Verditek – the fraud will be bust by June.
It was only just over two years ago that shares in the fraud Verditek (VDTK) reached 18p at peak Mike Walters ramp. But, like so many stocks promoted by old mother Walters, Verditek was a fraud and now the shares are just 0.6p. This website has exposed the way Verditek has made announcements about big new contracts on a serial basis since 2017, ramped the shares, got a placing away only to ‘fess that the contract was bogus. The problem with frauds, as Mrs Thatcher might have said, is that eventually they run out of other people’s money. That point will arrive within months.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Falling out with my old college ( again) over Christmas
Oxford is so full of Godless liberal tossers these days. After a brief rant on that matter I look at the importance of December to the bars and restaurant trade and how this month will be awful. I suggest why the lack of profits warning Sarah Willingham is now sitting on will force a bailout placing at Nightcap (NGHT) - any takers at 4p? I also look at Tintra (TNT) and nanosynth (NNN) as it heads for zero.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Vertu Motors really loves prospects in the South West of England
After being a bit ill a couple of years ago, the DVLA was absolutely correct to ask me to return my driving licence. After all, it is not smart to drive a car if neither of your eyes has good enough vision any more. One small advantage is that I will never need to deal with car dealers or related again. This does not mean however I do not follow the sector, which brings me to today’s comment from Vertu Motors (VTU).- By Chris Bailey |

Wheelsure – sales are vanity: the Fat Lady is checking her diary! This company deserves to go bust!
Aquis listed Wheelsure (WHLP) has always been an accident waiting to happen. But now it seems as if the Fat Lady may have a gig in Bedford possibly even before Christmas. The statement, ‘natch, is wholly disingenuous. Naughty, naughty Liam Murray at Cairn. I shall be dropping a quick email to Santa as this is NOT what good boys do.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Letter to the FCA – Odey Asset Management wasting clients cash?
I have commented extensively on this issue. I cannot understand how Odey is not both creating a false market in shares in Advanced Oncotherapy (AVO) – so inflating its AUM - but also knowingly and deliberately losing money for clients. I have written to the FCA asking it to examine the matterRequest that you investigate Odey Asset Management over share dealings in Advanced Oncotherapy

The View From The Montana Log-Cabin As Gold Falls Slightly, Markets Rather More
Gold finished the week at $1793 – slightly down on last week’s $1798 but rather more resilient than the market in general, as the Fed again hiked rates and warned of more to come. So stocks declined, and the bond market was having none of it as yields fell over the week.- By Nigel Somerville |

Despite the Slump, Construction Projects are Still Supported by Whitehall and this Galloping Giant could Reap the Benefit
Hello Share Followers. Among the few jumbo companies I have confidence in suggesting to you in these stormy days, is Balfour Beatty (BBY). Unusually, for any firm, revenue for the full year is expected to be better than last time round. Only by another 5% from £8.3 billion. But that’s pretty good for 2022.- By Malcolm Stacey |

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Posties are greedy bastards and their company will go bust, its just a matter of when

Tintra – was the recent death spiral really issued by Bergen Asset Management?
Dubious quality companies on the AIM and Standard List have long used Death Spiral funding to raise cash to keep the lights on. It appears that now that some but not all of the Bulletin Board morons have cottoned onto the main names in the Death Spiral space that the latest twist is for the Death Spiral Lender to use a front entity to provide the money and for it to be given a industry relevant moniker to reassure the more gullible investors that the new funding is coming a long term institutional investor and not a wicked Death Spiral lender that will crater the share price.- By Tom Winnifrith, the Sheriff of AIM |
