Shares in Smaller Firms Still Suffering from the Brexit Vote Could Rally Soon.

Hello Share Plasterers. Before the Brexit result, I opined that shares would topple, but then make a quick recovery. I didn’t realise then how the bounce back would be much more than a recovery. Shares reached an 11 month high. And yet the BBC continue to broadcast doom and gloom comments that the British economy is now in a perilous situation. The healthy Footsie belies that sort of talk.

DOTD

dotDigital – positive trading update, but are the shares a buy?

Shares in provider of email and marketing automation software and managed services to digital marketing professionals, dotDigital (DOTD) are on the rise on the back of a trading update for the company's year ended 30th June. Let’s take a look…

Gable Holdings - bonus time for CEO William "oink oink" Dewsall, but almost total wipeout for shareholders: what a wanker

For sheer comedy I refer you to today's Gable Holdings (GAH) Chairman’s statement which starts with the sentence - ”2015 has been a mixed year for Gable”. He is 'avin' a bubble surely?

Cyan Holdings - Share issuance for salaries and bonuses an ominous sign

Cyan Holdings (CYAN) has issued an unusual RNS this morning, outlining the shares received by directors and some other employees in lieu of salary and bonuses. As this type of situation is not sustainable in the long-term, one can only conclude that the company’s financial position puts it at high risk.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast - sorry this is not very good

I look at sad events in Nice and at Metals Exploration (MTL) but sorry this really is not very good.

BrainJuicer – half-year trading update notes “generally encouraging” top-line growth, BUT…

Market research agency, BrainJuicer (BJU) has announced “generally encouraging” top-line growth and that half year “operating profit increased by some 41%” BUT…

Nigel Farage Oakley Caption Contest Result

Oh no, Wildes is going to have to report me to the FCA once again for market abuse in awarding the prize, a signed photo of Oakley, to myself. This contest was on my mind following news that once again a "foreign cat" has entered the house through Oakley's cat flap. What would Farage say? "These Bulgarian cats get everywhere, political correctness gone mad...mine's a pint." Anyhow the winning entry - from the many submitted HERE - to the photo below is from me and is:

1Spatial - new contract win: buy

1Spatial (SPA), the global spatial software and solutions company which manages the world's largest spatial data, has announced that it has won its third contract to provide geospatial solutions to a US Federal Government Agency.

All In On Precious Metals – Most Obvious Trade On the Planet! Shares to fall by 80%

Fund manager Etai Friedman says he has never seen a bigger green light in his life. It is literally the most obvious trade on the planet. The trade is so good that Etai just rebalanced his portfolio from a very small gold and silver allocation to 75%! And he’s not done yet. He expects to go 100% towards precious metals within the next couple of months. In this week's podcast with Amanda van Dyke's colleagues at Palisade Capital he explains why.

BEG

Begbies Results, no red flags: Buy

Insolvency, restructuring and property services group Begbies Traynor (BEG) has announced results for its year ended 30th April 2016 and that, although cautious, “the recent acquisition of the Pugh auction business, together with the Taylors valuation business, gives the opportunity for growth in earnings in the new financial year”.

WAND

WANdisco – where now following confetti issue approval?

Having recovered back above 150p at the start of this month, shares in unique cash-burning machine (sorry, “unique… provider of enterprise-ready, non-stop software solutions that enable globally distributed organizations to meet today's data challenges of secure storage, scalability and continuous availability”) WANdisco plc (WAND) have slipped back with the company having received General Meeting approval for a confetti (sorry again, equity) issue…

China FRAUD LED, useless AIM Regulation and AIM Rule 41: I despair. And where are the Interims?

The clock is ticking for ShareProphets AIM-China Filthy Forty play LED International Holdings (LED). Actually, the clock ran down to zero last month but still AIM Rule 41 has not been invoked. AIM Regulation is well aware of the situation and has elected to do nothing: the chocolate teapots appear to be happy to flout their own rulebook in blatant fashion.

LGEN

The Legal Has Landed, but Could Take Off Again Soon

Hello Share Twiggers. For the last few trading sessions, I’ve been looking at jolly good companies where the stock has been oversold in the wake of Brexit and various other unusual situations. Today I bring before you Legal & General (LGEN). The massive insurance company made a slow but sure recovery after disaster hit financial stocks in 2008. Consequently my post-crash investment increased by 200%. Then things suddenly went a bit pear shaped.

SuperGroup still growing, maiden dividend announced

SuperGroup (SGP), purveyor of the SuperDry brand, is up 15% today on the back of encouraging final results. The brand is not short of sceptics but its results are doing most of the talking for the time being.

DX

DX Group – 9:14am “Trading Update and Board Change”. Hmmm…

Parcels, mail and logistics group DX (DX.) has announced a strangely timed (9:14am) “trading update for the year ended 30 June 2016, including its proposed new central hub and contract with Her Majesty's Passport Office. In addition, it reports a change to its board of directors”. Hmmm…

Fast Forward: strategic update = shameless pre placing ramp

How on earth did hapless Nomad Peel Hunt sign off on what Jim Mellon's FastForward Innovations (FFWD) terms a "strategic update" but is in fact nothing more than a shameless pre placing ramp.?  My comments are in bold. FastForward's are not.

Jubilee Platinum Confident update and chat with Colin Bird

Jubilee Platinum (JLP) has updated investors on the performance of its subsidiary, Jubilee Tailings Treatment Company Pty Ltd in the three-months' ended 30 June 2016, of its chrome recovery section of the Dilokong Chrome mine tailings project and a progress update on the Hernic PGM-bearing chrome tailings project. After this Tom Winnifrith had a good chat with the chairman Colin Bird.

Digital Globe Services – CEO reckons “pleased with the overall growth of the business”, but for investors it’s over to Beyoncé & Jay-Z…

Provider of customer, lead, and inquiry acquisition and digital media services, Digital Globe (DGS) commences a “Trading Update” noting that it “expects to deliver revenue for the year of approximately $48.0m (FY15: $40.3m), marginally ahead of market expectations”. Good, good … “gross margins experienced compression in the second half of the year due primarily to increased marketing spend”. Uh oh…

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Insulting Froggies on Bastille Day and Morons on Gulf Keystone day

It is of course Bastille Day and that, of course, prompts a few jokes at the expense of the Froggies. I then move into Gulf Keystone (GKP) and a spot of moron baiting and working out moron investing game theory. I then move to a detailed look at Digital Globe (DGS) before covering en passant XCite (XEL), LGO Energy (LGO), Trinity (TRIN), Circle Oil (COP), Premier Oil (PMO), IGAS (IGAS) and Nostra Terra (NTOG). I also comment on Glenwick (GWIK), 88 Energy (88E), Strat Aero (AERO) and Inspirit Energy (INSP)

Trinity Exploration (TRIN) has confirmed that it has had bid approaches and analyst Zac Phillips at SP Angel, the City's most feared oil guru, has suggested who may be at the table. But shareholders shouldn't get too excited as they will get screwed whatever happens.
