Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: what a merger of Sainsbury & Asda means for staff, customers and shareholders

There is only one story in the financial papers today - the advanced stage talks between Sainsbury (SBRY) and Asda owner Walmart about merging the two UK operations. I discuss what any marriage, a marriage born of desperation, would mean for staff, customers and shareholders.

UK Investor Show 2018 Video: Leo Koot of Columbus Energy Resources

This is the great Leo the man who has transformed Del Boy Lenigas operation LGO Energy into a company that is going places, Columbus Energy (CERP). This presentation struck me as not bad at all.

Is this the daftest product and the dumbest business plan in history - Julie Meyer "builds the future"

When your business is raising money for other businesses you might be judged by the quality of those you back. In the video from 2015 below Julie Meyer introduces someone with whom she is "building the future"someone who has done a "big and important deal". Watch and laugh, you could not make this up.

UK Investor Show Main stage speaker Dr Johnny Hon on China fraud with Tom Winnifrith Cameo

I rather wondered what Dr Hon of The Global Group would say about China fraud on AIM but what he said was pretty explosive, exposing those within the City who quite deliberately and systematically broke Chinese rules to allow frauds to float in London. This was great stuff because the scandal is that those who did this still operate in the City today. I make a cameo appearance at the end. Enjoy.

Will you support the Crowd Fund to stop evil UK Oil & Gas infringing ALL our civil liberties

Normally if it is a group of smelly, workshy, tree huggers up against a PLC in the Courts I back the PLC all the way. Capitalism rocks and most protesters should just go get a bath, get on their bikes and get a proper job. But this case is different and we should all support the smellies.

WSBN

UK Investor Show 2018 video: Richard Poulden of Wishbone Gold

I own shares in Wishbone Gold (WSBN) in my pension and so does FIML. So, for that matter, does my son Joshua. I think that in the end we will all make money and a lot of it but so far it has been "bumpy." Here to explain why the future is golden is founder and chairman Richard Poulden.

XTR

The Seven Mythical Wonders (April update) – Xtract disappoints yet again but EVR Holdings appears tantalisingly close to launch

It’s time for my monthly look at this motley selection of AIM wannabes. Not much to say for most of them so want to focus on the contrasting progress reports from Xtract Resources (XTR) and EVR Holdings (EVRH).

TERN

UK Investor Show 2018 Video: Bruce Leith of Tern

Tern (TERN) is, of course, the bete noire of our own Nigel Somerville. It has also be THE AIM wonder stock of the past week. So what exactly did Bruce Leith say at UK Investor Show. Enjoy.

Julie Meyer MBE has skipped Malta & Police Hunt there, Her lawyer has quit -John Galt reports her to UK Police for separate alleged crime & More

John Galt the whitleblower turned nemesis of devout Christian Julie Meyer MBE is back online just days after Julie Meyer's lawyers managed to bully his webhoster into removing his posts. He is back with TWO damning exposes full of new material including details of an alleged crime with a two year sentence which Galt has reported to the British Police.  Meyer has already fled Malta where the Police there are after her.  Before Meyer's lawyers - if she has any left - get these posts taken down have a butcher's as they are utterly damning and explosive.

UK Investor Show Video Dragon's Den 3: Tom, Nigel Wray and Steve Moore invest another £3,000

At UK Investor Show there were six Dragon's Den sessions. As a result of each £3,000 of my real money was invested after each dragon picked one of the 5 companies doing an elevator pitch. In session three the Dragons were me (Tom Winnifrith), Nigel Wray and Steve Moore.  The companies pitching were: Vast Resources, ECR Minerals, FairFX, Red Rock Resources and Ferrum Minerals.

Notes from Underground - Me vs the Internet

Unless you need high speed Internet, wherein we revert to the Victorian times. I swear, I don't know how Charles Dickens and Jules Verne got anything done with the poor Internet we suffer in the Capital.

UK Investor Show 2018 Video: Colin Bird of Xtract Resources

Thanks to Gary Newman and Steve Moore and the 2017 Dragon's Den I am an impoversihed investor in Xtract Resources (XTR). Should I sack them do you think? Anyhow there is a new boss, Colin Bird, and he puts the recovery case...

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast - Have the Police found Julie Meyer yet & I reveal the massive Beaufort fishing trip its customers are paying for

I week after UK Investor I reflect briefly on our show, on its plans for 2019 and on the massive flops of two also rans. I ask if the Maltese Old Bill have collared Julie Meyer yet? I think not. I hear she has skipped the Island to head to London. And then I have yet more absolutely shocking revelations about the administration of Beaufort Securities.

Alas Paul Scott I knew him

When Paul Scott starts his morning newsletter with references to Chaka Khan you kind of fear that he is drunk in charge of a keyboard. He ended his long & less interesting than usual missive yesterday, which was largely a cut & paste,  with the phrase "Let's have less Tom Winnifrith please! He causes stress & anguish - go away Tom, you're a bore." and then sent his tedious column to various folks such as Nigel Wray.

UK Investor Show Video - the Amazing Vin Murria

Some investor shows have all women panels in a rather patronising tokenistic manner. Our main stage speakers are there on merit and merit alone. This year there were three women on the main stage, including the show owner Lucy Wray. But the star, as ever, was the Queen of tech Vin Murria. She would hit me if I suggested she was there as part of a quota, she is the ultimate meritocrat and she is forthright in her views. For me this was the session  of the show but is for paying subscribers only.

Dillistone – “pleased to announce” results for 2017, so why are the shares slumping?

Dillistone Group (DSG), “the AIM quoted supplier of recruitment software for the international recruitment industry… is pleased to announce its audited final results for the 12 months ended 31 December 2017”, including emphasising “2017 was an exciting year for the Dillistone Group with the launch of GatedTalent”.

TECH

UK Investor Show Video 2018 - Asaf Lahav of Techfinancials

I met up with Asaf from TechFinancials (TECH) the day before the show. We had a bit of a disagreement about Syria but moved swifty on as he tried to explain blockchain and his ICO to me - and I think I almost got it. Here he is at the UK Investor Show doing the same. Enjoy.

PREM

UK Investor Show 2018 Video: George Roach of Premier African Minerals

What I know about Premier African Minerals (PREM) could be written on the back of a postage stamp. And a small one at that! To broaden my knowledge base here is its boss George Roach in action last weekend.
