Tungsten still a stonking short

Tungsten Corporation (TUNG) shares have had a good run since July, rising over 50% to hit 70p this week. At today’s 67p the market cap is £86 million. That is way too high for a company forecast to lose £12-14 million on sales of £30 million in the year to April 2017.

The fundamental attraction of gold - look at US Government debt

You wonder why all sensible folks want some exposure to physical gold? It is simple. I bring you the explanation provided by John Embry a senior figure at the world's biggest precious metals investor Sprott. To quote Voltaire: “Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value. Zero.”

Boxhill Technologies: Interims out – no I-Spy certificate for me!

Following my recent I-Spy interims preview of Boxhill Technologies (BOX) HERE, interims were announced on Thursday, so it’s time to work out whether I managed to tot up 1,000 points and can apply to Big Chief I-Spy for my certificate.

ShareProphets readers tips for 2016 competition - end September update

Having asked for readers tips for 2016 for the amazing prize of lunch or dinner with Tom Winnifrith (or the chance to fob it off on someone you don't like) HERE, the following is a monthly update on performance (to be eligible needed to have selected a buy & sell pick and those to be listed on the LSE or on the AIM Casino)...

Worried About Those German Banks? Probably There's No Need.

Hello Share Spinners. Well, that was a dismal end to the week. All caused by problems with the German banks. It seems however fast the Footsie goes up, there is always another whammy waiting round the corner. But let’s not be too despondent. This could be another of those things the City does so well - the nine day wonder. Soon the German bank crisis will be forgotten and we should see our shares rising stoically once more.

A hot share tip Friday at 2PM for just a fiver... and its not Deutsche Bank

Well as it happens Germany's largest bank is a stock where we have a clear view: SELL! It is in dire straights but its shares still look hugely overvalued. So that is a free tip from us: short Deutsche.  But that uncertainty has created other opportunities in the market and we have one such opportunity for you coming up on Friday 30th September (tomorrow) at 2 PM sharp.

Igas – dire interims, bondholders take box seat as covenant breach looms

Rarely does one find good news in results which are released at the last minute, and in the case of Igas the recent record of fairly prompt reporting suggested that leaving the interims to deadline day would be a bad omen. This morning’s numbers and, more to the point, update on the bond situation reads badly – for all the positive spin applied. The numbers aren’t good, a bond covenant breach is expected in the second half of next month and then there is the question of how long it may be before the cash simply runs out.

Zamano – mobile network operator changes, again TIMBERRR!

Having earlier this year gone from “positive performance in revenue & profit” to group contribution margins “lower”, Zamano (ZMNO) stated in late August half-year results “we anticipate an improvement in operating performance during H2 2016 thanks to H1 advertising spend and continuing strong UK sales performance”. Now, it's updated that this anticipated improvement “will not be achieved”. And there’s worse...

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast - Moron investors in the Cloudtag fraud feel on top of the world

I start with the woes of Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank. Then on to why dogs leave it to the last minute to report results. As such I look at Strat Aero (AERO), Vislink (VLK), IGAS (IGAS), and Wolf Minerals (WLFE). I touch on Inspirit (INSP) as it runs out of cash and is - I gather  - not paying suppliers. I then look at the two frauds: Highlands Natural Resources (HNR) and Cloudtag (CTAG) where the morons are as happy today as the Quindell (QPP)  Morons where when those shares hit 650p. How the morons laughed at the silly old bears as they told us that £20 was on the cards. But of course those backing the Cloudtag fraud insist that it will be different this time.

Vislink – half-year results, TIMBERRR!

July profit warning meant results for the first half of 2016 from Vislink (VLK) were not going to be good but, on revenue 15% lower than in the corresponding 2015 period, at £22.6 million, a loss of £32.8 million!?! And there’s worse…

Strat Aero Interims - it is bust, plain and simple

Lying to your investors is bad. I suppose committing fraud is even worse. But advisers without morals such as Nomad SP Angel and broker Beaufort Securities do not care about such matters as long as they get paid. But that may pose a problem as interims today from Strat Aero (AERO) show that it is completely bust. That SP Angel and Belfort will sign off on an RNS like this says everything you need to know about them. The only thing they should be signing is a resignation letter as Strat is bankrupt both morally and financially.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast Special: How did Nomad Allenby sign off on Servision interims - it is bust, broke, worth 0 fecking pence

Not only does AIM Casino piece of Turkish Servision (SEV) now have the most expensive loan in AIM history - see HERE - but this company is also utterly bust. Amazingly Nomad Allenby and broker Belfort Securities have signed of on its results today. Shame on you chaps. You may not be able to read financial statements but I can and so talk you through why this company could call in the administrators as soon as this afternoon. Target price 0p.

Symphony Environmental Interims - Buy

Symphony Environmental Technologies (SYM) has announced results for the first half of 2016 and that “we look forward to the future with increased confidence”.

Nyota - is it bust yet? Real pain for those who fell for the recent ramping

Nyota Minerals (NYO) shares have been pushed ahead in recent days and weeks by the usual insane ramping that typifies the bottom end of the AIM Casino. Today came reality - final results which showed how the former management led by Richard "piggy" Chase had spunked all the cash. Those mugs who paid up to 0.07p in recent days must be feeling rather sore with the shares at 0.045 to sell... and still falling.

Servision - overtakes the fraud African Potash with the most expensive loan in AIM history - 33%

Servision (SEV) has today announced its interim results and they are dismal. The company is bust and why it's advisors (Nomad Allenby, broker Belfort Securities & PR himbo Christian Taylor Wilkinson at Cadogan Leander) do not call it a day and walk defies belief. It shows all three are morally bankrupt.The results are analysed in a bearcast special HERE. But I flag up in itw own right a loan Servision has taken from Yorkville which seems to be the new, most expensive loan , in AIM Casino history - at 33% - it is 5 percentage points dearer than the loan the FRAUD African Potash (AFPO) took out from Katrina Clayton, the wife of its FD. Frankly Servision would be better off borrowing on Christian T-W's credit card and splitting the difference.

San Leon at 44.75p - worth 101p to 120p says SP Angel in 100 page report ( you aren't meant to read, peasants)

Don't tell the compliance officer round at SP Angel that we have published this as he ( or she, I know not) is a dickhead who reckons that the fine research from that broker should go to institutions only and not peasants like you. But Zac "the knife" Phillips has today published a 100 page report on San Leon (SLE) in which he notes that the shares, now 44.75p after results this morning are worth 101p to 120p. We own the stock so are minded to agree that the shares are very cheap although Zac is perhaps a tad more optimistic than we are.

Result: African Potash FRAUD Caption Contest starring Lord Peter Hain & Lyin' Chris Cleverley

On Monday we asked you to supply suitable captions for the picture below featuring Lyin' Chris Cleverley the CEO, and expenses guzzling socialist hypocrite NED Lord Peter Hain of FRAUD African Potash (AFPO). After four weeks, Potash has still not sued me for libel as its fascist lawyers Memery Crystal promised so I guess it accepts that it is a fraud then.  Of course it is. Everyone knows that aprt from hapless Nomad Cantor Fitzgerald and the Oxymorons at AIM Regulation. Your suggested captions reflected that matter as you can see HERE. But the winner is:

Why do the Admirable Creighton Shares Keep Rising? Who Cares - If They Keep Going Up

Hello Share Fans. These days I find myself commending to your further investigation shares that I do not own myself more than shares that I do. One reason is that I feel it’s part of my job to explore promising companies which don’t always show up often on the City radar.

Filthy Forty Reporting Season Update: two down (suspended), six still to report as the clock runs down.

Ten days ago we identified ten of the (only) seventeen still-listed members of the ShareProphets AIM-China Filthy Forty which had a results reporting deadline of tomorrow (Fri 30 Sept) to meet. Actually, it was eleven as although Asian Citrus (ACHL) has a year-end of March it is dual listed in Hong Kong and only gets three months to report its finals there. But it won’t make it and has been suspended – as has MoneySwap (SWAP) which can’t get its accounts out on time. Which of the Filthy Forty are still to report, with just one day to go?
