Notes from Underground – Most read articles for the week ending 30 September
Here are the most read and most listened-to articles and Bearcasts on ShareProphets over the past seven days. The most read non-Quiz, non-Tom article last week is by Steve Moore, Videndum – interims argue “remains well positioned”. Er what about that, amidst noted macroeconomic headwinds, it “may require an equity raise”?! at No 5 or No 11 including Bearcasts.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: does nothing in this ffing country work as we pay taxes at a 70 year high
I am so ffing angry, Matthew's Dog and Catriona will love it as I discuss another DOS attack on this website, the illegal ffing rave at the illegal ffing Wild Camping site run by a tax dodger over the river and more. Then it is onto Ben's Creek (BEN) and Eden Research (EDEN), where that old bag Jo Hart should hang her head in shame.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Letter to AIM Regulation – will you ever act against Bidstack about its lies & rule breaches?
Not for the first time I have written to AIM Regulation about the rule breaking antics of Bidstack (BIDS) and its disgraced boss Lyin’ James Draper. The fact is that it is the failure of the Oxymorons to act against previous transgressions dating right back to the year of its RTO in 2018, that encouraged Draper to carry on lying and deceiving mug punters so that they have lost nearly all their money . Now as Bidstack slides towards insolvency, as I showed yesterday, it is probably to late to get it to change its ways but pour encourager les autres…- By Tom Winnifrith, the Sheriff of AIM |

Photo Article from ShareStock No 5 – Jourdan through to Frisby & beyond
After tea things started to go wrong with timings and Bev in charge of catering started to feel ill and so there were logistics issues creeping in. So I am afraid that guests missed out on home made ice cream and also lavender cordial. We almost have a date for next year sorted out (provisionally its September 7) so we will get things bang on next time! Back on the main stage it was Paul Jourdan whose talk was topical in light of Malcolm Stacey’s column today.premium content

Barkby – Another Disaster As Announces Accounting Extension
AIM-listed disaster Barkby (BARK) announced an extension to its reporting period by three months yesterday morning. The company tells us that the change of accounting date is in order to align the year end of all group companies with the market's reporting timetable. So it has absolutely nothing to do with any minor difficulties in getting its audited accounts signed off - that's alright then, nothing to see here, move along please.- By Nigel Somerville |

Two posters on the LSE Asylum surely facing life bans for the cardinal sin
It is the Bidstack (BIDS) thread and I fear that user555 and GirdZ will be hauled up and banned for life for posting something deemed more unacceptable than a Laurence Fox monologue on GB News. Yes...- By Tom Winnifrith |

Morgan Stanley Says UK Shares Are 'Cheapest in the World'. So What Are You Waiting For?
Hello Share Samplers. I’m suffering my first cold since Covid started. As my immune system hasn't been troubled for four years, the symptoms are pretty terrible. Which makes me more inclined to invest in medical shares. My next big purchase will be this jumbo.- By Malcolm Stacey |

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: If you can't afford £1.49 you should not own any shares
I start with my video feed, Peter Brailey IT genius (not) and my cat. Then it is Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI), Caracal Gold (GCAT), Bidstack (BIDS) and a real ouzo moment, Regtech Open (FRAUD) and Supply@ME Capital (FRAUD), Cavendish Finance (CAV), Vast Resources (VAST), Nanosynth (NNN), Zephyr Energy (ZPHR), Tintra (TNT), Olaf's b/f the trainspotter and Ben's Creek (BEN). For various other reasons I am in a bad mood and my language reflects this. Matthew's dog and Catriona will love this podcast.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Tintra Plc – where are the promised final results?
In its RNS of 1 September Tintra (TNT) informed shareholders that it had changed auditors part way through their audit for the year ended 31 January 2023 and stated that “Our decision to change audit firm is to enable audit completion by the end of September”. At the time I expressed scepticism about this proposed revised timetable and at 2.15 pm on Friday 29 September it appears that I was justified as no RNS of final results has yet appeared.premium content
Photo Article from ShareStock No4 – this fellow thought he'd beaten the old master at Croquet As Andrew Bell winds up the IRA man
And so after lunch it was Peter Hambro (gold), Dominic Frisby (Bitcoin and a bit of gold) and me ( no longer convinced by either) on stage. Both guests knew their stuff and were excellent but I wonder if this debate is really of that much interest these days.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Scotgold: oh dear, oh dear – things are getting desperate, the Fat Lady should consider heading to Jockland
Its shares are suspended pending clarification but over at AIM listed Scotgold (SGZ), the worthless company promoted by BBC lies, things go from bad to worse and shareholders should brace themselves for a wipeout soon.- By Tom Winnifrith, the Sheriff of AIM |

Supply@Me Capital interims - technically insolvent and material uncertainty over going concern as Zamboni fails to show (SY)ME the money
Today’s interim results from Supply@ME Capital (SYME) have the usual features with the promises of jam tomorrow from the CEO Alessandro Zamboni but in reality, there are tiny revenues of just £77,000, negative gross margins of £108,000, pre-tax losses of £2,561,000, net liabilities on the statement of financial position of £2,146,000 and a material uncertainty caveat over going concern. So very much business, or rather lack of it, as usual.- By Tom Winnifrith |

THE FCA IN DISGRACE AGAIN on £60m scam: RegTech Open Project - from IPO to material uncertainty over going concern in 1 month
The FCA approved the prospectus for Regtech Oen Project (RTOP) to list on the Standard segment of the Main Market on 25 August. Today, just a month later there is a disaster. I have warned the FCA abut this, surely it must consider an enquiry into how it has fecked it up yet again.- By Tom Winnifrith |

MORE VINDICATION FOR THE SHERIFF: Bidstack – you could not make this related party shitshow up but they did!
Cross dressing IT consultants from Northampton and other fools who knew better than the Sheriff are spitting out their cornflakes in anger this morning because Bidstack (BIDS) has today served up a shit show so bad that even I did not expect it. It’s a disgrace even by the standards of the AIM sewer. So much of a disgrace that 2 directors have resigned with immediate effect. Put it this way, ex COO Camila Franklin, I would not want to shag your CV after your 12 month stint at this con.- By Tom Winnifrith, the Sheriff of AIM |

3i Infrastructure is still a smarter investment than cash or bonds
I am trying to remember if I have ever owned shares in a water company. Maybe when I historically took over an institutional fund, there was an allocation which I (quickly) sold and replaced with something more interesting. Therefore, when I read the news that Severn Trent (SVT) has announced a £1 billion money raising this morning, I wish any investors good luck but I am not going to be involved (even if the Qatar Investment Authority is committed to a £500 million further investment). I think we can all guess how the total return profile of equity investors in this sector may well perform over the next decade. And you also have to be careful about the infrastructure sector too.- By Chris Bailey |
