Ariana – Turkey Update As Knicker-Wetters Strike
AIM-listed Gold producer Ariana Resources (AAU) announced an update regarding its joint venture portfolio in Turkey this morning. The shares are down – presumably because a few souls are panicking that the forthcoming second mine at Tavsan is late. But for me a small delay is neither here nor there – what was of far more interest for me were comments over Dokwe in Zimbabwe.- By Nigel Somerville |

Avacta: smell the desperation of paid for research
A company the size of Avacta (AVCT) should not need grubby paid for research. It should have institutional research for institutional investors. But Avacta’s share price is driven by Joe Retail and Joe Retail is getting very bored.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Celadon: Timber! More ouzo for the Sheriff, vicar?
If AIM was not such a joke then James Short, the CEO of Celadon Pharmaceuticals (CEL) would have been fired months ago for his tardy disclosure that sums owed from a May loan and equity investment agreement did not arrive on schedule. And they have still not arrived leaving the company in crisis, as it ‘fessed up to today.- By Tom Winnifrith, the Sheriff of AIM |

Judges Scientific – expects certain orders now “will not all occur in time to deliver against the expectations”. Uh oh!…
Scientific instruments company Judges Scientific (JDG) has issued a “Trading Update” including that “as anticipated, H2 will show progress compared to H1” and that it “is confident that the long-term growth drivers of our business remain solid”. However, a current trading update emphasis of long-term solidity tends to mean the near-term isn’t ‘solid’ and here now…- By Steve Moore |

Bushveld Minerals: ouzo on cornflakes for the Sheriff of AIM as shares suspended pending clarification
The bulletin board morons knew better than old TW. Andrew Monk knew far better than old TW as he always does as Andrew is always right and old TW is just a failed fund manager who works in a pizza shop. But it seems that maybe old TW was not wrong in warning folks time and time again that Bushveld Minerals (BMN) was a scandalous penny share promote that would end in tears. Its shares were 40p seven years ago. Today they are suspended at 0.6p, still a market cap of £7 million.- By Tom Winnifrith, the Sheriff of AIM |

Georgina Energy:– today’s cashless warrant exercise is a massive vote of no confidence
Today Georgina (GEX) issued the following RNS under the misleading heading “Operational Update”. The update has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with operations.

Tern – Yet More Disaster At Wyld….Has It Sold Out Yet?
Last week saw further desperate news for AIM-listed jam-tomorrow investment vehicle Tern plc (TERN). As noted by Tom Winnifrith recently, when Tern’s holding in Wyld Networks was worth the princely sum of around £23,000, Tern already had the indignity of being 99% down on its investment on the joke Nasdaq-of-the-North joke exchange player. But the shares collapsed yet again….- By Nigel Somerville |

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Will Southport see Keir Starmer also forced to resign, the gagging is not working! And is today's Georgina expose enough for Jerry Keen to quit?
Yesterday I discussed why Rachel Reeves, Rachel from customer services, should quit.. Today I look at the gagging orders and the rumours which have created another dangerous Southport vacuum. Will Sir Kier have to resign over this when the truth is out or are the rumours all over the web untrue? None of this mess will inspire consumer or business confidence. Labour needs to come clean on all fronts. Then onto my latest Georgina Energy (GEX) expose?- By Tom Winnifrith |
