Why DCC plc is one of my largest pension fund positions
Three months or so ago, I observed that “DCC (DCC) is a little bit of a tricky company to understand” HERE. I know its website observes “provide solutions the world needs across three transformative sectors: energy, healthcare and technology; where we acquire, improve and grow diverse businesses”, but that hardly makes matters easier. Elsewhere, I have seen others use “international sales, marketing and support services group operating”, but I personally prefer the phrase “facilitation”.

The brazen fraud Tingo – a new disclaimer
Why anyone owns shares in the brazen fraud Tingo (US:TIO) masterminded by the Foreign Secretary's cousin the serial villain Chris Cleverly defies belief. Those dumb enough to invest might care to consider an addendum to the risk factors at the bottom of the latest release, the one postponing Q2 numbers and SEC filings for a third time.- By Tom Winnifrith |

EXPLOSIVE DOSSIER: RegTech Open Project Plc - a £60m IPO CON from the Supply@ME stable the FCA thinks is fine and dandy
Yesterday the FCA approved the Prospectus for RegTech Open Project Plc (RTOP) so that it can list on the Standard List with a £60 million valuation, enriching Alessandro Zamboni of the Supply@ME Capital (SYME) fraud to the tune of £21 million. This detailed dossier explains why the FCA should hang its head in shame. This is a disgrace and shows that the Standard List regulator is just not fit for purpose.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Give Me Moneysupermarket, that's (Possibly) What I Want
Hello Share Mongers. Regular readers of my humble scribblings will know I favour comparison sites from the customer’s point of view. What’s not to like about competitors for our custom striving to be top of the ‘cheapest service’ lists? But shareholders in comparison sites also benefit from the comparison game.- By Malcolm Stacey |

LifeSafe Holdings – “pleased to announce” retail offer, how ‘pleasing’ is the position for shareholders here though?

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Tern vs Verditek vs Tingo and the race to zero
You find me waiting for the most unreliable man in the world. No, not Darren but the Greek carpenter. All is explained. I look at Caracal Gold (GCAT), Tingo (FRAUD), Tern (TERN), Verditek (VDTK), Supply@ME Capital (SYME) and Zamboni's new float Regtech Open Project whose £60 million valuation is such a joke surely the FCA must act to stop the con.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Wood Group gets simpler and stronger: Buy
It is not an easy market out there, but not an impossible one either. Wood Group (WG.) has been one of my year-to-date best performers. I know the headline share price is not even up 10%, but I did sell the majority of my shares after the potential bid approach…and then I bought all the shares back at what looks to be a pretty attractive price three months ago (after sharing it all on the website, naturally). As I shared here last month, recent progress seems to be solid and today’s formal update even includes an observation that it is “increasing our full year guidance for the year for revenue and EBITDA”.

Mirriad Advertising – interims, arguing “a strong footing moving into H2 and beyond” is CEO Stephan Beringer fooling himself or trying to fool everyone else?
Describing itself as a “leading in-content advertising company” Mirriad Advertising (MIRI) has announced results for the first half of the 2023 calendar year, including CEO Stephan Beringer emphasising that “even before enabling programmatic trading, we already work with nine of the top twenty US advertisers… also pleased to see an increase in repeat bookings in H1 from large customers in the automotive, retail, FMCG, food & beverage, healthcare and financial services industries”. So why currently a further share price decline in response, to 1.3p, then Stephan?…- By Steve Moore |

Turner Pope just cannot learn from its past errors – pathetic Powerhouse placing
If I had any sympathy for the Mitchell Brothers, the chaps running Turner Pope, it was on the basis that it was on the basis that they had learned from their past errors and were, enjoying a Damascene Conversion. Today came evidence that the Mitchells have learned nothing and they thus deserve the financial ruin heading their way.- By Tom Winnifrith |

That became August 21 pre-market. Then half an hour before the market opened yesterday that became 5PM US Time after hours. At 4.30 PM….

Wyld Networks – further dilution for Tern’s stake as a Wyld fund raise looks nailed on: price target for Tern slashed again
In his article yesterday about Tern (TERN) Nigel highlighted Wyld’s weasel words that “the company expects to have sufficient funds to meet its obligations throughout 2023”. If Wyld’s accounts were prepared under IFRS accounting standards or if Wyld were listed on a “Recognised” Swedish stock exchange which would require the use of IFRS, it would not be able to get away with such weasel words but Wyld uses “Swedish Accounting Standards Board’s general guidelines BFNAR 2012:1 Annual Accounts and Consolidated Financial Statements”.- By Tom Winnifrith, the Sheriff of AIM |

Smarttech247 Group – a growth buy?...
Smarttech247 Group (S247) describes itself as a provider of AI-enhanced cybersecurity services. With cybersecurity a clear growth area and AI seemingly currently the ‘hot’ thing, a prevailing circa £45 million market cap might be considered worthy of a trade even if there was not currently encouragement and promise from the financials. Here there are those too though.- By HotStockRockets |
