Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: not everything that glistens is gold

I start with three highlights of the Superbowl. Then Galantas (GAL), Xtract Resources (XTR), Greatland Gold (GGP), Amaroq (AMRQ), African Pioneer (AFP) and Caracal (GCAT) in light of a $2900 gold price. Then the, at peak, £300 million fraud Supply@ME Capital (SYME).

Haydale – US Subsidiary Insolvency, oops a daisy!

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear! The POS that is AIM-listed Haydale (HAYD) has announced that its US subsidiary has been placed in Chapter 11 insolvency. The company merrily tells us that this will help with achieving “improved” profitability and cash flow. But it has never made a cent, instead acting as a one-way vessel for investors cash to the Great Central Bank in the Sky.

AFC Energy an £85 million green short

The relatively new CEO of AFC Energy (LSE:AFC) hosted an Investor Meet rampfest for chatroom gerbils on Friday and then he and his Mrs bought, for them, a token shareholding. That has seen the shares tickle higher to 10p. That is an £85 million market cap which makes this an outstanding short.

EnSilica – interims emphasise “successful implementation of strategy”. Really?…

Most recently writing on company describing itself as “a leading chip maker of mixed-signal Application Specific Integrated Circuits” EnSilica (ENSI), in November with the shares falling back below 50p I questioned its argued remains well positioned from both a financial and operational perspective. The shares most recently closed at 49p and now results for its half-year ended 30th November 2024 headlined “Chip supply revenue more than doubled and five design & supply contract wins, with more expected by year end. Successful implementation of strategy centred on exploiting high-growth and tech-driven markets”. So what of a current more than 9% further lower share price in response?

LifeSafe Holdings – argues “pleased to announce significant interest”… but admits no guarantees any of those negotiations will complete at all!

Emphasising it has “innovative fire extinguishing and prevention fluids and fire safety products”, LifeSafe Holdings (LIFS) has issued a “Business outlook” announcement including that “over and above its established retail channels, LifeSafe is building a solid pipeline of commercial revenue opportunities in the growing multi-billion dollar global fire safety market”. Hmmm – sounds ramptastic with a latest market cap £3.6 million at a 7.5p share price, so how “solid” really is the ‘commercial opportunities pipeline’?

Gusbourne shareholders fall victim to global warming hoax as curse of AIM strikes again

I have always had a soft spot for wine producer Gusbourne (GUS) as it was founded in Appledore, the Kent village where I spent many a childhood holiday at the retirement home of my father’s parents. The village was also home to the “railway killer”. The investment proposition fifteen years ago was that Kent has the same soil as Champagne but acreage in the garden of England was far cheaper than in Frogland. However, global warming would by now make the temperature in Kent the same as that in Champagne fifteen years ago. But…

The £300m FRAUD Supply@Me Capital forced by old TW to ‘fess up that its largest shareholder and working capital provider is bust

Prompted by the FCA after my expose and letter last week, Supply@ME Capital (SYME), in a “funding update” finally fessed up that Alessandro Zamboni’s The Avantgarde Group SpA (TAG) is insolvent. The note makes clear that the insolvency is due to historic loans to Dominic White’s Eight Capital Partners (ECP) and IWEP Limited. It should really have been called a lack of funding update.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: why hasn't Optibiotix had the promised trading statement?

I start with the rugby and end with wood. In between it's Zamboni, the moral failings of Cairn, Supply@ME Capital (SYME) and Eight Capital Partners (ECP). Then Optibiotix (OPTI) as I answer a reader question.

My two picks for 2025 were Ariana (AAU) at 1.95p per share and Golden Prospect (GPM) at 35.5p. Both Gold investments, it has been a game of two halves so far – one up and one down. Meanwhile, the yellow metal has powered ahead.
