Disgraced Alexander David brought down by Appointed Representatives: FCA now puts firm into deep freeze
If the FCA was not so bloody useless it would have closed down Alexander David Securities Limited (ADSL) for acting for overt frauds such as US Oil & Gas (USOP), helping them to con investors and raise money which they will never see again. But no.. the FCA waited to act until June 29 2020 and it was not ADSL’s own crimes that landed it in the soup.

E Energy – after a second warning when’s the bailout placing?
Some of those who know him say that Eenergy (EAAS) CEO Harvey Sinclair is arrogant and unpleasant. After the second profits warning of 2022 I supect that he is a bit less arrogant but as he ponders a looming funding crisis, probably more unpleasant. Advisers to this green energy play might be asking how I can suggest that there have been two warnings and why a bailout placing is almost inevitable. Here goes.

Seraphine – having listed less than a year ago, is ANOTHER profit warning really ‘demonstrating strong business model fundamentals’!?
Previously writing on maternity and nursing wear group Seraphine (BUMP), in February with the shares down towards 70p I noted having listed little more than 7 months ago… a lack-of-profits warning AGAIN! concluding that the deteriorating balance sheet and track record since listing meant it remains Bargepole. Now a “Year End Trading Update”...

Despite today’s rising share price, my view is keep avoiding shares in Trainline
It is no surprise to see Mondi (MNDI) shares up over 6% today after its positive trading update out after the close yesterday. I am a bit of a fan of both Mondi and its rough peer DS Smith (SMDS) as mentioned about both of them back in March, but a FTSE 350 name I’ve not been a fan of is Trainline (TRN). So why has its full year numbers today pushed the shares up by nearly 5%?

Hello Share Sorters. This old punter has suggested before you look at a mining umbrella outfit called Trident Royalties (TRR). This support has just been bolstered by an encouraging ‘activity report’ for the first quarter of the year.

Brexit Bad Boy Arron Banks is such an Iofina tease
Having previously attempted regime change at Iofina (IOF), the self style Brexit bad boy Arron Banks cannot be considered a passive shareholder. And hence this tweet from him yesterday has seen Iofina shares nudge higher. Arron you are such a tease. But doesn't flagging up that you are up to something make you a bit of an AIM bad boy?

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: BP "record profits" a $23 bn loss & windfall tax economic illiteracy
I start on BP (BP.) and the crap talked about record profits, its actuall losses and a windfall tax. Then I look at the Love Hemp (LIFE) scandal and who should go to jail.Then at madness at Vast Resources (VAST) and McColls (MCLS) and at why I cannot recommend a purchase in Minoan (MIN) and have not for a long time but will not stick the knife into a man who helped save my life. I look at why some Open Orphan (ORPH) shareholders should sue iii.co.uk. Finally I have a look at Boohoo (BOO). PS I will mention my new share purchases tomorrow if I can sort out a bit of paperwork. And PPS Thanks to the new donors to Rogue Bloggers for Woodlarks.we are now at 11% of target ( £5,582) but still98% of listeners have yet to donate. I am sure you can afford a fiver or a tenner, please give now HERE.

More challenges at Joules Group
Whilst Aston Martin Lagonda (AML) shareholders may be pleased that their shares are up over 6% today, it still remains a comedy investment. I am sure the cars are very nice but despite all the chat about 2022 guidance maintained and a “successfully launched DBX707 ahead of Q2 deliveries”, the reality is still centred on losses and higher net debt levels. It remains a car company controlled largely by the rich for the rich. Despite the wealth of its Chairman and the 92% share price fall since its most recent IPO in 2018, it remains an avoid for me (at many levels). So if fast and flashy cars are not really my thing, what about the “premium lifestyle brand and group with an authentic heritage and values of family, fun and joy in the countryside” offering of Joules Group (JOUL)?.

Luceco – states results challenges “previously highlighted”. Were they?...
Manufacturer and distributor of wiring accessories, EV chargers, LED lighting and portable power products, Luceco (LUCE) has announced “Q1 2022 revenue was 3% lower than Q1 2021”, though states that is with it having “previously highlighted the challenge of repeating 2021's record results, which delivered adjusted operating profit more than double pre-COVID 2019 levels, including a particularly strong H1 2021 performance”. So why a current share price response to around 145p, more than 25% lower?!...

Argo Blockchain takes on junk bond debt but at least it is not dilutive. But it could be!
Of course CEO Peter Wall (who dumped shares at 243p a year ago AFTER starting sounding out folks about a 200p per share placing) insists that this debt is not dilutive. Really?

Cineworld – another sign of the financial crisis engulfing it: target price buttons
The Mrs is threatening to take me on a hot date to see Downton Abbey at our local Cineworld (CINE). With a seventeen month old baby, any date will do. Even that one. But will even our custom be enough to save Cineworld’s shareholders from losing almost everything? Er…no. There is more bad news today, signs that Cineworld really is scrabbling round at the back of the sofa for any loose change.

Footsie Jumbo that Thinks Inside the Box could See its Shares Shine
Hello Share Catchers. Like me, you’re probably fed up with the amount of over-packaging that still goes on. Look at those silly Easter eggs we’ve recently scoffed. But we still need some packaging. And D S Smith (SMDS) is a company that’s big in cardboard boxes, cartons and paper, both of which are recycled. Furthermore, it’s on a mission to reduce plastic packaging and carbon footprints. This Footsie member has so far replaced over 170 million items of single-use plastic from its customers’ supply chains with recyclable alternatives.
