technologies – ramptastic trading update, we to just forget about liabilities then?
Previously writing on cybersecurity and IT automation software company Osirium Technologies (OSI) I concluded to still avoid / sell. Today it has issued a “Q3 2022 trading update” and the shares have currently more than doubled on the day to 5.75p, so a mea culpa from me or not?

VINDICATED AGAIN: Made.com – it is over now: Administrators appointed
While the brokers told you to fill your boots with shares in Made.com (MADE) after its £775 million IPO last June, I warned you again and again that this would end badly, as you can see HERE. Made featured prominently in my 2022 ShareStock presentation. This company never had one profitable year in its 12 year existence and now as it calls in the administrators, shareholders have lost everything and the recriminations begin, led by establishment knobhead Brent Hoberman who founded this crock.
