After the resignation of PR adviser St Brides which refused to put its name to any more disingenuous RNS releases, it must by Andrew Monk’s VSA Capital that takes the blame for crafting the quite delusional statements issued by Caracal Gold (GCAT). Monk may have been educated at Oriel College Oxford, as he reminds us on an almost daily basis, but where did he learn to talk such cock?Published 16 March 2023, 10:38
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.Published 24 August 2023, 10:07
I have highlighted the numerous red flags and dodgy deals that make no sense relating to Standard List Zamaz (ZAMZ) on this website numerous times. Its main man Dominic White made millions cashing out of the fraud Supply@ME Capital (SYME) which he helped bring to the market. Today Zamaz has announced that it has a new adviser. Which firm is so desperate that it will act for Zamaz?Published 2 April 2023, 08:36
The most-read non-Tom non-Quiz article this week is What does the ruling in favour of Iraq potentially mean for companies operating in Kurdistan? Share suspensions tomorrow? by Gary Newman at No 1 or No 1 including Bearcasts.

Andrew Monk of VSA Resources was today explaining in his private daily email why Sula Iron & Gold (SULA) was his second nap share tip of the year. Now bear in mind VSA acts for Sula but Monk is a principled sort of fellow and if he says he believes in something he really does. As such it is over to the Monkey who writes:

I'm thrilled that the most read article last week was the return of the ShareProphets Sunday Pub Quiz, now with the new added feature of working correctly. Otherwise, the most-read non-Tom article this week is Kurdistan carries a lot of political risk for oil companies, but despite that I view Genel Energy and Gulf Keystone as buys by Gary Newman at No 3 or No 7 including Bearcasts.

A bottle of NZ Pinot Noir at £15? A fine choice sir to add to your collection but with clients like Caracal Gold (GCAT), still not paying outstanding fees of c£100,000 are you sure you can afford it? Oh, the FCA Enquiry into Caracal hotting up you say, the shares collapsing to just 0.225p, the Silverwood debacle a bit of a £1m pain: you need to drown your sorrows? I understand perfectly. To win nothing at all how, post your caption to respond to Andrew Monk's latest crass ostentatious display of his wealth in these times of austerity, in the comments section below.Published 25 September 2023, 11:21
You may remember that a few weeks ago Andrew Monk got pretty furious when I suggested that he was taking Invinity Energy (IES) to see a stack of Canadian fund managers to lay the groundwork for the next bailout placing. Today we have interims and it is blindingly obvious that as part of his degree in name dropping at Oriel College Oxford, Monkey did not do any maths but he might have done a paper on misleading investors. Natch Invinity boasts of “record” sales and muppet investors seem impressed by that ignoring the company’s own admission today that it is running out of money.Published 27 January 2024, 11:30
At 30.5p mid, green energy play Invinity Energy Systems (IES) is capitalised at £60 million. Naturally, it is loss-making and has already managed to spaff the vast majority of the £21.9 million it raised about nine months ago. The only question is when will the bailout placing be? That it will have to be conducted at a material discount despite the best efforts of London’s most conceited broker, Andrew Monk, is a given.Published 13 February 2023, 10:55
Andrew Monk of VSA Capital (VSA) has spent the past week sunning himself at the Indaba Mining conference in Zim South, attending cocktail reception after cocktail reception or, as he terms it, working. But now he is back and finds his prized client, Caracal Gold (GCAT), in the midst of a full scale FCA enquiry into insider dealing and market abuse. As the first scalp was announced today, I have dropped Andrew a note.Published 25 January 2023, 14:07
The adviser to disgraced and technically insolvent Caracal Gold (GCAT), Mr Andrew “the Monkey” Monk of VSA Capital has yet to reply to any of my letters about the insider dealing, undeclared share trades and pledges, undeclared death spiral and tardily declared failed fundings. But he should know that I write to assist him and that I am not on a fishing trip, just trying to assist my old friends at what the Monkey terms Very Sexy Andrew Capital. In that spirit of friendship I have written again, ccing in the fellows at the FCA who are investigating Caracal and its bent board.Published 17 January 2024, 11:51
Dispensa (DISP) the Sub Standard list POS formerly known as Zamaz, a company created by Dominic White of the fraud Supply@ME Capital (SYME) infamy is in serious trouble. The only question now is when the end will come and why. This company listed at 11p, a £77million market cap in September 2022. I explicitly warned that it was a sham but the FCA knew better and allowed the listing to go ahead. The shares are now just 1.625p and my target is 0p.Published 13 May 2024, 12:08
Speaking as a perma bear, I note that it is always welcome when a sinner repenteth and Andrew Monk of VSA Capital (VSA), where I am an unwitting small shareholder, was at one stage something of a fan of Bushveld Minerals (BMN). Today in his podcast the broker simply states that “Someone should put Bushveld out of its misery” as it posts notice of a GM. The monkey is right: this company is now pointless and worthless.Published 8 September 2023, 09:45
I would like to apologise to Mr. Andrew Monk for suggesting that his claim that I was a shareholder in VSA Capital (VSA) was a vile smear. I have now tracked down the share registrars and it appears that a share certificate for 2,000 shares was indeed dispatched to a wholly out of date address. I am thus the owner of shares which might just be sold for a paltry £120.Published 15 January 2018, 05:05
Clearly, the whole AIQ (AIQ) IPO was a farce the way it has been handled and having also been digging around, there is more to come but I will leave it in the excellent hands of Nigel to report further on the dodginess here. I will just turn my hand to a bit of poetry inspired by Monk’s defence this morning and by recent Twitter hilarity.
Published 15 January 2018, 02:48
Andrew Monk's VSA floated AIQ on the Standard List last week. Its shares soared 1000% and were suspended. As Andrew notes, through the passive investment vehicle RRR I own shares in AIQ (about £10 worth - CORRECTION I am told it is £1841 worth!). I will try to sell the lot as the valuation is insane. But Monk wants to defend his corner so before our writers really go to town - and I am on their side - here is Monkey in his private email to clients today...

Yesterday, Dispensa (DISP), the Standard listed joke formerly known as Zamaz (ZAMZ), a company only Andrew Monk of VSA Capital (VSA) seems prepared to act for, served up its second set of interim results, covering the six months ended 31 August 2023. As you’d expect with a Monk client and a company controlled by Dominic White of the Supply@ME Capital (SYME) fraud infamy, the numbers are a joke and riddled with schoolboy errors. Does Monk care any more about attaching his name to such piffle and associating himself with such low life? Or is he just completely desperate for any business he can get?Published 19 February 2023, 07:23
The most-read non-Tom article this week is by Chris Bailey, How much do you like being “nudged” by Hargreaves Lansdown?, at No 2 or No 8 including Bearcasts.

As a loyal, if wholly unwitting, shareholder in Aquis listed VSA Capital (VSA) perhaps I should not crow to much about the news that humble pie is on the menu today at Oriel College Oxford. That Andrew Monk and his team have climbed down in this legal tussle which will see another material writedown in the balance sheet is embarrassing but it is also sensible and for that I offer praise where it is due. Well done Monkey! Let me explain.Published 1 October 2024, 12:18
I kid you not. While we wait for interims to December 31 2023, FY numbers to June 30 2024, the FCA to approve a prospectus Caracal Gold (GCAT) says that it has taken on two new loans.
