Tom Winnifrith Bearcast No 2: reputations built over many years can be destroyed in weeks and months, ref Ariana and Probiotix

 I cover two more aspects of the Ariana (AAU) placing, I share Nigel's fury. I touch on Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) being very naughty with information leak which will enrage its lying scumbag Nomad Giles Bellend. I look at Distil (DIS), CMO (CMO) and Genflow (GENF) whose RNS is surely a spoof and at Probiotix (PBX)

Virgin Wines UK – interims emphasise new “Growth Strategy and Capital Allocation Plan”, but I thought it was already meant to be “A real corker”?…

 Shares in online wine retailer Virgin Wines UK (VINO), although now down from having been approaching 50p in the first half of 2024, at 45p are still well up from having fallen towards 30p in January this year. However, what about the current share price comparing to a most recent close 49p after news from the company today?…

Ariana – Kicks Shareholders In The Teeth, I am furious

 I am, as you know, a loyal shareholder in AIM-listed Ariana Resources (AAU) – a company pregnant with Gold assets which should be flying in the current Gold price environment. But its second mine at Tavsan in Turkey is delayed, it has an extremely attractive asset in Zimbabwe but there remains a lack of clarity over whether the government there will help itself to 26% of the asset and a long-delayed dual listing alongside a proposed fundraise in Australia (details still unknown) have plagued the share price. Now Ariana has announced a fundraise at just 1.5p, smashing the already weak share price down from 1.75p to just 1.40p last seen. I am furious.

KERBOOM: Argo Blockchain and the stinking GEM deal, Evil Banksta has more, surely the FCA must intervene?

 Earlier today Evil Banksta pointed out that the maths on today’s refinancing and acquisition by technically insolvent Argo Blockchain (ARB) just made no sense at all. The deal stinks., Now he pipes up with added detail which is just damning. The FCA should be all over this. Evil Banksta notes:

The seven stages of BBM grief - hating me but praising me having once simply abused me

 If I had a quid for every time a Bulletin Board Moron posted something like "Don't get me wrong I hate TW and he's useless but just this once he has been right" I would already be sitting in my field with the goats never having to work again. At the start it is all so different...

EXPOSE: RegTech Open Project – is a pre pack administration on the cards, meet the Colombian bird living in France

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast No 1: Utterly fecked off with Ariana and Skinbiotherapeutics, heads should roll but I am not selling either

 Ariana Resources (AAU) has done a discounted placing and Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) has served up crap interims and scaled back guidance. The chairman of Ariana and the FD at Skins, Manprick, should be falling on their swords. I expect to make money longer term from both but short term both have scored big own goals.

Disgraced PR Tim “dirty tricks” Thompson tries to cover up the Predator blow up

 Does Thompson have no shame at all? Yesterday I posted tweets made by ex Predator Oil & Gas (PRD) MD Lonny Baumgardener which essentially said that the company had lied in RNS statements and was a busted flush and thus I reported Predator to the FCA. Shareholders have a right to know the truth: is Lonny telling porkies or is Predator fibbing? But disgraced Tim thinks otherwise. He wants a cover up.

With the shares most recently closing at 34p, down from a start of 2025 near 45p, start of 2024 above 85p and a listing price in 2020 of 500p, how ‘pleasing’ really are the results of the equity placing?…

The day before it paid brown envelope man Zak Mir to do a fawning interview masquerading as journalism, a sure sign that you should avoid the shares, now 26.5p, like the plague.

Lonny has continued on twitter/X with another two tweets which suggest we may well need more beer and popcorn. Enjoy:
