UPDATED: Versarien: another spoof RNS Reach, can you smell the desperation yet?
The funder of the lifestyle of disgraced, porcine CEO, Neill Ricketts, that is to say Versarien (VRS), will run out of cash and still have debts of almost £8 million by April or May. It has been knocked back on its big grant application to Innovate UK – as revealed here – and so must get a placing away PDQ otherwise the Fat Lady and the Fat Man will be singing a late Spring duet. Can you smell the desperation? For the second time in five days, we have an RNS Reach.- By Tom Winnifrith, the Sheriff of AIM |

Ouzo for Pete Brailey and the bears, another Pantheon disaster as its cash rapidly runs out!
The big bear call from Pete Brailey at ShareStock 2022 last September was Pantheon Resources (PANR) at 122p and its shares are now 31p after another disastrous operational update. To have presented such data if you were drowning in cash would be alright, but Pantheon is not, it is rapidly running out of other folks moolah.- By Tom Winnifrith |

No Heartbreak at this Hotel Group with a Share Price that Seems Undervalued
Hello Share Carriers. This old punter can never understand why there’s such a healthy demand for hotel rooms. Why are people staying away from home so much, especially in non-holiday venues? But the fact remains that there are always zillions of people wanting temporary accommodation. Which leads me to suggest that now Covid is behind us, you might take a look at this company.- By Malcolm Stacey |

Despite deals with schools, cleaner buses Morocco growth angles and the return of dividends, I am happy to continue ignoring shares in National Express Group
The last time I wrote about National Express Group (NEX) was just over four months ago, when I concluded it was a “continued Avoid for me”. Given that the company’s shares were about 155p then and ended Friday’s trading - even after a couple of days for the stock - at just shy of 143p, my call felt correct. Is it time to change my view now, given I read a couple of weeks ago that Malcolm thinks “The Wheels on this Bus Go Round and Round and Up and Up could Go the Share Price”- By Chris Bailey of Financial Orbit |

Photo Article - The reason no articles yesterday, my first training walk for Rogue Bloggers for Woodlarks, schoolboy errors
I had hoped that Darren would have added all the photos I sent him from the top of Moel Famau, a large hill the other side of Mold. But, he is not a Good German and I shall sack him later. Instead you can see me below with my chunky two year old daughter Jaya on my back and try to imagine views, stretching miles and miles, out into the Irish sea.- By Tom Winnifrith |

AMTE Power – “pleased” with delivery of first ‘Ultra Prime’ cells, how ‘pleasing’ is the balance sheet to be though?!
Previously writing on company describing itself as “a leading UK developer and manufacturer of lithium-ion and sodium-ion battery cells for specialist markets” AMTE Power (AMTE), in September with the shares down towards 70p I concluded sceptically. The shares most recently closed at 54p, but what of a “Delivery of Ultra Prime Cells” announcement today and the shares currently up towards 60p, an above £21 million market cap?
