Boxhill Technologies: Oink, oink - troughing of the highest order
I noticed that Boxhill Technologies (BOX) issued a notice of its AGM on Tuesday asking for approval of a significant option scheme, but thought I’d wait to see the detail in the actual notice before commenting. Not good!

Wizz Air - The Ryanair of the East posts top results: Buy!
Those who have read our coverage of Fastjet (FJET) on this website know that we have no qualms about warnings investors away from worthless airlines. But I believe there are worthwhile alternatives, and Wizz Air (WIZZ) happens to be one of them. The airline today posted record Q1 results.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast The blessed Mel for Dad but Steve Moore & Gary Newman fired!
I had to buy a copy of the Guardian for Dad today and carry it home through the streets from the newsagent. How I am shamed in front of my neighbours. Meanwhile dad is reading books I own by Peter Hitchens, Niall Ferguson and Melanie Phillips and is loving them, as his inner reactionary is exposed. On the markets I look at Servision (SEV), Xtract Energy (XTR) - Steve Moore and Gary Newman you are FIRED! - Gulf Keystone (GKP), Taihua (FRAUD), Oxford Pharma (OXP), Judges Scientific (JDG) and another bad day for disgraced Roger "Ramper" Lawson of ShareSoc, Kennedy Ventures (KENV) and finally the poltroons stock of choice for today, Nyota (NYO).

Judges Scientific – despite some recent “strong bookings”, it’s profit warning ahoy!
Having warned in May that I considered shares in scientific instruments group, Judges Scientific (JDG) a bargepole at 1500p following an “AGM Statement” announcement, I now note them currently more than 12% lower today, at around 1300p, on the back of a “Trading Update” announcement. Hmmm…

FastForward - ramptastic update ahead of placing: but the numbers do not add up
In this , the 29th week of 2016, over-ramped bubble stock FastForward Innovations (FFWD) has just issued its 43rd RNS of the year. Pump, pump, pump...the dump is on its way. As a bonus the numbers in today's statement simply do not add up at all. It is pure shite but maybe the morons will buy it because another placing is on the way. Today's update concerns a Chinese Company called Yooya in which FastForward has invested.

Challenger Acquisitions – Good news, some money…..but just a couple more questions
Potentially good news coming out of Challenger Acquisitions (CHAL) this morning, although it does beg a few questions if you don’t mind me adding them to my list, Mark?

Xtract Resources– Wow, could Jan have written a worse RNS??
Just when the long-suffering shareholders of Xtract Resources (XTR) thought things couldn’t get any worse, they’ve been absolutely stunned by this morning’s RNS. Well, they say it’s good to get all the bad news out at once, right? Let’s take a look at it in detail.

China fraud: Haike Chemical loses CFO. Uh Oh…..are we on a familiar path to oblivion?
Oh dear. One of the traits of the China Frauds is that so often the precursor to the wheels coming off the subterfuge is the resignation of the finance director. And so this morning’s announcement from ShareProphets AIM-China Filthy Forty play Haike Chemical (HAIK) that its Chief Financial Officer stepped down on Monday with immediate effect “for personal reasons” is a stand-out Red Flag. So is the tardy announcement.

Galliford Try, Kicked in the Teeth by Brexit Could Be Worth a Try
Hello Share Swaggers. I've been looking at shares which suffered rather too much in the light of the Brexit vote. This kind of unlucky stock may now be a bargain, and some have already made big strides towards restoring their former glories. Today I look at one of my favourite house building companies, Galliford Try (GFRD).

Golden Saint – Licence Renewal….in two weeks
AIM-listed POS Golden Saint Resources (GSR) has announced that it I to renew its three exploration licences in Sierra Leone and that it will be making arrangements to pay the fees over the course of the next two weeks. But the detail of the RNS reveals just how desperate the company was for cash at the back end of 2015, and seems to suggest also that there wasn’t exactly a queue around the block outside the Sierra Leone National Minerals Agency to compete for these obviously highly prospective plots.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast - I feel old after ante natal class and more Horse Hill ramping
I spent the morning at an ante natal class with the Mrs. Hell's teeth I am a feminist don't you know? But the whole experience left me feeling just rather old and I discuss why. Then it is onto today's ramptastic news from Horse Hill and I explain what it actually means. I waltz through Gulf Keystone (GKP) - bear squeeze - Stanley Gibbons (SGI) - recovery play? - and Guscio (GUSC) - Nigel Wray play. Then it is onto Tern (TERN), Gable (GAH), IGAS (IGAS) and Golden Saint (GSR) where I discuss why today's RNS really is just bollocks and how bulk sampling really works.

DP Poland – trading update emphasises “confidence”, but what about valuation?
Last commenting on the company with the exclusive right to Domino's Pizza stores in Poland, DP Poland (DPP), I was sceptical of the valuation (and management greed). However, a “Trading Statement” announcement today sees the shares further higher. Hmmm…

IG Group - Why don't more of us own shares in this top quality business?
IG Group (IGG) is a company I’ve long admired and whose shares I’ve occasionally purchased on behalf of those I’ve worked for. It’s a truly unique business and has ploughed its own way through financial market volatility, achieving record results. The only question remains why so many of us who occasionally use this type of service, and so understand how the business works, aren’t invested in it too.

Imaginatik – shares down 32% on no news: statement needed!
Rob Terry darling, AIM-listed Imaginatik (IMTK) has seen its shares slide by 32% (last seen) this morning, yet there has been no news issued by the company since 28 June when it was announced that Rob Terry’s Quob Park Estate had seen its holding reduced to almost 5%. Surely a statement is needed to explain the share price movement.

Tern – placing at just 8p as share slide continues
AIM-listed jam-tomorrow investment company Tern plc (TERN) has announced yet another fundraising this morning – this time at just 8p per share, raising £0.525 million. That won’t have gone down too well with those who ponied up at 12p back in February when the company raked in £1.1 million, or those who contributed to the £0.72 million placing at 12p last August.

CloudTag – A disappointing “jam tomorrow” stock since 2013
Being one of the few writers on ShareProphets yet to comment on the stock du jour of rampers everywhere (see HERE for the full coverage), I thought I’d take a visit down memory lane and see what lessons one can learn from CloudTag’s (CTAG) history. Guess what, it’s been promising jam tomorrow from the beginning.
