AIM-listed Covid-19 uber ramp POS Catenae Innovation (CTEA) seems to have been forced to issue a warning RNS to its deluded loyal band of shareholders. We warned you here on ShareProphets that the last placing, done with the help of a spoof plan to get a Covid-19 tracking system going, would not be enough to last the company beyond the end of June. Now the company has warned that it is in discussion with its broker in relation to a fundraise at “a significant discount” to the current share price. Time for a glass of ouzo, methinks…..

B.P. Marsh & Partners (BPM) has announced results for it year ended 31^st January 2020, including “we are pleased to be able to deliver a dividend at this time”, noting “at this juncture Covid-19 appears unlikely to negatively influence the portfolio as a whole in a material fashion”...

Hello Share Keepers. As wise Shareprophets contributor Periotlunaire rightly observes: trading shares in Avacta Group (AVCT) is a poker game. While Uncle Tom says we should sell this small medical pioneer because the company is grossly overvalued and the current share price won’t last much longer...

I start with a few thoughts on a local statue that looks set to be melted down but commend my piece earlier on Thomas Guy in the same vein. I bring you the good news that No Gold is alive then discuss Intu (INTU), Frontera Resources (FRR), Avacta (AVCT), the merger of Bahamas Petroleum (BPC) and Columbus Energy (CERP) and Anglo African Oil & Gas (AAOG). Finally we are now almost at £40,000 on Woodlarks (with gift aid). If every bearcast listener yet top donate chipped in £10 plus gift aid tonight we would hit target. Please, please do so HERE. 

Having been trying to emphasise “positive trends… namely encouraging levels of trade across the company's webstores in both the UK and international markets”, now from Angling Direct (ANG) a “delighted with the strong support… raised gross proceeds of £5.50 million through a placing”...

Previously updating on Kazakhstan-focused gold company Altyn (ALTN) last month with the shares rising above 1p, we noted emphasises “significant production increase”, still a buy. Now from the company a “Production and financing update” – and the shares currently up to 1.60p on the back of it...

Oil, gas and renewable energy industries support vessels provider Gulf Marine Services (GMS) yesterday announced a new debt structure which it argued provides it with a “secure platform to sustain recovery”. Now a requisition of a General Meeting from Seafox International!...

The judgement which I publish in full below from the International Arbitration Court is damning. For those, such as scumbag PR advisers Yellow Jersey, the whore blogger Malcolm Graham Wood and Nomad Cairn which, for years, helped the, formerly AIM listed,  FRAUD Frontera Resources (FRR) to raise millions of pounds from mug punters, it is document demonstrating their wholesale moral bankruptcy. Those involved continued to push the shares even AFTER I had shown the company to be a fraud run by liars.

AIM-listed Turkish gold-producer Ariana Resources (AAU) has announced an updated JORC resource at the Tavsan project, owned by its 50-50 Joint Venture with Proccea, which is up by 50% on the previous estimate and 77% of it is now in the Measured and Indicated category. Good news – and the shares have responded accordingly.

And there you were thinking that I exposed Frontera Resources (FRR) as a fraud becuase it was er... a fraud. Au contraire, this was indeed a Great British Company brought down as  part of a global conspiracy and I wrote what I wrote only because i was in the pay of the Russians. Comrades, I guess its vodka o'clock, as i tuck into a lunch of caviar supplied by my friends at the KGB....the things you learn on the LSE Bulletin Board.

Churchill China (CHH) has updated including “we are now beginning to see the first signs of an improvement in trading with growing levels of orders and activity”, though the shares are currently at 1050p, 5% lower...

I last wrote about Johnson Matthey (JMAT) in late March, since when unsurprisingly the share has made some solid progress (although clearly it remains heavily down year-to-date). Back in March I wrote about how the stock would be a member of my top five 'quality longer-term FTSE-100 constituents' on the basis of the range of 'typically high barrier to entry businesses (recycling and refining of precious metals, clean air and car emissions regulation focused, plus batteries and value-adding fine chemicals)'. Well that is all fine and dandy but - as today's full year to 31st March numbers show - it does not preclude profits getting a whack...

Hello Share Placers. You may not know the company name Inditex (0QWI). Though you may be familiar with this international high street operation’s biggest brand: Zara. It also owns Pull and Bear and Bershka. Now you might think it odd in these virus days, that I should commend your further researches to a clothing outlet. But Inditex is doing better than most of its peers...

In February I wrote Tandem Group (TND) – updates including to let team “get on with it”. Er – but you’re a listed company!, concluding including that with being a listed company comes greater external scrutiny and if not liked, the option is always there to try to take the company private. If unable to... tough. Now the company announces “a statement is tomorrow being posted by the company to shareholders from one of its shareholders”...

Hummingbird Resources (HUM) “is pleased to announce the signing of a binding heads of terms agreement for the acquisition of the Kouroussa Gold Project located in Guinea”...

AIM-listed POS Catenae Innovation (CTEA) has announced that the holder of a warrant over 15 million shares exercisable at 1.25p has decided to cash in its chips. With the stock currently at 1.6p to sell, you can see why….!

Okay, with three days to go to my 33.3 mile walk in the Welsh rain we need just £9,000 more to ensure Woodlarks survives. Thanks to all who have donated. If you have not done so please do so now HERE.  In the show today I discuss Restaurant Group (RTN), Quiz (QUIZ), the disaster now facing property investors, Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX), UK Oil & Gas (UKOG) and Photo-Me (PHTM) where the bosses are total bastards. How dare the greedy so and sos treat poor old Malcolm Stacey like this?.

Fast-fashion company Quiz plc (QUIZ) has announced a “Proposed Restructuring of Retail Store Portfolio” – and the shares have currently responded to 7.5p, up more than 11%...

Do not get me wrong, I am told that there were some great things about the 1970s: The Sweeney, Starsky & Hutch, pre AIDS casual sex, The Harlem Globetrotters, Star Wars, Abba, the rise of Maggie… the list goes on an on. But while we may yearn for much of that, surely we do not want to go back to a world where we receive payments by cheques sent in the post? That is more George & Mildred than Debbie Harry.  Over at registrars Computershare it seems that time has stood still and they are still watching and laughing at Brian Murphy and Yootha Joyce.

On Monday I noted an update from MediaZest (MDZ) which had seen the shares more than 50% higher to 0.04p. At an attempted no-one watching o’clock (uh oh) 5:18pm yesterday; “Further Update re: Trading Performance”...
