When BCA's shares slump do not let broker N+1 Singer forget this....

Yesterday I produced some quality analysis on why shares in BCA MarketPlace (BCA) will collapse. Predictably the paid shills masquerading as City research analysts have responded. When BCA shares tank as they will inevitably do please do not let hapless broker N+1 Singer forget this ( the underline is mine and suggests that N+1 has not even bothered to read my note before responding with this horse...):

ITQ

InterQuest – return from suspension… but, with its management shysters, for how long?

Writing on InterQuest (ITQ) previously last month, I stated shares suspended… but greater hope for shareholders – and the shares are currently back trading on AIM following the appointment of a nominated adviser and broker. However, there remains a question of for how long?...

MSG

Milestone Group – surely not another dodgy share issuance?

On Wednesday at 2.13pm AIM-listed Milestone Group (MSG) knocked out a TR-1 RNS. Nothing unusual about that, but hang on – what about the dates?

GLEN

Be a Monarch of the Glen by Investing in a Share which may No longer Be a Stag at Bay

Hello Share Swappers. This old punter is not a fan of mining shares. Apart from British Energy and the big British banks, mining has always been my biggest loser. Whereas, the related sector of oil has done me proud. Think BG and Dragon Oil, all big winners for ShareProphets members. But, nevertheless, my selection today is a big miner.

CZN

Buy Curzon Energy at 8p - target 17p or 37p

Zac "the Knife" Phillips is, of course, the City's No 1 oil analyst and as we own shares in Curzon Energy (CZN) I see no problem in highlighting this most excellent piece of research. Okay, SP Angel is a retained broker so feel free to ignore this as PR marketing hogwash but Zac "the Knife" is no fool and is a man who writes what he thinks. Over to "the great one"

MySquar (target price 0p) - let's work when the cash runs out

The first pressing issue with MySquar (MYSQ) is whether it has committed securities fraud or merely driven a coach and horses through AIM Rules or both. I hope that either SP Angel or Beaufort will force it to reveal July sales numbers to give us an answer. The next question is when does it run out of cash? Here is my best estimate.

GOAL

Goals Soccer Centres – a month after interim results disappointment, “directorate change”

Following a 12th September interim results announcement which saw me consider it clearly tough operating conditions and (further) forecast downgrades ahoy, Goals Soccer Centres (GOAL) has now made a “Directorate Change” announcement…

RNO

Renold – again “Trading Update” = Profit Warning

Industrial chains and related power transmission products supplier Renold (RNO) has updated on trading including “the torque transmission division performed in-line with expectations. The Chain division delivered organic growth, but profitability was affected by machine break-downs at our Einbeck facility and by sustained increases in raw material costs”. Uh oh…

The £1.75 billion company that could go to zero - a major report from Tom Winnifrith

The red flags are obvious. The business model is one that could blow up with the asset bubble that has created it. Even in a best case scenario the valuation is absurd. Oh and Neil Woodford is a major investor. Need I say more. After Purplebricks (PURP) which is a nailed down zero, this is my number 1 short for the Autumn.

KEFI

KEFI Minerals - a buy as Tulu Kapi project progress continues

A quarterly operational update from KEFI Minerals (KEFI) sees it emphasised it’s “pulling together our project funding for the Tulu Kapi gold project in Ethiopia for the closing planned for this year”. This and construction catalysts upcoming go together with a current massive discount to potential net present value…

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: 18 minutes to the fit young mums

I am in a bit of a rush today. The Mrs has all day meetings so it is just me and Joshua. That means we get an extra 30 minutes at the fit young mums coffee morning. But what do I say to a FYM? And what might she say back. That is clearly the big issue of the day. After that I look at MySquar (MYSQ) after Darren's meeting last night, at UK Oil & Gas (UKOG) - placing at 2p? - Sound Energy (SOU) and Echo (ECHO) both slam dunk sells and similar to UKOG in many ways.I comment, en passant, on Renold (RNO) and the idea of pricing power and finally warn you that Telit (TCM) is indeed heading for 0p. And thank you for subscribing to ShareProphets. After 28 days we are within spitting distance of breakeven.

UNG

Universe Group – a roll-out commencement reassuring following interims? Er…

Point of sale, payment and on-line loyalty systems group Universe (UNG) has announced it has commenced the roll-out of its new Gempay 3 payment solution to fuel forecourts – and the shares have responded more than 5% higher. So, good news following recent interim results concern?...

Tom Winnifrith "well educated and well read" says MySquar boss Schaer as Pizza Hardman Atwater grills him

The first question at the LSE Asylum moron-fest with MySquar (MYSQ) boss Erik Schaer was about me. Apparently the old rogue thinks that I am "well educated and well read." Well he ain't wrong. But flattery will get him nowhere. I sent Pizza Hardman Darren Atwater along to grill him and the questions only mount.

SYNC

The Wages of Syncona is... Likely to be Loot from a Winner Somewhere Down the Line

Hello Share Chewers. Let’s have a peak at a relative newcomer to the stock market. This one is an investor in biotech companies. And it has the rare distinction of being supported by the famous Welcome Foundation, which has nearly four tenths of the company.

PANR

Zac "The Knife" on Pantheon Resources... exactly Mr Maestro

The Bulletin Board Morons are starting to froth once again about Pantheon Resources (PANR). I cannot see why. Its latest operational update is, at best, opaque. The City's No 1 oil analyst, Zac "The Knife" Phillips of SP Angel puts it far better than I can. Over to the maestro who opines: 

MYSQ

Beaufort on MySquar - is this the worst broker note of the year?

Clearly no-one told Belfort Securities that its star client in the fraud sector, MySquar (MYSQ) was going to have a disastrous lack of profits warning today which exposed how it had massively misled investors for months. Because yesterday it urged its clients to fill their boots at 4.02p with a 21p target. At least this shows that at Belfort the Chinese walls between research and broking have no chinks in them. The shares are now 2.98p and are worth 0p. Over to Belfort.... 

China Flag

ZAI scandal – the rush to sign up a new Nomad already under way….for some more than others?

In the wake of AIM’s shocking execution of ZAI Corporate Finance last night – announced not once but three times at 6.15pm – the collection of AIM-listed to-be-former clients of that Nomad firm has been keen to get a message out to the market that the search for a replacement is already well underway.

QUIZ

Quiz plc – “trading update”… but what about profit & cash?

Having IPO’d on AIM at 161p per share in July, shares in fast fashion womenswear retailer Quiz (QUIZ) initially rose towards 200p before recently sliding back towards 170p. However, having announced that it would release a trading update for the six months ended 30th September on 11th October, the stock rebounded to a 187p close prior to the announcement. The following updates with it currently retreating to 180p…

An Open Letter to SP Angel, Beaufort Securities and AIM Regulation re shamed MySquar

I have written a letter to Nomad SP Angel, broker Beaufort Securities and the oxymorons at AIM Regulation re shamed MySquar (MYSQ). Has it committed a massive breach of AIM Rules or Securities fraud or both and will anyone do anything about it. The letter follows:

MySquar - another marriage made in heaven: it's presenting to LSE Asylum members tonight. Or is it?

After today's shocking revelations from MySquar (MYSQ) only a complete anhd utter moron would consider buying the shares. Luckily for CEO Erik Schaer he is set to meet a few dozen of the stupidest people on this planet this very evening.
