BREAKING: One rule for Gavin Burnell of the Globo fraud infamy, another for the plebs in the Elephant oil IPO like Andrew Bell

Mr Andrew Bell of Red Rock Resources (RRR) – Eton and Oxford – may be unused to being called a pleb, certainly by a ghastly little oik like Gavin Burnell of the Globo (GBO) fraud infamy. But it seems that in the float of Elephant Oil in the USA, there are two classes of investor and Red Rock is very much the lower class while the frightful Burnell is king of the castle.

Supply@ME capital morons obsess about Shareprophets tax avoiding ( er we don't!)

Just for a hoot I visited the Supply@ME Capital (SYME) thread on ADVFN (AFN). You should try it, it really is a laugh, rarely have I encountered such moronic fantasists. There is almost no discussion of fundamental analysis of Supply yet still plenty of dreamers wondering what colour Ferrari they will buy when it all comes good. That the shares are down by almost 50% over the past year and by almost 90% since peak ramp is, according to many posters, down to one thing:

Letter to Aquis Regulation re Andrew Monk and VSA Capital – misleading trading statement?

Not only does Andrew Monk and VSA Capital list shitcos on the Aquis Lobster Pot but VSA itself is listed on Aquis too. It listed at 21p on 9 September 2021. Its shares are 49% down so far this year and can now be sold for just 10p. But has the Monkey legged over investors with a misleading trading statement. I think the graduate of Oriel College Oxford (has he told us about his posh education yet today?) has and have written to Aquis Regulation suggesting it force VSA to clarify.

Supply@ME Capital NED jumps after 9 months, replacement is a joke

It is yet another red flag at the fraud Supply@ME Capital. NED Andrew Thomas says he wants to pursue other business opportunities one hopes non criminal ones, and is jumping ship after just nine months. Supply bigs up his replacement Alexandra Galligan but if you life up the skirts of her CV…

The comedy continues at Deliveroo

Whilst I continue to very occasionally use Deliveroo (ROO) to deliver an alternative family meal, my guess is that the two or three times a year level will slow a bit further in 2023. And I reckon we are not the only people doing this. As for the company’s shares, I have long been very cautious of this name with its comedy 2021 IPO and, after nearly reaching a 400p share price in August that year, they have been correctly lurking below a 100p share price level for the last six months.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: forward selling at Versarien & Verditek, lying by Reabold and the countdown to insolvency at Supply@ME Capital

I start pondering retirement, then look at Credit Suisse and Gary vs Chris on buying shares right now. Then it is onto Versarien (VRS), Verditek (VDTK),lying by Reabold (RBD) on its takeover bid, Cineworld (CINE), Ben's Creek (BEN) and that scumbag Adam Wilson and the fraud Supply@ME Capital (SYME)

Marshalls – 2022 results, how confident to be of ‘in line with expectations’ ahead?

Previously writing on landscape, building and roofing products manufacturer and supplier Marshalls (MSLH), in January with the shares around 325p I concluded that outlook uncertainty saw me continue to avoid. The shares most recently closed at just below 300p and are currently slightly further lower on the back of calendar year 2022 results.

The Versarien placing at 3p – another black hole needing plugging? The Brian Berney law suit?

Why do such a fund raise now folks ask? Because it can is the reason, thanks to thuggish share plugging involving bent journalism and forward selling, Versarien (VRS) has an extra £275,000 net cash. Versarien says it is going to be spent on growth opportunities and working capital but that is obviously a lie. Some may go on funding ongoing losses. It could go on giving Neill Ricketts a £197,000 payoff. Or….

Cordel – how “major” is new USA contract award?

Previously writing on transport data technology group Cordel (CRDL), in August with the shares up to 6.5p I noted I retained concerns. The shares most recently closed again at 6.5p, but what of them currently up to 8p on the back of a “New USA Major Contract Announcement”?

Prudential is (still) not dull or boring

I reckon the average institutional investment board is in a bit of panic mode at the moment. Most were not silly enough to put their money into California’s specialist banks, but what they are not used to is a bit of normal volatility. The majority of institutional investors can handle geopolitical crises or an iffy corporate earnings season or even a standard recession, but when you get stuff happening in multiple different directions simultaneously too many react by doing nothing (other than moaning that this is really different from the 2010s). Spot the underlying reality – the aberration was the 2010s!

Dialight – to “now rigorously pursue its claims to trial”, good news?

LED lighting for industrial applications company Dialight (DIA) has issued a litigation update announcement including that “following the court's examination of the evidence supporting Dialight's fraudulent inducement claim against Sanmina, and of other related matters, Dialight will now rigorously pursue its claims to trial. If Dialight's claims are successful at trial, the range of outcomes could include the payment by Sanmina to Dialight of between $0 and c. $220m (excluding legal costs and judicial interest)”. So what of a current few percent higher share price today to 205p?

World Class Supplier to the Rag Trade Could Sew Up a Higher Share Price

Hello Share Mashers. I guess a few readers won’t know what Coats Group (COA) does. Well, for a start it goes back 250 years. Put simply, it makes threads, zips, textiles and other stuff for the rag trade.

BREAKING: Versarien: Ricketts smoked out by the Sheriff of AIM – loathsome Neill is still a director and on full pay

You thought Ricketts had gone, he had resigned. Today’s bombshell expose HERE seems to have forced the hand of Versarien (VRS) and it has now ‘fessed up. Ricketts and the associated stench has not left the building after all ...

In today's podcast I look at Credit Suisse and the banking crisis, bitcoin, gold, Argo Blockchain (ARB), Online Blockchain (OBC), Mode Global (MODE), Okyo Pharma (OKYO), Virgin Wines (WINO) and Versarien (VRS) in light of the bombshell here earlier today.

EnSilica – “pleased to announce… ongoing support from our shareholders”. Who’s it trying to fool?

Describing itself as “a leading mixed signal chip maker”, EnSilica (ENSI) has issued a “Result of Retail Offer” announcement it states that it “is pleased to announce” and that it “welcome this ongoing support from our shareholders and look forward to updating the market on our continued progress over the coming months”. So what’s the detail from the 70p per share, up to £0.5 million, offer, with the shares having previous to it closed at 74p and been above 100p as recently as last month?
