My own talk may or may not be a double act with Mr X. If I am going out I am going out with a bang.

essensys – nominated adviser and broker change, another red flag?

Describing itself as a “leading global provider of software and technology to the flexible workspace industry”, essensys (ESYS) today “is pleased to announce the appointment of Canaccord Genuity Limited as the company's Nominated Adviser and Sole Broker, with immediate effect”. Hmmm, why might this be?

In running Metals NRG ( now Atlas Metals ) since its IPO until February of this year, Rolf Gerritsen trousered hundreds of thousands of pounds while, natch, shareholders were screwed. How the mighty are fallen.

Just five months after saying it was funded for 12 months, Lengias shitcoin play Vinanz issues more worthless confetti

As it moved to the AQSE lobster pot to the Main market at 21p in January of this year, Dave Lenigas shitcoin play Vinanz (BTC), insisted that it was funded for a year. By May it had taken out a $4 million death spiral and now it has raised £3.579 million at 13.75p in a subscription and WRAP retail offer. Hopping on board to join the ramp, PR genius Stephi, now a self-styled crypto guru makes a statement that may or may not be true.

Greatland Gold – positive dual-listing bookbuild, with share tip more than 100% up what next?

Greatland Gold (GGP) has announced that it “successfully completes ASX bookbuild” and that it “look forward to now finalising the corporate reorganisation under Greatland Resources and commencement of trading on both the ASX and AIM”. That sounds like further good news from this initial 7.3p offer price tip as we are well over 100% ahead on this one in just eight months.

Warpaint London – AGM Statement confidence it will meet full-year market expectations, but how confident to really be?…

Branded cosmetics company with lead brands W7 and Technic, Warpaint London (W7L) has issued an “AGM Statement” commencing that it “continues to trade robustly with sales for the six months to 30 June 2025 expected to be in the range of £50 million to £52 million (six months to 30 June 2024: £45.9 million)”. In the current macroeconomic environment particularly, that sounds decent – so why a currently approaching 10% lower share price response towards 400p?

Another day, another bit of bitcoin in treasury spiv activity involving many of the usual suspects

The madness continues. The latest company jumping on the shitcoin in treasury bandwagon is AQSE listed Vault Ventures (VULT) which at 0.045p is now capitalized at c£5 million. Vault was formerly Meme Vault, formerly Pitch Pit – it has changed names and business strategies almost as many times as I have enjoyed inappropriate thoughts about Cheryl Cole.

Surely Sharesoc cannot be a gamekeeper if it is bankrolled by potential poachers, counting Baillie Gifford's moolah

I am not a member of ShareSoc. That is partly for historic reasons, its attacks on me for exposing the Globo fraud and other “crimes” of that ilk. But also because I sense that as a body that claims to stand up for private investors it is hopelessly compromised.

RC Fornax – “Trading Update” AIM IPO Roll-Call of Shame in just over 4 months!

Describing itself as a “UK-based consultancy delivering high-impact engineering solutions to the defence sector’s most critical platforms”, RC Fornax (RCFX) has issued a “Trading Update” commencing with that the recent UK Strategic Defence Review “provides a strong backdrop for potential future demand for RC Fornax’s services, and indeed, since publication of the SDR, the company has seen a marked increase in customer engagement”. So what about a currently 24.5p share price, £14 million market cap, in response, down more than 50%?!

Brickability – “Director/PDMR Shareholding” announcement = material directors share sales

Describing itself as “a leading distributor and provider of specialist products and services to the UK construction industry”, in April Brickability Group (BRCK) was “pleased to provide a pre-close trading update for the financial year ended 31 March 2025” – with that headlined “Full year performance ahead of market expectations” and including “move into FY26 with an increasingly healthy financial position, and a business that is built for material growth as our end markets recover”. With the shares then above 60p, what of today a “Director/PDMR Shareholding” announcement?

Touchstone Exploration: More liars and scumbag rule breakers on the AIM Casino exposed

It is not a good day for AIM. More scumbag behaviour explains why good companies are rushing to leave the casino. On May 8, Touchstone Exploration (TXP) announced that it “has successfully raised £15.375 million with certain institutional and other investors in the United Kingdom.” Note the tense. It “has”, as in past tense, the deal has been done. Except that is not true. Nomad Shore cap appears to have signed off on a porky. Did it check that the money was in the bank, which it was not?

Smarter Web Company the madness continues, another £29 million raised at 180p – do the maths

What is it with devout Christians and The Smarter Web Company (SWC)(. This time it is not mad catholic priests worshipping mammon but @RCA2112BTC whose twitter bio says he believes in “God, family #bitcoin”. Forgetting about the eye of the needle this morning he tweeted to Richard Jennings and myself “have fun staying poor” as Smarter announced that a £15 million bookbuild had become a £29 million fund raise at 180p. Mad just got double mad, the shares are now 252.5p! Here are the maths.

Ocean Harvest Technology – following September 2024 “believe that the group has adequate resources… for at least 12 months”, currently a funding struggle for even “an insolvency process”!

Most recently on Ocean Harvest Technology Group (OHT), last month I wrote ‘following September 2024 “believe that the group has adequate resources… for at least 12 months”, now ‘financial position uncertainty’ shares suspension!’. Now an “Update, Directorate change, NOMAD resignation”-titled announcement. This doesn’t sound encouraging either!
