A Snapshot of How Trump's Election Affected Gold Commodities and Major Markets Last Week

I am getting a bit "Trumped Out" - I think I would enjoy a day when he did not dominate the news. But folks keep writing on how he will change the world. Here is Sprott on The Donald and the markets. Over to the world's best known precious metals investment group.

Wild Rides Rides Again with Two Coppery Commendations which Are Not At All Wild

Hello Share Jumpers. When I suggested we take another look at the four British banks this week, I got a rather predictable comment from one of Shareprophets' most entertaining members, Wild Rides. You may have discovered from some of his other posts that Wilders dislikes the UK banks after burning his fingers on Lloyds Group (LLOY).

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: talking to baby Joshua and watching a film about submarines

The Mrs was off getting her hair down ahead of a Christmas Party, the Cloudtag (CTAG) morons were harassing innocent folks to get at me and I was watching a film about submarines with baby Joshua. What a day of domestic bliss. Meanwhile I look at gold stocks and Avocet Mining (AVM) in particular. Then at Mosman Oil & Gas where the City's top oil analyst Zac "the Knife" Phillips needs fisking, Milestone Group (MSG), Avanti (AVN) and Strat Aero (AERO)

Avanti hurtles towards the trap door

Having seen Cloudtag (CTAG) demonstrate one of the golden rules of share trading here is another: run for the hills when a company starts messing with its creditors. Step forward Avanti Communications (AVN). 

DWHT

Dewhurst – performance from “materially below” to “positive… compared with current market expectations”

Previously writing on Dewhurst (DWHT) on a February AGM update, I noted further negative macro read-across. The company has now updated including “whilst seasonal effects mean the company's second half is traditionally stronger than the first half, the effect in FY16 has been greater than usual”

The People's Operator - if this is not insider dealing on AIM what is?

By shortly after 10 AM today shares in The People's Operator (TPOP) had crashed by 30% from 16.5p mid to just 11.5p. By midday there had been a marginal recovery as some morons went bottom fishing. But there had been fewer than 50,000 shares traded. At 12.33 PM the company published a catastrophic RNS. If this is not insider dealing what is?

Cloudtag - has dodgy Andrew Regan's Corvus Capital dumped its shares?

Andrew Regan, the man who shot to fame as he was caught at a Motorway Service Station trying to buy stolen documents relating to a bid for the Co-Op, was also the man who brought Cloudtag (CTAG) to market with his Corvus Capital vehicle owning 28.8 million shares (just under 20% of the equity) on admission. But...

Odd One Out Contest Result - it was all about tax

I thought last week's odd one out contest was a piece of cake but no-one got it right although one person was getting there. Okay: it is all about tax if you think about the four images below.

The new era of status quo rejection is just getting underway, itExit anyone?

In the US the Left has a lot of soul searching to do, as does the Right. Trump wasn’t the Republican’s preferred choice and they fought him tooth and nail all the way. In terms of the traditional Left vs Right rivalry, both sides lost this election.

Strat Aero - shares sliding - it is placing ahoy

By my maths Strat Aero (AERO) now has cash of er...about...roughly...sweet FA. It is completely out of cash and continues to burn cash and indeed when publishing results that were drowning in red ink on September 30th the management were reported as admitting that it needed to place before Christmas. I should cocoa. You don't need the brains of Cheryl Cole to work that one out.

21st Century Technology – “New Contract” follows “Contract renewal”, but caveat emptor…

21st Century Technology (C21) “is pleased to announce that it has been selected by OFJ Connections Gatwick Airport to provide integrated real-time passenger information and connected bus systems”. The shares have currently responded more than 14% higher to 3p – though this comparing to 5p early this year…

Time to Re-Visit the Banks? Yes, I Rather Think So

Hello Share Plungers. As usual, when raising the thorny issue of whether banks are ever going to get back on track after the trauma of 2008, I am attacked by the symptoms of nervousness. But I still think all British banks will see fairly hefty share rises over the next few years. This is partly because outrageous fines issued by interfering busybodies and compensation claims will surely start to dry up.

Paranoid Cloudtag Moron on twitter reports Tom Winnifrith to the FCA - jeepers I am quaking

I really do think that this particular Cloudtag (CTAG) owning moron needs to take hisd medication. I have spent a relaxing weekend making Christmas puddings. He has spent a weekend franticly accusing someone else who tweets about Cloudtag in a bearish way of being me. It gets better...

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: 4 bubbles that are a bursting

The reference to Lego and the Daily Mail is HERE. In today's podcast I look at four bubbles that are bursting in a demonstrable way: bonds, residential property, crowdfunding - where the returns are shockingly bad - and health wristbands.

Video: Peter Schiff on carnage in the bond markets post Trump

Folks have focussed on how shares have zoomed since Donald Trump won but what about the bond market which saw its worst week for five years? What does that mean and will it continue? Yes it will. That is the warning of libertarian hero and perma bear Peter Schiff in his latest podcast.

Cloudtag - Do what Bruce says and run to the hills

Any lingering doubts that may have been harboured by bears of Cloudtag (CTAG) were dispelled last week by its tacit admission that it had misled the market earlier in the year when it boated of a firm $5.2 million sale to be completed this year, which has now turned out to be a phantom as predicted.

Sula - renews exploration license: our tip 30% up in 2 weeks but more to come

Sula Iron & Gold  (SULA), has announced the renewal of the mineral Exploration Licence held by Sula's 100% owned Sierra Leone subsidiary, Blue Horizon Limited, covering all of the Company's historic, existing and planned exploration activities and sites, which are all in Sierra Leone.

Weekend Odd One Out Contest

Okay this is easy. Just look at the four images below and say which is the odd one out and why. Two hints. The man in picture two (working clockwise) likes spotted dick with lashings of custard and the man in picture three we are thinking about is the one in the tree. Answers in the commpents section below by midnight Sunday.

Filthy 40 Aquatic Foods – Q3 trading update

Shares in ShareProphets AIM-China Filthy Forty play Aquatic Foods (AFG) put on 35% on Friday, following release of a third quarter trading update. Drilling through some of the numbers they seem to be impressive, begging the question of why an apparently profitable and cash-generative company which is drowning in cash worth about three times its market capitalisation would be considering its dividend policy, having chopped the half-year payment by 71%.

Take advantage of the crash in precious metals prices

It was a real rollercoaster ride for precious metals and shares last week, following the results of the US elections and a surprise win for Donald Trump, but this could present some great buying opportunities.
