According to the deputy business secretary Emma Reynolds I am as an employer not a worker. Having never worked in the private sector she is the sort of person who think I sit around all day counting my money, smoking cigars and watching cats on the internet while those I employ do the real work. As it happens I got home at 4 AM Greek time last night and went straight to work, chasing up an errant employee who had fecked something up . I feel ill and tired and want to go to bed but I most finish the days work, chasing that heroic employee who fecked it up as he snored until 10 am, ensuring bills are paid, producing articles, dealing with a Sharestock issue.
I start with a lucky escape for me, I apologise on the short contest voting as Darren has screwed up again ( another 2 P45s needed). Then it is a Gotcha on Vast Resources (VAST) Eco Buildings (ECOB) and why today's news from Amaroq (AMRQ) makes it a sleep safe 2029 three or four bagger
Describing itself as “a global leader in the design and manufacture of supercapacitors and energy management systems”, CAP-XX (CPX) has announced results for its year ended 30th June 2026 including emphasising “materially reduced losses and strengthened demand”. What then of a currently further lower share price response to 0.1075p?
The reason is not what it says about Amaroq (AMRQ) but that I suffer from extreme vertigo. Watch it and you will see what I mean.
I predict that at some stage shareholders in Valereum (VLRM) will realise that the problem is not old TW, who is today being outed on the telegram group as personally having instructed AQSE to suspend the shares on Friday afternoon. What power!. Meanwhile when the morons wake up I predict that they will form a Shareholder Action Group (SAG) to try to save the company by changing management. Call me mystic meg but it always happens.. Meanwhile the feeble minded are being tortured by phantom trades.
Most recently on UK building products company Ibstock (IBST), in August with the shares falling from 97.8p I questioned its improvement confidence considering the UK and Middle East backdrops and concluded to still avoid. What of now a “trading update” including its “domestic brick market share in Q3 was consistent year on year, while average selling prices to the market remained broadly in line with expectations” and the shares currently slumping a further approaching 10% to below 75p?
If a listed company, or rather an executive of a listed company, is passing on price sensitive information via a social media chat group so that folks then trade on that information why is that not insider dealing? We know it happened because of the disciplinary notice below, dated October 13.
Wildcat Gold (WCAT), formerly Wildcat Petroleum has had its shares suspended on the Main Market as it cannot get its Annual Report for the year to June 30 out. The reason is that it is insolvent. I remind you of an RNS from August 3 …
The bet the ranch short semi finals are postponed for 24 hours thanks to the incompetence of Darren. A P45 should be on the way to him. In this podcast I discuss legal threats from Valereum (VLRM), gold and media madness at the Telegraph looking back at how it treated Uncle Chris Booker
The not so private Valereum (VLRM) Telegram group is a hoot. Natch the morons there think that I am the pantomime villain and am to blame for shares in the company being suspended after Guild became the second advisor to quit in less than a year. But now it gets even more amusing as chairman James Bannon has posted as you can see below.
Gold closed the week at $3,874 – well below the $4,000 level and a nasty drop from last week’s $3,995 when I suggested we were seeing capitulation at the end of a long correction since the heady days in the spring when we saw $5,500. Gold stocks were also battered, as can be seen on the chart below (courtesy of ADVFN) of Gold against its mining ETFs GDX, GDXJ and GOEX. It all looks grim.
From grocery bills to mortgage payments, inflation remains a major concern for households worldwide. Now, the Iran war and renewed trade tensions are adding fresh pressure to prices, even as some economies see inflation ease. This graphic maps projected inflation rates across 191 economies in 2026, using data from the IMF’s latest World Economic Outlook.
