Hello, Share Whizzers. It’s always a pleasure to report on a previously commended share which continues to shine. Spirax‐Sarco Engineering (SPX) sounds like a boring proposition, but where there’s a yawn factor there is often a tasty opportunity. The share price of this Footsie giant has recently breached new highs almost daily.

Death spiral providers take no view on whether a company is good, bad, honest or dishonest as long as there is liquidity in the shares so it can dump who cares? Thus the cash guzzling fraud Supply@ME Capital (SYME) says it has secured a £5.6 million death spiral. And it seems as if once the initial tranche of shares is dumped Supply/Negma can repeat up to nine more times. Talk about a rolling maul of selling pressure!

I start with a request to you all, to help me nail some villains. Please can you send THIS OUTSIDE PAYWALL ARTICLE to all your twitter, instagram, facebook etc accounts. I then look at the frauds Zoetic International (ZOE) and Supply@ME Capital (SYME), as well as Best of the Best (BOTB) which is not a fraud but is a stock that for three reasons I would not touch with a bargepole.

Provider of fryer management and other services to commercial kitchens, Filta Group (FLTA) “is pleased to report that it continues to experience an increasing level of demand for its services in all of its operating territories”. What does this operationally and financially mean?…

The FCA is, almost two years after I first warned it, still doing nothing about the Appbox Media/One True View Boiler Room scam which has seen £35 million or more taken from private investors.  Now I have yet more evidence of what a monumental fraud this is. But with the FCA seemingly not giving a toss, investors appear to be taking matters into their own hands.

A non executive director is meant to be there as a counterweight to executive directors to protect shareholders. They should be truly independent of the execs. Having seen its last but one non exec quit with immediate effect, Braveheart Investment Group (BRH) has found a new NED. But if Dr Qu Li is independent I am a banana.

It has always amazed me how the paper that purports to be the voice of business has, on so many issues taken a profoundly anti-business line.  The FT told us to vote for Blair, to join the EMU and the Euro and to oppose Brexit. Natch it is all in favour of a radical green agenda even if it cripples business in the West. And it cannot get enough of the sort of ESG porn that the FCA also jerks off on every day. Today it bigs up a story about the FTSE Russell Index threatening 208 companies with expulsion. According to the FT:

An AGM statement from recruitment software and services group Dillistone (DSG) includes “we are pleased to see signs of a return towards normality in several of our key markets… cash balances of £0.95m at 31 May”. Is a current fall to a 22p share price, £4.3 million market capitalisation, justified?…

In trading, timing is everything and the board of Best of the Best (BOTB) look like they are the kings of the timely trade. On 31 March 2021 the company announced a heavily oversubscribed secondary placing. The RNS on April Fool’s day stated

AIM-listed Inspirit Energy (INSP) has graced the market with an update from the boiler room with regard to the new waste heat recovery system  for the application on the Volvo marine engine. Ooooh, the excitement……

Pharos Energy (PHAR) has announced a discovery it considers reconfirms the potential for additional oil on the El Fayum concession, Egypt, and that it is about to commence development drilling in the Cuu Long Basin and 3D seismic acquisition in the Phu Khanh Basin, offshore Vietnam. Having helped the shares up to 25.6p, what now?…

Hello, Share Scrapers. The oil price is going through the roof. Not the $120 a barrel that it once reached, but well above the $70 mark now. That won’t please motorists, but it should certainly cheer share shifters like us. A rising oil price usually means a similarly-inclined Footsie, but for holders of big oil shares it’s even better news.

It has been a while since I have actually been on a beach for various reasons, but as for the stock On The Beach (OTB) I have never owned any shares in ‘one of the UK’s leading online retailers of beach holidays’. So well done if you tripled your money in the name between late 2016 and mid-2018…and then shorted your holding all the way back by early last year. Today the shares sit in a halfway house point with the price just north of 350p, giving a market cap of around £550 million. You can guess the basic view of today’s first half numbers to the end of March.

I start with four companiues to boycott: Octopus Energy, Grolsch, Nivea and Kopparber. Not that it will make any difference. I then battle EasyJet (EZJ) to get my own money back and discuss why i would not own its shares. Then onto Bidstack (BIDS) which will meet payroll next week but will struggle in July, Verditek (VDTK) and finally Westminster Group (WSG) run by sleazy ex Tory MP Tony Baldry of the fraud 3DM infamy. 

Oil has been on a bit of a charge recently and there aren’t any real signs of that strength coming to an end anytime soon, but quite a few of the producers haven’t responded as well as you would expect, in terms of share price movement.

Alpha Growth (ALGW) is a company listed on the (Sub) Standard List of the LSE main market which specialises in the longevity asset space.  Its shares at time of writing are off 17% which values the company at £18 million.  For a company which reported turnover of just £90,264 and a loss of £223,971 in its last interim results, this is baking in a lot of hope value for its managed fund and its recent life insurance company acquisition.

Previously writing on Defence, Aerospace & Energy technology and services group TP (TPG), on October-announced interims with the shares just above 6p I concluded I’ll monitor the company’s development and its cash generation going forward, but at this valuation juncture only at best on the watchlist. The shares previously closed at 5.65p and are currently further lower on the back of full-year results. So what’s happening now?…

When you lie about your net assets, your revenues and your sales pipeline as the fraud Supply@ME Capital (SYME) has done on an industrial scale then almost anything you say must be viewed with extreme scepticism. And that brings us to the company’s oft delayed and still awaited results.

Yet more red faces for Andrew Monk and his team at VSA Capital which launched this abomination on the stockmarket and still acts as its adviser. But I guess that coke and hookers don’t pay for themselves and a man’s got to do what a man’s got to do. What a total shambles! Sub-Standard-listed AIQ (AIQ) has announced the result of its strategic review this morning – this as a result of the disastrous reverse takeover of Alchemist Codes to add to the original and equally shambolic IPO on the sub-standard list back in 2018 which saw the stock suspended for most of its first six months on the market.

Roland “Fatty” Cornish, London’s worst Nomad, and the Oxymorons at AIM Regulation are yet to respond to my damning related party expose of Alien Metals (UFO) of last week HERE. While we wait and, as Roland starts the countdown to his elevenses, here are some more questions that he should be asking of his client.
