And here's yet another bogus Gary Newman on twitter: I am Gary, you are Gary, we are all Gary (again)
Elon Musk need not worry about snowflakes quitting twitter and so numbers dropping. He seems to be getting new folks joining all the time. The hate preacher Anjem Choudary says that if Elon believes in free speech he wants to rejoin in order to preach his support for ISIS, for killing jews and homosexuals and for turning Buckingham Palace into a mosque, Over to you Elon. And there are new bogus Gary Newman's appearing, to swell the ranks of Elon's customers. This one has now disappeared but, as you can see below, a new bogus Gary has appeared.

James Cropper plc – “Half Year Trading Update” spooks market, why has it taken it until now to warn?
Paper products and materials company James Cropper (CRPR) has issued a “Half Year Trading Update” including that revenues “were up on the prior year (H1 2021) by 26%… Order books are full and the company is focused on a range of enabling actions to build a solid foundation for continued future growth”. So why are the shares currently at 850p, down more than 14.5%?

MGC Pharmaceuticals – so desperate to place but pro tem more death spiral vicar? Dismal quarterlies
I have warned you for a long time, notably with this dossier HERE, that Standard Listed MGC Pharmaceuticals (MXC) is a dog with fleas drowning in a sea of red flags. Today’s quarterlies, coming after six ramptastic announcements so far this month are piss poor and written with intent to deceive.

In my experience, 99% of rumoured speculative takeovers never happen!
There are two really busy weeks at this time of year: the last week of October and the first week of November. However, I have noted something else about recent times, a Monday is often a relatively quiet day. So, unlike the Boomtown Rats, I do like a Monday, mainly because I spent almost all of the last weekend playing catch up with the global corporate earnings season. Guess what is going to happen next weekend too… Until I get a bit older and more knackered, anyway. I wrote about International Consolidated Airlines Group (IAG) aka the previous British Airways last Friday, but I see The Times reports today that the “British Airways owner looks to snap up rivals as easyJet (EZJ) falters”.

BREAKING: Vast Resources bailout funding to stave off insolvency but warns will need another as MONSTER investor deception revealed AGAIN
On 24 October Vast Resources (VAST) held a GM where shareholders voted to allow it to issue more shares. But fear not, the chairman stated “ It should be stressed that there is no commitment at this time to issue the new equity share capital for which authority is sought, and it remains the policy of the Directors to minimise such issues.” That was deceptive as the company HAD to raise money this month to avoid going bust. Today, as I predicted, came the deeply discounted placing.

Argo Blockchain – they think it’s all over...The Fat Lady leads the pitch invasion
Fear not. All of the rogues involved in ramping this one over the years have already made vast sums through share dumping and bloated cash payments. Peter Wall, Zak Mir, disgraced broker Andy Frangos, Adrian Beeston, John Story the list of colourful characters goes on and on but they are all okay, there is no need for them to launch a Go Fund Me page. But, Argo Blockchain (ARB) served up dire news this morning which means those mug punters, bulletin board morons and institutional investors alike, who have ignored my numerous warnings, will soon do their conkers.

There's Gold in Brazil and Inflation may Help Make this Local Miner's Share Price Glitter
Hello Share Seekers. Some financial analysts seem to have given up tipping shares altogether, unless they’re recommending shorting them. This old punter rarely suggests you sell shares, so I find it rather hard to find companies to bring before you in these dangerous days. But let’s try a gold miner I rather like the look of.

The fraud Umuthi - a final stake in its LSE heart from the FCA?
Those who read our devastating series of exposes on Umuthi Healthcare (UHS) will have been in now doubt that company brought to market here in London by the fraudster Queen, was a fraud. The real scandal was that the FCA ignored all the red flags to allow a listing. At least, in the end, it gave Umuthi the boot. Umuthi appealed but that appeal was last week rejected.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Sohail I am not an expert but who is?
I prepare for Halloween with pumpkin carving and soup today. Photos tomorrow. Sohail says he has given up on gold "experts". I discuss this and then onto another area where there are a lot of "experts" who all talk their own book and it is the same one. I discuss house prices, volumes and stocks who I reckon will have a bad time includfing Purplebricks (PURP) which I expect to go bust in 2024, or possibly sooner

Golden Prospect – Duff Interims but No Problem…..Still A Buy.
Fully-listed (mainly) Gold investor, Golden Prospect (GPM) released its interims to June 2022 last week. With the Gold price slipping over the period and Gold miners underperforming the metal, the numbers were not good – hardly a surprise, given that Golden Prospect’s shares outperform in both directions – but reader Goobs spotted what looked at first sight like it might be a bit of a problemo. I made a few enquiries……

What does the reintroduction of the fracking ban mean for the UK onshore industry, and is it still worth investing in companies in this sector?
When Liz Truss became Prime Minister one of the first things she did was to reverse the moratorium on fracking in England, and now just a short while later we have seen another U-turn by the Conservatives, with Rishi Sunak reintroducing that ban.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Malcolm is wrong, wrong, wrong today
Comrade Malcolm Stacey is yakking on about buying green shite shares again today. I explain why he is wrong at four levels to do so. I reference an article I wrote today HERE on floods in Pakistan and a few years ago on droughts in Zim South, specifically Cape Town. On Global warming do not acccept what the MSM, especially Malcolm's pals at the BBC tell you, drill down to the core facts... Today's episode shows again that there is no "house view" on this website

The View From The Montana Log-Cabin As Gold Still Goes Nowhere But A Red Fed Warning Light Flashes
Gold finished this week at $1646 per oz, marginally down on last week’s $1658 and almost back to the $1645 of the week before. Gold is going nowhere fast, although the Gold mining ETFs I have been keeping an eye on are still gaining modest strength, as can be seen from the chart below (courtesy of ADVFN).
