Revolution Bars, from bad to worse: surely Luke Johnson is not daft enough to keep this afloat?

On the occasion of its most recent profits warning on January 24, Steve Moore rightly flagged up that the real issue was the balance sheet. Today the chickens have come home to roost at Revolution Bars (RBG)

Virgin Wines UK – interims, states “confidence in ability to meet FY24 profit expectations”… but doesn’t bother to indicate what those are…

The shares have currently responded up to 41.5p, but is there value including with they still down from above 50p as recently as September?

Does Superdry have to publish an RNS or should the FCA being arresting someone at ADVFN

Evil Banksta points out to me that the share price of Superdry (SDRY) is a tad frothy today, up 13% at 27.4p. Over on the ADVFN asylum someone claiming to be an employee has “news”

Letter to AIM Regulation: musicMagpie (again)

As I explained in bearcast yesterday, HERE, I think that musicMagpie (MMAG) is a zero. One think keeping the shares up, at 7.15p rather than closer to zero, is the misguided belief in some quarters that the company is going to get a takeover. I have written to the Oxymorons at AIM Regulation as you can see below.

Tandem – 2023 results, a “promising start” to 2024…that it dare not detail!

Shares in “sports, leisure and mobility equipment” group Tandem (TND) had remained well down from a start-of-2022 575p but had risen from below 150p to above 200p in 2024, so what of they currently back down to 200p on the back of the group’s 2023 results announcement?

BREAKING: Ben’s Creek is a life raft being readied by MBU ahead of administration? Tell us about Freeland...

As my old pal Doc Holliday says “rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat” MBU run by Iqbal Mohammed and Adam Wilson bought the worthless assets of Ben’s Creek (BEN) for buttons from a bank that had foreclosed on the prior owner. MBU packaged them up, floated it, pumped the stock, dumped its shares at bonkers prices ad vended in more pointless assets leaving the cash burning company drowning in debt and unpaid bills. The word on the street is that with contractors unpaid, a highwall miner being taken off site, activity on the ground has almost ceased. There should be an RNS…

Pennpetro: the news is so bad even Big Dave Lenigas cannot tweet polish this turd

What has happened to my old pal David Lenigas? Normally he is on twitter ramping away happily any stock where he or his bromance pal Richard Poulden are in charge or have an interest. But this morning as Pennpetro (PPP) where the chairman is a Mr. David Lenigas, has served up a trading statement, Big Dave has gone all twitter trappist.

Aeorema Communications – interims emphasise “a resilient blue-chip client base”, but why a profit warning the company dare not detail then?

“Strategic communications group” Aeorema Communications (AEO) was in the portfolio on the HotStockRockets website until a small profit was banked at 72p in November last year as results then included that “many brands are delaying projects and pushing them into the first half of calendar year 2024”. The shares most recently closed at 75p, but what of them currently down below 60p on the back of a “Interim Results and FY Projections”-titled announcement?

Tom Winnifrith Bonus Bearcast: Can I trust Steve O'Hara any more or recommend Optibiotix shares?

Today's placing is a bit of a kick in the gonads. I discuss it and hope that O'Hara takes what is said on board.

GCM Resources new Chairman is a kiss of death, run to the hills, run for your life

GCM Resources (GCM) has announced that it has a new NED and Chairman, a Mr. Paul Shackleton. Does that name ring a bell? It should and appointing this man makes GCM’s shares utterly uninvestable. Listen to the wise words of Iron Maiden.

Tern – As It Circles The Plughole, An Investor Presentation: When’s The Next Discounted Bailout Placing?

As shares in AIM-listed jam-tomorrow (or never, more likely) investment company Tern plc (TERN) dive to yet more new lows – now just 1.7p – I see it has announced an online investor presentation. Hmm……I wonder why!

The View From The Montana Log-Cabin As Gold Tries And Fails To Push Further Higher

Gold ended the week at $2,165 – up a little on the prior week’s $2,156 but a bit disappointing given that the yellow metal was up through $2,200 earlier in the week. Gold stocks, whilst well up in the last month, stalled as the Fed and the useless Andrew Bailey held interest rates as can be seen on the chart of Gold vs. GDX (majors), GDXJ (juniors) and GOEX (explorers).
