UPDATED YET AGAIN NEW SPEAKERS Sharestock 2025, we are on: date fixed so book now! Eldur is in!
Call it a crowdfunder if you wish. Either I wait up to a year to be even seen by the NHS for a most discomforting condition of the sort a gentleman does not write about or I go private. Natch it has just to be the latter as life right now is not fun. So, given my diagnosis is, so far, not terminal let’s do it again. Besides which, everyone who came along this year said how much fun they had.so why not?- By Tom Winnifrith |

Touchstar – after interims, now again a Buy?
Mobile data computing and managed services company Touchstar (TST) recently announced half-year results including “the results are below H1 2023… pre-tax profits fell by 17.3% to £254,000”. However, we concur that the company “has demonstrated a high quality of earnings, a proven record of good growth and strong cash generation” – and consider there is now good reason to believe those will be realised from a 110p offer share price.- By HotStockRockets |

BP or Not BP. There's Probably No Question.
Hello Share Pushers. The obscene war in the Middle East has not really affected the price of oil. You would expect it to have risen sharply on the escalating hostilities, but it’s still weak compared to a year ago. But with Iran out of the equation I would expect the oil price to rise soon.- By Malcolm Stacey |

Zotefoams – a continuing progress, but lower share price, Buy
Writing earlier this year on cellular materials technology company Zotefoams (ZTF), we considered there clear further upside potential including from accelerating and de-risking its proprietary technology, ‘ReZorce’ – with this substrate being developed for fully recyclable beverage cartons then being produced and quality and compliance testing procedures being initiated. However, a then more than 42% less than four months gain saw us take profits at a 524p bid price. Since then, the company’s first half of 2024 results have emphasised “preparing for market trial of 150,000 sterile juice cartons in Western Europe. Exploring strategic investment partnership during H2 2024 to facilitate the scale-up and delivery of the ReZorce solution globally” and “continued progress, with the benefits of our diverse market profile providing both stability and opportunities to unlock growth in a mixed economic backdrop”…yet the shares have fallen well below 450p. Here’s why we consider they can exceed the 570p they did in June, again.- By HotStockRockets |
