Ashington Innovations: Jason Drummond, a Police arrest and an article withdrawn
The individual who threatened me on my wedding anniversary as I discussed HERE was Jason Drummond, one of the co-founders of Ashington Innovations (ASHI) and as a result, I withdraw a recent article as Drummond insisted that the Police would take a very dim view of my journalism. Friday was not a day to give battle. Let me now add more colour to this episode including, what appears to me to be, a very misguided arrest by the Old Bill.- By Tom Winnifrith |

EXPOSE: As a rule of thumb Sound Energy *ALWAYS* fecks over its shareholders!
Sound Energy (SOU) issued an RNS on Friday morning indicating that £500,000 worth of convertible loan was being converted at a fixed price of 2.25p. At first glance this looks really strange, as the prevailing share price is 1.05p and hence the bondholder appears to be locking in a loss. However....- By Evil Banksta |

Re-reading the announcement from AIM-listed jam-tomorrow investment company Tern plc (TERN), calling a General Meeting to approve the issue of more confetti, I notice that there is a major omission, the significance of which underlines the slam-dunk sell status of this stock for me.- By Nigel Somerville, the Deputy Sheriff of AIM |

Two Medical Giants for Your Consideration as So Many of Us Approach the Final Curtain.
Hello Share Pals. As this old punter approaches the departure lounge of life, I’m reminded of two important trends for share shifters like us. There are many more people of my vintage and beyond than there used to be. While we are mostly all less healthy than before. In fact, the average age for death is coming down. That can only mean one thing for one important share sector.- By Malcolm Stacey |

Panther Metals – Convertible Loan Funding From A Poor Tip, But....
My “not for widows and orphans” tip for (sub-) Standard-listed Panther Metals (PALM) hasn’t worked out as I’d hoped. Yet. This has been exacerbated by the current nuclear winter at the bottom end of the market and yesterday the company announced a convertible loan funding package….uh-oh: a death spiral (and thus an automatic sell)? Er…..no.- By Nigel Somerville |

Johnson Matthey might be falling out of the FTSE 100, but it seems I am not the only one who wants to buy more shares...
The first day of a new month is always busy for me, as (boring) personal pension fund investors like myself are always all-over full month performance numbers and the like. And as it is a Friday, the school year has not started yet in the UK and the US is just about to have a three-day weekend, I thought I might be struggling a bit to find a company to write about. And then I saw Johnson Matthey (JMAT) shares up over 10% today.- By Chris Bailey |

Accsys Technologies – “made a strong start to the current financial year”, but what about now?…

The shares have recently been significantly recovering but are currently back towards 70p following a “trading update”.

Angling Direct (ANG) is a company that I actually like and have used myself to buy fishing tackle from, both in store and online, but what I’m less keen on is the market cap and struggle to see the value in it.- By Gary Newman |
