AIM-listed Advanced Oncotherapy (AVO) has this morning announced another loan conversion by its white knight death spiral funding provider Bracknor. The lack of liquidity of late makes it hard to imagine that Bracknor is having an easy time offloading. Meanwhile the shares have again slipped and now sit below the threshold at which an EGM to reduce the nominal price of the shares is triggered. Oh dear….

I hadn’t heard of BNN Technology (BNN) until last Wednesday, when the shares tanked nearly 30% without any news, forcing the company to issue a statement to the effect that revenue was expected to grow this year, the prelims for year to Dec 2016 will be out before Easter and that the company was sitting on £28 million cash at the beginning of the year. I thought this warranted a closer look.

I looked at MySQUAR (MYSQ) recently commenting on the apparent conflict between the broker, Beaufort Securities, and its lender, Sandabel Capital (HERE). The good news is that the Sandabel deal has now come to an end. The less good news is that the average PI here has just been played like a fiddle with a classic pump and dump and it is worth taking a closer look.

I always seem to come away from the UK Investor Show having found at least a couple of companies which I had never looked at previously piquing my interest, and this year’s event was no exception.

Following the profit warning and announcement of the forthcoming Timegrand deal back in February that I covered HERE, Boxhill Technologies (BOX) announced the completion of that deal late yesterday afternoon. Unsurprisingly, the deal raises more questions than it answers and I’m beginning to wonder when Allenby will say enough is enough. Let’s take a closer look at the RNS.

Grafenia (GRA) has updated that “revenues from print in March were strong, significantly ahead of both our internal budget and the same period last year” and that “the board expects full year results to be in line with revised market expectations for revenue, EBITDA and net cash” - yet the shares presently remain at a depressed 6.5p. Why?...

Hello Share Slicers. If you've visited Germany in the last few years, as I have, you’ll be impressed by the prosperity which swirls around the place. People driving posh cars, while smartly dressed (compared to Blighty anyway where the standard is admittedly exceptionally low). There is a fully-listed British property company which has a load of business parks in Germany - including the prosperous cities of Berlin, Frankfurt and Munich. It is doing them up to attract bigger rents.

Writing on hobby products group, Hornby (HRN) last week I concluded that it remained on the watchlist for recovery but that I’d still want further financial evidence of turnaround progress. Some though don’t believe this will be delivered – and are now demanding change…

A prolonged period of low interest rates will tempt banks to take greater risks and sound the death knell for final salary pensions, the International Monetary Fund has warned. A new study from the IMF said a continuation of the cheap borrowing environment seen since the global financial crisis a decade ago would pose a “significant challenge” to financial institutions and force them to make fundamental changes to their business models. Although interest rates have recently started to rise in the US, the IMF said Japan’s experience suggested an imminent and permanent end to the current low interest rate environment could not be guaranteed.

Yesterday, we asked you to caption a photo that YouTube chose for our video of Galileo Resources (GLR) at the UK Investor Show which caught Colin Bird, also of Jubilee Platinum (JLP) and Xtract Resources (XTR), in a particularly animated pose. The quality was high, but the winner of the Caption Contest is:

In a mini-series of tales of unlikely comebacks, I covered Dukemount Capital (DKE) earlier today and now look at Path Investments (PATH), although from first glance, it looks like the only ones who are on a Path to riches here are the management team.

We had some good competition...

As a kid, I used to watch the first three Rocky films pretty much on loop as I love a feel-good comeback story and I note that the Standard Segment of the Official List is fast becoming the home for such stocks. Unfortunately, I doubt the ones I’ll cover today are going to have the beating of Apollo Creed or Clubber Lang. First up is Dukemount Capital (DKE).

Having featured in the ‘New Year bury bad news stakes’ and with questions having been raised about CFO Nilesh Jagatia, I note shares in Inspirit Energy (INSP) remain in the doldrums following half-year results announced on 31st March. I also note the announcement was made at 9.49am. An attempt to miss the usual 7am RNS scrutiny?...
