DVRG

This ADVFN thread has not aged well - the moron who says he has lost £700,000 on Deepverge

The thread consists of just three posts and was when Deepverge (DVRG) shares were 21p. A few months earlier they had crossed 40p. What was wrong?

ANG

Angling Direct – interims state “pleased to have continued to grow sales”… but not anymore?

Previously writing on fishing retailer Angling Direct (ANG), in August with the shares down to 30p I concluded that the trajectory of trading saw me retain my cautious stance of most recently a 62p share price. The shares most recently closed at 32p but are currently below 30p on the back of half-year results.

BREAKING: Curzon Energy – time to come clean about your related party RTO and just go bust

On February 3 2021 failed oil explorer Curzon Energy (CZN) announce a short term loan the start of RTO discussions with Poseidon Enhanced Technologies Limited (PET). The period of exclusivity and repayment of that loan has now been extended 16 times but still the pretence goes on.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: two years after my father's death two reasons he'd be happy today and one is celebratory ouzo

I explain what the other is and why I deserve a glass of the nectar of the God's later. It is all to do with Deepverge (DVRG) and the vindication of yesterday's scoop. I also explain for BB Moron Stuart Little why breaking the news of the placing was not only not illegal but was a real public service by me and also why I shall be writing to the FCA later asking for it to investigate placings by Turner Pope and Turner Pope's clients. Ben and James, a.k.a. the Mitchell Brothers, that letter is not "market speculation" it is fact you dimwitted bellends. Then it is onto Argo Blockchain (ARB), Vast Resources (VAST) and to Wildcat Petroleum (WCAT).

THRU

Thruvision – emphasises revenue growth, but what about the prior comparative and cash flow?

People-screening technology group Thruvision (THRU) states that it “is pleased to provide an update on trading for the six months ended 30 September 2022” and the shares have currently responded up to 23.7p in response to the update. I having previously written on the group a year ago, what’s the story now?

The volatile and excitable world of Barratt Developments (and other home builders)

It is always interesting times in the world’s financial markets, but sometimes it is more interesting than average. And as for sectors and stocks, Barratt Developments (BDEV) is one of the more fascinating names in the FTSE 100 at the moment given the obsession with the housing sector and the company’s over 50% share price fall year-to-date. And it is probably a good thing that I do not own the stock myself as it is down a further 5% this morning after publishing a trading update.

PYC

Physiomics – again a “Contract Award”, again attempted ramptastic?

“Contract Award” announcement from drug development consultancy Physiomics (PYC) and the shares are currently up approaching 24% to 2.60p in response... so clearly material news?

GOTCHA: Deepverge admits my placing expose true but then tells blatant porkies (again)

Oh Dear, Oh dear, what is it with Deepverge (DVRG) boss Gerry “the arse” Brandon and misleading investors? It is like Warren Beatty and his sex addiction, the arse just cannot help himself.  He has admitted that my deeply discounted placing expose of yesterday is true and the shares have again collapsed. Oh dear. Oh dear.

BREAKING EXPOSE: More howling prospectus errors signed off by the FCA – Supply@ME Capital and the £24m blunder

The FCA must approve any prospectus for the Standard List and it has approved that for the fraud Supply@ME Capital (SYME) so allowing it to issue more of its worthless shares. At a proper regulator heads would roll for these massive blunders.

The Sparky Grid Powers On with Bigger Profits and Hopes of an Electrifying Future

Hello Share People. It’s hard to see National Grid (NG.) not powering ahead in the future. For one thing it has a monopoly in this country, at least. And the world seems to be moving towards ever more consumption of electric power as more inventions hit the marketplace. Like electric cars, buses and trains, for instance.

BREAKING SHOCKING EXPOSE: Deepverge on week long roadshow seeking £8 million at just 3p

The roadshow started yesterday says a reliable City source. Having raised £10 million last June at 30p c/o the scholars and gentlemen at Turner Pope and blown all of that plus a £4 million Riverfort loan already, Deepverge (DVRG) cannot make the first £500,000 loan repayment to Riverfort due on Sunday as I discussed earlier.

Boom

Video: The Biggest Wealth Destruction Event in History

Ronald-Peter Stoerferle, author of the  "In Gold We Trust" reports is a cheery fellow. He  believes that recession concerns will be the focus in the United States instead of inflation. This may provide the Fed some leeway as the public will be distracted by the economy. Europe will be more concerned with sticky inflation issues as energy problems continue. He says that Europe is definitely in a recession, and it’s quite likely the United States is now as well.

SMRT

SmartSpace Software – interims, sufficient liquidity to reach net cash generation?

Previously writing on “leading provider of 'Integrated Space Management Software' for smart buildings and commercial spaces' visitor reception, desks and meeting rooms” SmartSpace Software (SMRT), in August with the shares down to 43.5p I noted that the financials and valuation saw me continue to avoid. The shares have currently responded to results for the half-year ended 31st July 2022 today slightly higher to 38p, so what now?

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast - Unemployment at 50 year low but when will Neill Ricketts bump up the number by one?

I look at unemployment data and why it is utterly misleading whatever the wretched Tories claim. Lies, damned lies and statistics. Then at what share prices can tell you: Versarien (VRS), Nightcap (NGHT) and Argo Blockchain (ARB).

Ashtead – stockmarket darling for many years, now a short

It has been a stockmarket darling for years but plant hire group Ashtead (AHT) is a short at a current 4230p share price, around £19 billion market cap, and here is why.

ETP

Eneraqua Technologies – interims emphasise revenue growth…so what about the bottom-line?

Energy and water systems company Eneraqua Technologies (ETP) states that it “is pleased to announce its interim results for the six months ended 31 July 2022”...and the shares have currently responded approaching 14% higher in response to the announcement to 262p. So what’s the news?

Argo Blockchain – Dire monthly trading update & share price crash begs massive questions about rescue refinancing

Last Friday’s news of an emergency refinancing package at Argo Blockchain (ARB) made clear – as I explained HERE – how bad the cash crisis has become. Today’s September trading update makes it so clear that even Stevie Wonder can now see what is happening. The update is a car crash from start to finish but Argo uses its same cut and paste from better times and says that it is “pleased” to provide the update. Yeah: whatever.,..

Marks Electrical – states “confident of achieving our full year targets”…as paid-for researcher slashes forecasts. Hmmm!

Writing on UK online electrical retail group Marks Electrical (MRK) in August with the shares at 72p I concluded the macro conditions saw me question already the bottom-line impact and for how long revenue will stand-up, ahead of half-year update/results avoid / sell. Today it updates on its half-year ended 30th September, emphasising “Continued revenue momentum, leading to market share gains and robust cash flow generation”, and the shares have responded up...to currently 58.5p. So what’s the story now?

BREAKING: Argo Blockchain faces US class action claiming fraud by company and directors

It never rains but it pours. I shall turn to today’s disastrous trading update from Argo Blockchain (ARB) shortly. But first, news comes in from New York of a potential class action against Argo ands its board, prompted by an investigation as to whether Argo and certain of its officers and/or directors have engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices. Of course they have!
