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....

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…

MYSQ

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.

SCGL

Reason to sell MySQUAR No. 136: A partnership with even more of a dog!

Readers will know I have no love for MySQUAR (MYSQ) for reasons outlined earlier today; however, I had to laugh at yesterday’s announcement of an MOU agreed with Sealand Capital Galaxy (SCGL) as it is arguably an even dodgier company than MySQUAR – clearly a match made in heaven.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: MySquar I accuse you of securities fraud & why UKOG is fecked

I go through the timeline in detail. It is quite clear that the 31 July placing by MySquar (MYSQ) was securities fraud. Why the Nomad and broker have not quit in light of the trading statement today defies belief. But I guess this is the World's Most Successful Growth Market. I then look at Character Group (CCT) and why I think that the reaction to today's statement is overdone. Then it is onto UK Oil & Gas and I explain why its shareholder list and market cap pose a problem as it urgently tries to do a placing to keep the lights on after yesterday's dire news. Finally I urge you all to read today's statement from Countryside Properties (CSP) which tells you in black and white how much trouble the housing market is in.

DOM

Forget uncertainty, we insist you eat more pizza says Domino's, but buy the shares?

Clearly it goes without saying that if you want a quality pizza in London then you should be going to Wedge Issue rather than to your local Domino's (DOM), but it is to the latter's Q3 trading update we must turn, which is a bit of a headscratcher.

MYSQ

Reason to sell MySQUAR No. 135: Shocking trading update - pre-placing lies ramp all too clear

The reason for the deafening silence emanating from uber-dog MySQUAR (MYSQ) became all too clear this morning as it issued a shocking trading announcement which makes clear that revenue has fallen off a cliff. Surely something should have been mentioned at the time of the placing in late-July?

Exclusive: AIM Kills ZAI as a Nomad - the full story the LSE is desperate you do not hear

At 5.45 PM yesterday Denzil Jenkins of the AIM Regulation team called Nomad ZAI. No-one answered so he left a message on its answerphone informing the Nomad that it was to lose its Nomad status at 6 PM that day and that its clients would be contracted at that time with the news. Jenkins followed this up with an email saying that ZAI could appeal but when you are going to lose all your clients what is the point? In fact the events of yesterday are just part of a story which shows AIM in a terrible light as a secretive and oppressive body covering its own failings with scapegoating and showing no regard for natural justice or any sense of fairness.

FRR

Frontera Resources - sell while stocks last

Texan oil company Frontera Resources (FRR) has been relieving retail investors of their cash for over 12 years now. In that time, it has blown a staggering $490 million on unsuccessfully attempting to extract oil from Georgia.

Woodford - the Redemptions begin in earnest, Jupiter Pulls

I flagged up at the weekend why Neil "nomates" Woodford might be just a couple mmore high profile disasters away from disaster in terms of a flood of redemptions. Well it appears that some are not waiting for the implosion of Purplebricks and another Woodford car crash.

HAYD

Haydale – up to £9m fundraising on (piss poor) results release day...TIMBER!!

AIM-listed Haydale (HAYD) joined Applied Graphene (AGM) on the heavily discounted fundraising trail yesterday from the graphene sector of AIM (albeit it has other products as well). Not only has it announced its full year results to June, it offered the begging bowl at not less that 120p per share. Given that the stock closed last night at 176p, it suggests that the company was expecting a frosty reception. At the low point the stock was trading down 54.5p at 121.5p before a recovery to 125.5.

UKOG

UK Oil & Gas: I love the smell of burning share portfolios in the morning - timber!

Please do not tell me that there is no insider dealing on AIM. Shares in Uk Oil & Gas (UKOG) were up and down like a whores drawers yesterday but it was more down than up. Then at 5.18 it announced an "operational update." It was and is bad news however lyin' Steve Sanderson tries to polish the turd..
