March-announced 2016 results from restaurant group Tasty (TAST) included that “the directors believe the group's core 'Wildwood' brand remains attractive to customers”, but that “trading since year has proved challenging and the directors are now expecting headline operating profit for 2017 to be below that achieved in 2016”. Hopefully the warning was heeded as the shares are currently further lower on the back of a “Trading Statement” announcement…

I so enjoy misquoting my fellow Anglo Irishman Mr Wilde. He knew a bit about the inside of a jail cell and that brings me to Telit Communications (TCM). Oozi cats, aka Uzi Katz, has "temporarily" (my arse) left Telit Communications (TCM) following the Boston fraud revelations but this is not the first time that the company's officers have had a spot of bother with the law. Meet Avigdor Kelner.

As followers of Naibu (NBU) know there is nothing stopping the CEO of an AIM listed company being in prison while remaining in office. After all this is the world's most successful growth market and the head of the Oxymorons at AIM Regulation, Mr Marcus Stuttard, really is a top banana. As such fans of Telit Communications (TCM) will not worry a jot about this bombshell from infamous bear raider Lucian Miers, the Bard of the Boleyn.

The talents of Ruth Veronique Katz/Cats the wife of Telit Communications (TCM) boss Oozi/Uzi know no bounds. She is the owner of showjumping ponies which allow her daughter to compete for Israel. She owns a company producing arthouse films. Back in the early nineties it seems as if she, or someone born on the same day with the same name married to a man of the same name, had expertise in real estate fraud, as I revealed earlier today HERE. But still Ruth marches on, slaving away as a, no doubt well paid, employee of Telit. What does she do? Over to LinkedIn....

The 2005 flotation of Telit Communications (TCM) will - with hindsight - be seen as yet another badge of shame for AIM, the casino which laughably brands itself as the world's most successful growth market. Until 2004 the CEO of Telit & the companies it bought was, in official documents such as THIS, calling himself Uzi Katz. By the time of the IPO that was Oozi Cats. Let us now turn to section 6.7 of that document.

Following our barrage of revelations yesterday about the Boston fraudsters - Uzi and Ruth Katz (aka Oozi & Ruth Cats), Telit Communications (TCM) has announced that its CEO Uzi/Oozi is to go on a "leave of absence." Uzi ain't coming back.

Sometimes geographical location can be enough to put off investors, but in a lot of cases that is unjustified and means that companies operating in these areas can represent good value for money.

It is just conceivable that there were two Israeli couples in Boston in the late 1980s - Uzi & Ruth Veronique Katz with the chap born in 1961 and the bird having a March 17 birthday. One went on to be the CEO and the art curator at Telit (TCM) the other were fraudsters. So what are the odds? A statistics lesson follows for you cynics (Leon Boros I am talking about you!):

Following a recent profit warning, so tries to emphasise “transitional year”, publishing group Quarto (QRT) has announced results for the first half of 2017… as well as an “attractive” price takeover approach…

Hello Share Japers. The riddle over quite why IQE shares keep on rising is no nearer to being solved. Given the lack of news and lack of confirmation of swirling rumours about a big deal with Apple, you would expect the recently-rocketed share price to level off. If not degenerate into the usual ‘lack of news slide’. But each day I log on I am delighted, though at the same time rather alarmed, to see the share price scale new heights.

By now the newly appointed Nomad to Telit Communications (TCM) that is to say FinnCap will be very much aware of the confusion about its CEO Oozi Cats whose real name is Uzi Katz and his Mrs, Ruth Veronique, and a couple of fellow Israelis with the same names and birthdays who took flight/skipped bail to avoid facing trial for real estate fraud in Boston in 1991. Natch this is all a big coincidence.

I can reveal that papers have this afternoon been lodged in Dublin with Conroy Gold & Natural Resources (CGNR) calling for a second GM to install three new directors: Paul Johnson, Patrick O'Sullivan and Gervaise Heddle. But after the sodomising of democracy that was the last GM, this time the rebels are also calling for the sacking of Professor Richard Conroy and his sidekick Maureen Jones. I will be going to this GM to back the rebels. The Sheriff will get his man, Prof Con you are on notice!

Since I previously updated in July, shares in payment services company Earthport (EPO) had been heading higher, with it also announced “Earthport Partners with Kotak Mahindra Bank”. However, they are currently slipping back on an “Earthport Plc expands into Nigeria” announcement…

Credit where credit is due. Andalas Energy (ADL) the AIM dog created to fund the lifestyle of Dave "Rule Breaker" Whitby has announced that it has signed a legally binding deal to develop the Jambi-1 30+MW independent gas-fired wellhead power facility in Jambi Province, Indonesia and to procure gas from Pertamina, the global fortune 500 national oil company. Andalas will have a 49% stake in the project and state owned construction outfit PT PP Energy will have 51%. So far so good but hang on Henry!

Having been appointed as Nomad and broker to the highest profile AIM company of the week, Telit Communications (TCM) at 7.01 AM yesterday, Mr Stuart Andrews & Mr Richard Chambers of Finncap and their colleagues must be shitting briicks following today's quite stunning revelations earlier about Mr Oozi Cats/Uzi Katz, his Mrs Ruth and events in Boston 25 years ago. Or maybe it is just another couple holding Israeli passports with the same names and birthdays who were involved in multiple frauds?

Kefi Minerals (KEFI) has its flagship operation, the Tulu Kapi gold mine ( to be) in Ethiopia. One by one the checklist of things needed to complete to get this mine into production has been dealt with.

Yesterday I discussed at length the woes of what was one of the largest companies on AIM, Telit Communications (TCM) where boss Oozi Cats sold £24 million of shares on May 25 - 24 hours ago the stock plunged for a range of reasons. Now here is the most amazing and embarrassing coincidence, meet an Israel couple who fled US justice in 1991. This must be so embarrassing for Oozi and his Mrs - Ruth Veronique Cats, it is just such an amazing coincidence.

I know, I know...I do have a bit of a perma love-up with Randgold Resources (RRS), London's largest listed gold company but as it is a year since I wrote my latest paean I felt an update was overdue following last Thursday's numbers.

I’m not a huge fan of EVR Holdings (EVRH) but I have to give a hat-tip to those behind this ‘warrant selling machine’ for one of the best ramps I’ve seen in recent times. Congrats to all concerned.

On the back of real bad news & disclosure, I suggested a lack of confidence in the top brass of Real Good Food (RGD) HERE. I thus note with interest today an announcement entitled “Board Changes”…
