Video: On the Cusp of a Mega Bull Run in Gold

Of course as a bullion dealer, James Anderson of SD Bullion to the show is talking his own book. But maybe he is right? James discusses the recent surge in gold demand due to problems in the banking system, with some depositors buying up gold out of concern. He says his firm has seen record volume which has prompted it to place temporary minimum order limits, as it is difficult to increase staffing levels to meet this sudden demand.
SIS

Science in Sport – emphasises “growth and efficiency plan” and trading momentum “gathering”, but what about cash flow?

‘Performance nutrition company’ Science in Sport (SIS) has announced what it states is “an ambitious growth and efficiency plan”and that on trading “momentum is gathering”. So what of a current share price up to 9p, giving a £15.5 million market capitalisation?

Tesco remains a good place to do your shopping and, if you are a pension fund investor, to keep on holding its shares

After a few quiet days over Easter, the UK market has a bunch of interesting larger cap updates this morning. I was positive on Tesco (TSCO) shares when they fell below a 200p level during the market excitement of early October. And, despite a share price rising over 20% over the following few months, earlier this year I concluded that they remained at least a strong hold for mainstream investors. However, as I write, the shares are back above a 270p price, which raises the question whether Tesco shares are still a strong hold or not?

Socialist Grifter Avaaz lies about Elon Musk’s tax rate of 3% AND that of a Ugandan rice trader as it demands a billionaire tax to save the planet

It is hard to know where to start with today’s utterly lie packed email rom the grifters at Avaaz – highly paid individuals who want to soak the rich, that is not them but entrepreneurs like Elon Musk. Now Musk is right now, a bit of a hero, for his utter destruction of a BBC reporter as you can see in the video below.

A bad week for all things Ince – ouzos all round for me

It has not been a good week for all things Ince. First up, Mr Paul Ince, once the Guv’nor, was fired as manager of Reading. Like all West Ham supporters, a P45 for Judas, is, for me, a good start to the week. Better still, yesterday afternoon, Ince Group (INCE) announced it was going into administration.
UBG

Unbound Group – a proposal “superior to the possible offer”? Look out for the prospective LTIP details!

Hotter Shoes brand 55+ demographic footwear group Unbound (UBG) has announced it has “received a proposal from Marwyn Investment Management LLP offering to provide a £10m investment via an equity placing at an issue price of 10.5 pence per Unbound share”. Good news with the prior closing share price 8.5p?

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Armies of Carbon Neutral lesbians of colour will not save you if you are drowning in debt

In today's Bearcast I discuss olive harvesting, Vast Resources (VAST), the shocking record of Colin Bird at Bezant (BZT), nanosynth (NNN) and finally Carnival Corporation (CCL) whose CEO and chief climate officer really is a clown.
SYS1

System1 Group – trading update demonstrating ‘right strategy, business model and management team’…or not?

System1 Group (SYS1) has issued a trading update which includes “delighted with the upturn in performance in the second half-year. The profitable growth in our standard, platform-based products in the US and elsewhere demonstrates that we have the right strategy, business model and management team”. So what of the strategy, business model and management team and a currently rising above 200p share price?

Costain looks to be on the cusp of turning things around - buy

Costain (COST) has fallen on hard times over the past few years and its share price has plummeted by more than 85% from the highs it was trading at as recently as 2018, but it looks as though it has a chance of turning things around following a more promising recent performance. That is why the shares are a BUY.

More comedy at De La Rue and the IMF, but some good recent stuff from Malcolm

As I get older, I learn more and more that history can repeat itself and rhyme. Just under five months ago, I wrote HERE that “it is far from being a boring day today…it is no surprise for me to see shares in De La Rue (DLAR), which institutional investors and brokers used to call ‘Danny’, pulling back nearly 20% given that it is still struggling to make a proper profit and free cash flow”. I could have written the same today…except that De La Rue shares are down by more than 20% today as I write.

Sosandar – Trading Update Shows Increased Cash, But…..

AIM-listed online ladies fashionwear purveyor Sosandar (SOS) this morning released a trading update. There were, of course, plenty of metrics, increased sales (vanity….) and so on, but the big number for me was cash.
EMAN

Everyman Media – argues 2022 “strong performance”. Er, really?

Previously writing on cinemas group Everyman Media (EMAN), in January with the shares up to 90.5p I questioned how ‘pleasing’ a trading update was and concluded to avoid. The group has now announced results for its year ended 29th December 2022, including “pleased to report that 2022 was a positive year for the business, with financial performance ahead of management's initial expectations”. So what of a current below 65p share price – down further on the results announcement?

Why not go to Master Investor this Saturday to ask Sean Smith some questions he cannot answer?

I have not been to London for almost four years and rather cherish my status as a badly shaven recluse in the boonies so will not be heading to Islington this Saturday as my old pal Jim Mellon holds his annual Master Investor show. As it happens, I am travelling and will have two noisy kids with me and so attendance is impossible. But the ever-entertaining Jim will be speaking as will Evil Knievil so if you are in the hell hole that is London there are far worse things to do this weekend. You can still grab a free ticket HERE. And if you do go, can you do me an enormous favour?

Dynamite Bombshell On The Lobster-Pot - TruSpine Gets An Email & I now have it!

I have wondered aloud as to whether Aquis-listed TruSpine (TSP) was telling the whole truth about the severance of its relationship with the inventor of its (or perhaps not its) products. A dynamite email has landed with me which asks many questions, as you can see below.

This Bouncy Builder Is Labouring Hard to Construct its Share Price

Hello Share People. When a country’s economy ain’t growing, as in the present case of the UK, wise governments beef up major construction projects. These provide jobs which bring the taxes rolling in. And they also speed up operations by other kinds of company, so they can also expand and make more money. That’s why I rather favour construction merchants at the moment.

Carr's Group – full-year results emphasise strong prospects, a Buy?

Agriculture and engineering group Carr's (CARR) has announced delayed results for its year ended 3rd September 2022, emphasising it is “now focused on higher-margin, differentiated, international Speciality Agriculture and Engineering businesses with strong growth prospects” and its shares have been restored to trading.
ENSI

EnSilica – emphasises further contract positive but also CFO “has stepped down”. Er, why’s that then?

Describing itself as “a leading mixed signal chip maker”, EnSilica (ENSI) has announced a contract extension following last week it securing another contract. So what of the shares having been falling since and currently down to 67.5p?
VRS

The Next Versarien Bailout Placing prize sweepstake

We all know that Versarien (VRS) will be running on vapours by June so its only hope is a bailout placing. Soundings must already be underway. As I prepare to bring 5 litres of Greek Hovel olive oil back to Wales you can win 500 ml by winning this contest

New broker, same old story – pump and dump at dog with fleas MGC Pharmaceuticals

The word on the Street is that the scholars and gentlemen at broker Turner Pope actually did act like scholars (researching my numerous exposes on this website) and gentlemen and so refused to raise any more cash for worthless POS MGC Pharmaceuticals (MXC). But some folks would raise cash for the Wiping Saddam Hussein’s arse company. Step forward Peterhouse Capital.
