Five Slam Dunk Sell For 2022 – End Of October Update As Tern Heads Into Cash Crisis

My five slam-dunk sells for 2022, Tern plc (TERN), Barkby (BARK), Trafalgar Property (TRAF) and URU Metals (URU) of the AIM Casino, and sub-Standard-Listed AIQ (AIQ), were heading nicely towards a clean sweep, with four winners out of five at the end of September. As Tern heads for a desperate cash crisis within weeks, how are the scores-on-the-doors this month?

What does the reintroduction of the fracking ban mean for the UK onshore industry, and is it still worth investing in companies in this sector?

When Liz Truss became Prime Minister one of the first things she did was to reverse the moratorium on fracking in England, and now just a short while later we have seen another U-turn by the Conservatives, with Rishi Sunak reintroducing that ban.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Malcolm is wrong, wrong, wrong today

Comrade Malcolm Stacey is yakking on about buying green shite shares again today. I explain why he is wrong at four levels to do so. I reference an article I wrote today HERE on floods in Pakistan and a few years ago on droughts in Zim South, specifically Cape Town. On Global warming do not acccept what the MSM, especially Malcolm's pals at the BBC tell you, drill down to the core facts... Today's episode shows again that there is no "house view" on this website

The View From The Montana Log-Cabin As Gold Still Goes Nowhere But A Red Fed Warning Light Flashes

Gold finished this week at $1646 per oz, marginally down on last week’s $1658 and almost back to the $1645 of the week before. Gold is going nowhere fast, although the Gold mining ETFs I have been keeping an eye on are still gaining modest strength, as can be seen from the chart below (courtesy of ADVFN).

JLP

Jubilee Metals – full-year results, expansion projects production now to ramp-up

Jubilee Metals (JLP) has announced results for its year ended 30th June 2022 and that in South Africa new enlarged (+45%) PGM and chrome operations have set the platform to deliver 44,000 PGM ounces and 1.2 million tonnes of chrome concentrate per annum from its own capacity and in Zambia that it is targeting first half of the year copper of 3,000 tonnes.

ITM Power, the best time to kick a man is when he is down

A couple of years ago I did a podcast suggesting that the share price of ITM Power (ITM) was truly bonkers.  In the mad rush to buy “green” investments it then got a bit more "truly bonkers". That is the problem with bubbles, they can just keep on expanding far longer than most folks think, defying all logic.  And green energy clearly is a bubble.

As We Spiral to our Doom, this Jolly Green Venture could Boost its Fallen Share Price.

Hello Share Tasters. Did you watch TV news this week? Climate change, says the UN, must be taken more seriously otherwise the planet is ‘doomed.’ Not just inconvenienced, gang, but doomed. This year’s tragic changes to the weather show how awful the prospect is. We absolutely must migrate to clean forms of power. So let’s look at a company at the forefront of change, but with a share price that has fallen a lot in the last year or so.

Likewise – having less than five weeks ago stated “the group is well placed”… now a profit warning!

UK floor coverings distribution group Likewise (LIKE) commences a trading update with that it “is pleased that its ongoing investment in sales representatives, point of sale and logistics infrastructure, has resulted in sales revenue continuing to progressively increase month on month. Revenue growth in Q3 of 23% organic and 96% total growth exceeded the performance achieved in Q2, with full year revenues expected to slightly exceed current market expectations”. That sounds good, so what of a current share price response down over 16.5% towards 15p?

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: ouzo for me as the shysters at Bidstack fess up after my scoop but Parsley Box shares up 150%, WTF?

In today's podcast I cover Bidstack (BIDS) where after today's disingeneous 'fess up folks are delusional. Then I look at Parsley Box (MEAL), Vast Resources (VAST), Canadian Overseas (COPL) and Argo Blockchain (ARB)

DCTA

Directa Plus – “first commercial contract in Latin America”, again ramptastic?

Describing itself as “a leading producer and supplier of graphene nanoplatelets based products for use in consumer and industrial markets”, Directa Plus (DCTA) emphasises a “first commercial contract in Latin America” and the shares have currently responded up to 89.5p.

Amaroq Minerals – a Buy with significant upcoming catalysts

Previously delayed production and a recent discounted placing are not typically good starting places for a value opportunity. However, in this case, the material fundraise at only a tiny discount in the current extremely challenging stock market conditions and the production it is set to enable with the on-the-ground progress that has been made, suggests a compelling opportunity from a current 37p offer price, prospective £97.3 million market cap.

Are you going to book an International Consolidated Airlines Group SA (aka British Airways) flight over the next year or not?

International Consolidated Airlines Group SA (IAG) aka the stock you and I used to call British Airways, saved my backside a few months ago.  To be precise, I am sure the Gibraltar tourist board and/or a Spanish train company would have preferred me to be stuck thankis to Easyjet (EZJ) - with my eldest daughter - in the British Overseas Territory and a city located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, but IAG / BA stepped up in a timely (although slightly expensive) manner.  So, I have become a bit more of a fan (albeit that I do not currently own any shares in the company), which brings me to its third quarter numbers published earlier today…

Tern – Device Authority fund raise: a maths lesson for morons

Sub scale investment company Tern (TERN) has announced that it has invested a fresh $303,000 in loan notes issued by Device Authority, its largest single investment where it has a stake of 53.8%, Two matters of grave concern should leap out at you.

VAST

Vast Resources – less than 2 working days away from suspension or is a deeply discounted placing underway?

Last year Vast Resources (VAST) had to complete an emergency and deeply discounted fund raise in October as without it the auditors argued the company was insolvent and so refused to sign off on the books. Even post placing they flagged up a material uncertainty. So what of 2022?

Younger readers than myself may have to do a google on the track from the Little River Band but the reference today is Eurasia Mining (EUA) as we have yet another anniversary in the great bid spoof. This matters as Eurasia rapidly runs out of cash. This is a one year anniversary. To recap:
