Powerhouse – just how bad is the cash position and another Turner Pope disastrous misjudgement
Just how bad is the cash position at Powerhouse Energy (PHE)? You have to ask the question today on news that it has pulled out of its planned jv with Hydrogen Utopia (HUI) at Longford in Eire. Powerhouse says that it hopes to revisit the scheme, Hydrogen makes it clear that it does not see that happening. Powerhouse says that it has to prioritise its numerus opportunities. That is bollocks.- By Tom Winnifrith, the Sheriff of AIM |

Versarien – it is what it does not say that should terrify shareholders
Today’s GM at Versarien (VRS) will no doubt pass resolutions allowing for the issue of a blizzard of confetti and a share consolidation. The alternative is insolvency before Christmas. In a verbose statement which shamed chairperson Dianne Savory will read out. It is what the woman who seems relaxed about other women being targeted and harassed, does not say which is a killer.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Lok’nStore still loves to (expensively) hold your junk
It is a new week but I see in today’s range of corporate numbers that Lok’nStore (LOK) still has lots of people’s junk to store, with its full year numbers to the end of July seeing a just over 5% rise in self storage revenue year-on-year. A bit like many things in life, if you have not used something for many years, you are never going to use it and, given the existing online capability to sell pretty much anything you like to someone else, I am amazed the average citizen does not shift a bit of their junk for a few quid…so they can buy some prospects for tomorrow’s list of junk (or pay a few bills and the like). However, life is changing a little bit…- By Chris Bailey |

A Comparison of AIMs Largest Fake Takeover with the Upland Amateurs
This week we celebrate the official anniversary of AIM’s largest ever fake takeover. Four years ago, on 24 October 2019, Eurasia Mining (EUA) blew the starting whistle with an RNS that would ultimately see its market cap inflated from just under £10 million to a peak of £1.2 billion. During that time, whilst supposedly seeking to sell its assets, Eurasia placed to raise funds three times, raising a total of $45 million from shareholders. All that money has gone now!- By Evil Banksta |

Renold – now again a trading Buy
Industrial chains and related power transmission products company Renold plc (RNO) issued an update just last month concluding “as a result of the continued positive trading momentum, and an increase in activity from the recently announced Davidson acquisition, the board now anticipates achieving results for the year ending 31 March 2024, higher than previously expected”. That helped the shares up to 31p but that was only a level they had been at as recently as May and this month they have fallen from above 30p at the start towards 27.5p. Recently they have started to recover, but we suggest there is a lot further to go from a 28.4p offer price.- By HotStockRockets |

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Upland admits the 14p, £166m, bid was a complete scam - vindication for the Master of penny share fraud busting
I was on a road trip yesterday so only noticed the after hours 'fess up late in the evening. Upland's shares will be destroyed, it is a complete vindication of my coverage and some folks should be going to jail if the FCA, regulator of the Standard List, launches a criminal enquiry as it must do. Upland Resources (UPL) management are - at best - guilty of criminal naivete and negligence, To show that they are not part of a criminal conspiracy, perhaps involving the tweet below, they should be demanding an FCA enquiry - I hope you followed my short advice as these shares will, as I predicted, collapse like a failed souffle on Monday.- By Tom Winnifrith |
