Ethiopian Minister of Mines sacked – this is very good news for Kefi

The Ethiopian Minister of Mines, Takele Uma, was apparently sacked yesterday at a cabinet meeting. Rumours in Addis suggest that he stands accused of industrial scale corruption. Well knock me down with a feather.

Another day, another announcement from Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) – with this time boss Harry Adams “delighted” with the award of five further exploration licences in Saudi Arabia to the company’s 30%-owned joint venture. Is he sugaring the pill ahead of bad news in Ethiopia?

Video: Are the Mining Stocks Starting to Gather Momentum?

Writer Craig Hemke, founder of TF Metals Report, says he expected a macro dip in 2022 but anticipated a faster recovery to a higher level than what transpired. The Fed hiked more than most expected as inflation got ahead of it, and the extent of the damage remains unknown.

Footsie's Creeping Up, but It May Not Last as Hefy Headwinds Hot Up.

Hello Share Speakers. Yes, I know the Footsie has been on a small roll so far this year. But I’m still reluctant to go back into shares. Though this week I did buy Lloyds Group         (LLOY) because I’m not the only one who thinks banks have been forgotten by investors who should have realised that rising interest rates benefit the big four.

Tharisa – Q1 report, still a value Buy

Platinum group metals and chrome producer in South Africa, Tharisa (THS) has issued an update on its first quarter of the year, including news that mining volumes were impacted by rainfall not seen in the history of the Tharisa mine but that it maintains full-year production guidance of 175koz-185koz PGMs (6E) and 1.75Mt-1.85Mt chrome concentrates. So what of a current 97.5p share price?

Wincanton – “current year in line with market expectations”, but what about the outlook?

Logistics company Wincanton (WIN) has issued a “Q3 trading update” including emphasising “year-to-date, we have delivered encouraging revenue growth of 5.5% and the pipeline of new business opportunities continues to increase”. So what of a share price currently down 4% in response and the shares, now at 327.5p, down from above 370p as recently as November?

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Revolution Beauty's bosses should be in jail, if this is not massive fraud what is?

In today's podcast I discuss the naivete of the spider kisser over Coro Energy (CORO) but my main focus is on the fraud at Revolution Beauty (REVB). How on earth are Tom Allsworth and Adam Minto not heading for jail. And as for the shares....

Dialight – after stating in mid-December “trading expectations… remain unchanged” for 2022, what of now a profit warning?!

Previously writing on LED lighting for industrial applications company Dialight (DIA), in November with the shares at 305p I concluded including that there can be no great confidence in expectations for the full year remaining unchanged. On 14th December the company announced that Chair Karen Oliver was to “step down” at the end of the month but that its “trading expectations for the year ending 31 December 2022 remain unchanged”. So what of the shares currently down more than 16% today at 266p on the back of a “trading statement”?

After decades as a penny share grifter, Colin Bird is a multi-millionaire. Unlike any of the other shareholders in the companies he manages. It is within that context that you should note a share purchase in Xtract Resources (XTR) announced today.

Don’t expect me to buy DFS Furniture shares (or a new sofa)

A couple of months ago, I was very downbeat (again) about the prospects for the shares of DFS Furniture (DFS) even with it describing itself as “the market leading retailer of living room and upholstered furniture in the United Kingdom”. Whilst the shares have nearly halved over the last year, as a bunch of people have realised they either cannot afford a new sofa and/or have better things to be doing with their money, the stock has pushed up over the last couple of months. What is going on?

Deep Dive Analysis of Supply@Me Capital – Cash crisis by April Fools Day

The fraud Supply@ME Capital Capital (SYME) has not issued a full year trading update, so we can safely assume there were no material new sales to boast about other than the first Inventory Monetisation transaction funded by VeChain which saw Euro 1.6 million of inventory monetised. At Supply’s claimed revenue percentage fee of 3% this is worth a tiny Euro 48,000 in revenue and almost certainly no profit on the trade at all.
