The View From The Montana Log-Cabin As Gold Again Challenges $1800

Gold finished the week at $1798 – exactly where it was last week. However, story in between times was that it dropped to around $1770 before pushing back up towards the $1800 mark. Jordan Roy-Byrne, of TheDailyGold.com seems now convinced the bottom is in on Gold’s correction since the heady days 16 months ago at the height of Covid. Now all we wait for is for precious metals to decouple from the general stock market as recession and debt worries bite.

Flowtech Fluidpower – again a Buy?

Fluid power products business Flowtech Fluidpower (FLO) is a company we have successfully covered on this website before – banking a less than six months 39.5% offer to bid gain last year at a 117.5p bid price, though also noting then that on continuing strong trading recovery delivery there is likely some further upside. The shares went on to reach 150p and this year’s half-year numbers showed further positive trading recovery… but the shares are currently available at a 109.5p offer price. We therefore now ride again, targeting a return to 140p+ as trading delivery is further proven and market sentiment improves from here.

Tharisa – full-year results, valuation remains highly attractive

Tharisa (THS) has announced results for its year ended 30th September 2022 and that “the long-life Karo platinum project, when added to the 60+year LOM of the Tharisa PGM and chrome operations in South Africa, sets the foundation for Tharisa's growth”.

Strike a Light! Shares could Suffer Even More as Blighty Becomes a Third World Country.

Hello Share Managers. There’s less than a fortnight to your cool yule. But there’s still time for a Santa rally. Except that there won’t be one this year. I can hardly believe I’m saying this but there isn't a bullish thought in my old body at present. Here’s why.

Procook – told y’all another warning, an extra ouzo for the Sheriff of AIM tonight!

I explicitly warned you to dodge the Procook (PROC) IPO at 145p on November12 last year. Since then there have been a catalogue of profits warnings and today, just 40 days after the last trading statement there is another savage warning. It will not be the last and the shares, at just 28p, are for morons and financial masochists only.

Is it trying the attempted ‘no-one watching o’clock’ release trick already?!

Under the Facility Inspirit will be initially drawing down US$80,000 (approximately £65,624)” It contained the standard lie that AIM and Standard Listed dogs regularly trot out when raising funds to pay for ongoing losses namely “the proceeds of the advance are for general working capital.”

I'm not a fan of Coro Energy or its management, but if there is any truth in the rumours about assets in Baluchistan it has speculative potential

Looking at the assets which are held by Coro Energy (CORO) and the involvement of James Parsons as executive chairman, it would be easy to quickly dismiss it and move onto something in the oil and gas sector with more potential.

In September I noted group describing itself as a “disruptive and inclusive digital womenswear fashion brand”, In The Style (ITS) argued “significant progress against several of the strategic priorities” but I questioned what about the still diminishing cash though?!. That was with the shares at circa 26.5p, so what of a now 13.625p share price after further announcements today?
