Evil Banksta on the ramptastic Frontera Presentation

I rescue this post from our comments section as iut merits a wider audience. Waseem Shakoor was scathing about last night's Frontera (FRR) rampfest. Evil Banksta was there and reports:

GNK

Greene King: be patient - your pint is coming!

I laid out my updated positive view on pub operator Greene King (GNK) in early December HERE, since when the share has hardly been rampant despite a little bit of early New Year bid hope. On the latter, I think I have used up all my luck on that front with GKN year-to-date but frankly at the current valuation anything is possible.

FRR

Waseem Shakoor slates Frontera on its latest ramptastic presentation

The morally bankrupt and intellectually challenged PR fucktards at Yellow Jersey, who fund their miserable existences by helping shite companies such as Frontera Resources (FRR) ramp their worthless shares, organised an investor presentation last night for the faithful. By all accounts the wine flowed freely with the morons who attended not realising who was paying for it... it was them. Waseem Shakoor who is - rightly - short, as an £81 million market cap is absurd, notes:

Watchstone - Lack of Profits Warning and SFO update

For those who think Rob Terry,, the king of the fraudsters, has got away with the £3 billion Quindell (QPP) scam, there was confirmation today that the Serious Fraud Investigation continues. Actually you can see that on the SFO's website but that Watchstone (WTG) - Quenron wi8th a face lift - confirmed it suggests it is still co-operating. Of course it is. Its new managers loathe the criminal Terry. I do expect arrests this year. The other news - a lack of profits warning and again this is Terry's mess.

NIPT

Premaitha Health - granted leave to appeal against Illumina court judgment - BUY

Updating on Premaitha Health (NIPT) earlier in the week we noted an up to £2.1 million loan facility agreement to fund costs related to the ongoing Illumina litigation and that a Form of Order hearing is scheduled to take place early this week. The shares are currently rising towards 5p on the back of a UK High Court grants right to appeal announcement from the company…

GDP

Goldplat – tip of the year update

An 8p offer price on the initial recommendation piece, shares in Goldplat (GDP) currently trade slightly higher after Update on Negotiation with Rand Refinery and Modification to option Terms between Ashanti Gold and Goldplat for the Anumso Gold Project announcements thus far in January…

HYR

Can Hydrodec live up to its potential?

Often it is wise to exercise caution when there has been a big rise in share price on the smaller AIM outfits, but that isn’t always the case and sometimes the fortunes of the company genuinely have improved significantly.

BKY

Berkeley Energia – tip of the year update

Shares in my first tip of the year for 2018, Berkeley Energia (BKY) remained around the 57p offer price until starting to drift last week and continuing this. The company has updated with a quarterly report…

RDSA

There May Still Be Time to Take Advantage of that Soaraway Oil Price

Hello, Share Trekkies. The oil price still forges ahead. It’s around $71 for a barrel of Brent crude. And yet the big oil companies are not really reflecting the boom. However, they’ll probably catch up soon.

RTN

Restaurant Group – strategic “good progress” & adjusted profit “in line”. BUT…

This time last year I concluded bearishly on Frankie & Benny'sChiquitoCoast to Coast and Brunning & Price operator Restaurant Group PLC (RTN) as the shares headed towards 300p – noting there looked something of a perfect storm of issues. There’s now a post year-end Trading update

Collapsing-Reactor

The Anatomy of CryptoCurrency Scams (tweaked)

I am not sure where this first apperared but thanks to the reader who emailed it over. I have tweaked it to remove the name of a famour journalist as I can live without another lawyers' letter. But the core message stands about botcoin and all the other crypto bubbles is fair. Enjoy.

CBUY

Cloudbuy – warns on revenue, when will the cash run out?

AIM-listed Cloudbuy (CBUY) issued a trading statement yesterday in relation to the full year to December 2017. The good news is that bullshit earnings (EBITDA) will be broadly in line – ie a slight miss – at around half that of the previous year. The bad news is that revenues are below expectations. Uh-oh.

AVG

Avingtrans – Equities First is back

It has been a while, but it seems that the hoods from Equities First Holdings LLC are back once again: AIM-listed Avingtrans (AVG) announced on Tuesday that one of its NEDs, Mr Ewan Lloyd-Baker, is handing over 300,000 shares for a two year loan. The text of the RNS (just as with Igas, Cloudbuy, IQE, Quindell, Optimal Payments (as was) and Angle) again fails to point out that from Mr Lloyd-Baker’s point of view the deal is non-recourse so he can throw in the towel at any time if things go wrong.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast - the only issue is why Blue Prism insiders did not sell more shares

I race to an early bearcast today as I have my weekly date with the fit young mums to look forward to. On the agenda in Nighthawk (HAWK), Vertu (VTU), BCA Marketplace (BCA), Hornby (HRN), Infrastrata (INFA) - where the CEO is talking cock - Blue Prism (PRSM) and North Midland Construction (NMD) which might well be a real buy after today's warning. Or maybe not. 

HAWK

Nighthawk - not the end but the beginning of the end, Zac has warned you

I have warned you often enough that Nighthawk Energy (HAWK) is a drowning in debt dog with fleas and that its shares are worthless. But obviously while I trained as an oil analyst with the City's top rated team, Bulletin Board Morons know better. So here is Zac "the Knife" Phillips of SP Angel, the City's No 1 oil analyst, to explain why today's PR guff announcement really means. Over to "the knife":

Purplebricks - what does Google tell us? It is not something that makes me any less bearish

I'm not entirely sold on the validity of Google Trends data, not least because the top result when you enter the search term "Purplebricks" is generally not the Purplebricks (PURP) website.  In fact, the Purplebricks website is generally quite a long way down the list.  That's just because other companies are paying up for the search term, perhaps attempting to leverage the company's highly successful (and controversial) TV advertising campaign. However, I pulled together a few of the trends, by geography, over time in the hope it might show something, and I think these graphs should raise a few concerns for the bulls.

Woodford Patient Capital Trust and Benevolent AI (again) – a bit more to the shoddy tale

I don’t apologise for banging this drum a bit more in the context of Woodford Patient Capital Trust (WPCT) as the transactions relating to Benevolent AI just look so wrong and WPCT shareholders should be fuming and raising hell. I also have a few more facts to share and two additional interesting pieces of information – one new, one old.

TMO

Time Out Group – “couldn't be more proud of where the brand stands”, what about the financials?

Time Out Group (TMO) has updated on the 2017 calendar year in an announcement headlined “Time Out delivers strong progress” and including “revenue is expected to have increased by 19% year-on-year on a proforma basis with strong growth across both Time Out Digital and Time Out Market”

LPA

Outfit That Says 'Let There Be Light' Could See It's Share Value, well, Light Up

Hello, Share Toilers. We should usually give credit to a company that is a niche enterprise. That’s an outfit which does something useful which other firms don't.
