Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
The most read non-Tom article this week is The View From The Montana Log-Cabin As Gold Falls Again In Face Of Bond Rout by Nigel Somerville at number 18, or number 26 with Bearcasts.
After hours yesterday Avacta (AVCT) announced that it had successfully raised £12.5 million at 68p. Up to a point. I have now seen communications from Zeus Capital with regard to what it termed “Project Hawkeye,” the culmination of a few weeks of frantic share ramping via RNS and research pumping the stock from the very same broker that would soon be doing a placing.
Poor DucknDive. Being long and strong of Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) seems to have got to him and he now has a severe case of Amaroq (AMRQ) derangement syndrome, posting hostile comments relentlessly. Last night it was announced in an RNS that NED Graham Stewart had sold a third of his shares. PoorDucknDive had a major episode screaming:
Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) has issued its half-year 2026 results including that following a serious security incident at its Tulu Kapi gold project in Ethiopia “development activities were immediately suspended with a view to resumption in a carefully sequenced manner. Consultations with representatives of the local community and the Ethiopian and Oromia governments, and their respective agencies have reaffirmed support for the project and for the company’s careful approach to resuming development. Principal contractors, lenders and local investors also remain supportive”. So where now for the shares from 0.6p?
You can find out HERE thanks to the Taxpayers Alliance. Where I live in Wrexham, £244 million will be handed out this year in benefits, that is an average of £2049 per person - up 16.2% since Labour came to power.
Amaroq (AMRQ) has noted its upcoming inclusion in the FTSE 250 index stating it “clearly validates our strategy of moving our listing from AIM to the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange and will open us up to inclusion in further index tracking funds and the commensurate impact on liquidity of indexation” in an announcement that also includes “achieving Q4 2026 production target one quarter early”. More good news although, as Tom pointed out here, the effect will only be c£12 million of tracker buying, 2% of the equity. But it all helps!
I have dropped it a note objecting to a possible strike off and also to investigate a possible breach of Section 1112 of the Companies Act 2006. It is, after all, a criminal offense to knowingly or recklessly file a document or statement with Companies House that is misleading, false, or deceptive with a potential jail term of up to two years and an unlimited fine. I write:
Today Medpal AI (MPAL) reports another very strong update on revenue growth but… there is always a but when the Drummonds are involved.
Ariana Resources (AAU) has issued a “Dokwe Project Feasibility Programme Update” following recent half-year results. What do these suggest for the valuation from a current 1.475p share price?
The London Stock Exchange (LSE), where I am a loyal shareholder, normally publishes data covering arrivals departures, funds raised etc on the AIM Casino by the 7th of the following month. But right now we await not only September data but also that from August.
Modern Monetary Theory is clearly nonsense. It is not a theory it is an economic policy tested in Weimar and Zimbabwe and found wanting. But still gullible Guardian reading saps like Lucian Miers find themselves attracted. So Lucian poses a question for us all and the best answer wins a bottle of champagne sent by the Bard of the Boleyn.
After a few jokes about Liverpool's greatest numbers man since Ken Dodd it is all about Amaroq (AMRQ) day and what a great day it is for we loyal shareholders.
I start with the welfare calculator from the TPA and numbers that are stunning us all but also look at Covid bounce back loan fraud. That brings me to the economic flatulence of Kemi's Tories and why its tax pledges play so badly in places like Wrexham, a must win seat. That is my challenge for Evil Banksta and his YC chums. Then it is Amaroq (AMRQ), Kendrick (KEN), the Quantum Blockchain (QBT) scandal and Petra Diamonds (PDL). PS Do enter Lucian's prize contest HERE
It may cost me money as has my expression of horror about what happened on October 7th before. But I cannot and will not stay silent. I stand with the Jews. Tomorrow bearcast will return to the world of shares but not today.
En passant I mention Eco Buildings (ECOB) and Georgina Energy (GEX) but this is really all about Vaultz Capital (VT3C) and the really whacky world of FN Advisory and YOUR taxpayer cash.
I start with the 3rd year anniversary of October 7 and how some folks are marking it and why the Police are useless in not responding. Then it is Petra Diamonds (PDL), utter bollocks from morally bankrupt advisors like PR wanker Christian Taylor Wilkinson in a 'fess up from Quantum Blockchain (QBT) after my GOTCHA yesterday and finally a long look at Kenmare (KMR) and the bid from Andy Burnham's pals in Abu Dhabi.
I start with the debate between two great conservative thinkers. Then it is why BuriedTreasure is so naive with regard to Bluebird Mining (BMV), why folks should see through Hamak (HAMA) and its jackanory RNS and finally Amaroq (AMRQ) and blonde Swedish nurses.
I shall be watching series 14 of Blue Bloods but there is an alternative on offer. From that I move to my letter to Companies House today, why I warm to the lunatic DucknDive who made me laugh today, and then to Petra Diamonds (PDL).
I discuss Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) and Delta Gold (DTG) where Jonathan Swann faces a Nigel Wray dilemma. I have a qyestion for Swanny and wonder if he has an honest answer.
