The View From The Montana Log-Cabin As Gold Bounces; Fed In A Jackson’s Hole
Jordan Roy-Byrne of TheDailyGold.com, our favourite technical analyst, has been saying for a few days that Gold was due a bounce. It duly did – on pretty awful US PMI data on Wednesday – and closed the week back over $1900 at $1915, compared to the prior week’s $1890. The miners followed suit – has a low been put in yet?- By Nigel Somerville |

Concerns regarding Roquefort Therapeutics and Ashington Innovations, Patricia Murray writes to the FCA
Patricia Murray of Liverpool has written to the FCA over both Ashington Innovations (ASHI) and Roquefort Therapeutics (ROQ). How a serious regulator can ignore what follows defies belief. Both companies are clearly utterly uninvestable. Ms Murray writes:- By Tom Winnifrith |

BREAKING: Ashington Innovations - the curious links to alleged and actual criminals of its founders
I have already demonstrated beyond all doubt that the two proposed purchases of Ashington Innovations (ASHI) for £170 million are both insolvent and mired in red flags linked to the struck off dentist and scammer Ajan Rejinald. But what of the two men behind Ashington, Jason Drummond and Jason Smart. Read on and weep.- By Tom Winnifrith |

A Bear Growls: Nine Bumper Reasons Why You Should Sell Rather Than Buy Just Now!
I note Malcolm Stacey’s column today on why you should buy now, in line with the old adage of sell in May and go away, come back on St. Leger’s Day. But I have to take issue with that, especially right now. I have immense respect for Malcolm – he was, after all, right all along in our early days: a lone bull in a wood full of bears. But on this occasion I really must beg to differ – as reader will know, the writers on this fine website are not paid to agree so here is why, in my view, that his nine cited reasons are wrong.- By Nigel Somerville |

Restore plc – recovery value playing out...
Describing itself as “the UK's leading provider of digital and information management and secure lifecycle services”, Restore plc (RST) recently announced results for the first half of the 2023 calendar year noting “a difficult period” but that “current trading remains in line with the board's revised expectations to achieve an adjusted profit before tax of £31m for the full year”. On HotStockRockets, we noted that we considered that suggested recovery value from a then 142p offer price of the shares just over a week ago. The shares are already now at 180p.- By HotStockRockets |

Nine Bumper Reasons Why you Should Buy Rather than Sell Just Now.
Hello Share Shunters. That old saw: Go away in May and come back on Leger Day has rarely worked in the past. But it’s been spot on this year. On the share markets we’ve had the most boring summer of all time. But will things change at the start of September when the classic race is held?- By Malcolm Stacey |

Zenova: a boastful fisherman wants you to say how clever he is after piss poor interims
The boastful fisherman in this case is Peter Brailey who has texted me repeatedly from the side of some dreary canal where he is spending the day boasting about how big a Roach he almost caught. Peter wants me to remind you about how on 6 October 2021 he warned you HERE that Zenova (ZED) was all hype and no substance. The market cap then was £18 million. Today, at 5p, it is just £4.8 million. But “who’s a clever boy then” warns it will get worse.- By Tom Winnifrith |

BREAKING EXPOSE: BlueJay turned down far less dilutive finance ahead of bucket shop placing
When a company opts to dilute its own shareholders more than it needs to you know that management is running the enterprise for itself rather than the business owners and this is a terrible red flag. That brings us to BlueJay Mining (JAY) which, 7 weeks after raising £1.3 million at 1.7p, on 23 August raised just £600,000 at a penny. It did not need to as I today reveal.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Can you guess what CMC Markets said on a quiet Friday in the late summer?
A few years ago, Barbra Streisand observed in an interview that she “wakes up most mornings at 6:30 a.m. to check the opening in New York”, and observes the she’s “earned millions trading stocks - several million between 1998 and 2000 alone”. Apparently, her trick is to “be up at 6:30, light a fire, have a hot chocolate and trade until 1 p.m.”. Judging by its comments earlier today, perhaps CMC Markets (CMCX) should try to sign her up as a client…- By Chris Bailey |
