Another property deal from Etaireia Investments (NEX: ETIP) announced yesterday and guess what, it’s yet another related party transaction. As one can see from the various pieces I’ve written on the company HERE, one shouldn’t have expected anything less.

Following my recent recommendations on Red Leopard Holdings (RLH), I note yesterday’s warrant exercise announcement which appears to me to mean that the recent investor, Chris Akers, has taken some money off the table already so think I’ll follow suit. Let me explain.

It is 7.46 AM, doors open in 45 minutes, his first talk is at 9 AM so how to kill time? Approve a few articles...the calm before the storm

This is becoming  routine. After hours on on Friday PrimaryBid announces a material placing opportunity for its members. This weekend it is LGO Energy (LGO) which has raised £2.2 million in a placing at 2.2p but is now offering a chance for ordinary investors to put up another £300,000 at the same price.

As I am on a train twixt Stacey Towers and the fantastic UK Investor Show at Westminster as I write, I don't have any specific research material to hand. But a few observations on how the new financial year may affect your bag might be useful.

The March edition of the UK Investor Show Magazine is live featuring 7 share tips, company profiles, interview with Richard Poulden of PCGE, why we fight fraud & fake news on Channel 4, Donald Trump, Marine Le Pen, a look at the banksters and much more.

There seems to be a lot happening and as a result this bearcast comes to you from Shipston. I will head back to London later tonight and hope to see you all at UK Investor Show tomorrow. Pro tem I comment on Corero (CNS), Minoan (MIN), Amryt (AMYT) and Wishbone (WSBN) - we own the last two on that list and are very happy to do so. I also comment on allegations made elsewhere by the "share blogger of the year." 

AIM-listed gold trading play Wishbone (WSBN) has announced the signing of a joint venture deal SION Honduras which will provide funding and expertise to existing small gold mines in Honduras so as to assist with the increase in production. The good news for Wishbone is that the deal involves all the output from those mines being supplied to Wishbone – at preferential prices – in a deal which runs for 30 years.

So the results are in from JackpotJoy (JPJ) and they look good…or do they?

I wrote about MySQUAR (MYSQ) at the start of the year (HERE) in part because I thought the share price was only going one way and nothing in the many announcements since including yesterday’s result have changed my stance; however, I did want to raise what I believe to be a massive conflict of interest involving its joint-broker, Beaufort Securities, and its lender, Sandabel Capital.

It’s been an absolute roller-coaster of a week for Sepura (SEPU) which is embroiled in a drawn-out takeover saga with Hytera Communications subject to competition delays. There were a number of interesting RNS’s worth commenting on this week but one in particular has my spoof antennae whirring. Were shareholders being told the whole story?

Ahead of another round tomorrow, at UK Investor Show 2016 there were five 'Dragon's Den' sessions where a number of CEOs each gave a pitch and three Dragons each picked one stock in which FIML invested £1,000. How have the dragons fared?...

Interims are out this morning for Nektan (NKTN), one of my Sell Picks of 2017, and despite a few green shoots continuing to develop, one wonders how shareholders will fare from the forthcoming funding round and essential balance sheet restructuring.

Hello Share Thrashers. For the last year or so, I’ve occasionally brought before you house builders. This is simply because supply is not keeping up with demand. And that is one of the biggest drivers of share prices that there is. We’ve covered many of the big bricks and mortar merchants on this glittering website, but I don’t think I’ve looked previously at M J Gleeson (GLE).

The last postal mailing of tickets for THE investor event of the year is Thursday Morning. So to grab your seat and join 3,000 others who want to make money from shares ACT NOW!

VSA is house broker to Obtala (OBT) so its assessment cannot be deemed to be impartial. However since I agree that the shares are cheap I bring you VSA's detailed initiation note below.

Rather surprisingly, at her suggestion, I have just had a coffee with PR Genius Steffi and I take everything I have said back. She is actually quite smart in absolute terms and relative to most in her industry she is we, er.. a genius. What a nice lady. I have resolved to be nice to her going forward even if she does spin for Golden Saint Resources (GSR) which is worthless. Elsewhere I look at the remarkable naivete of some Cloudtag (CTAG) shareholders even now. This is not a sin but I suggest they wise up a bit.

In an early 2015 ShareProphets article I observed that AO World (AO.), the self-styled ‘leading European online retailer of electrical products’, was an overpriced hope stock. Roll forward, via a series of critical articles on this website from a number of writers, we have a much lower share price.

Having previously updated on CloudCall (CALL) HERE, I note the integrator of voice communications into customer relationship management platforms has now announced results for the 2016 calendar year. These emphasise “a year of excellent progress for the business” and a “strong start to 2017”, though have currently seen the shares slip back towards 100p…

AIM-listed Milestone Group (MSG) has released an AGM statement – but it is not the voting result, it is the Chairman’s statement – to be delivered by Deborah White, who is (corporate governance Red Flag) also CEO. Of course, some of us think that there should have been a change at the helm some while back in the midst of the non-arrival of placing funds scandal which the company was, to say the least, tardy about ‘fessing up to.
