Hold the Boxing Day leftovers Dinner! I have the result of this year’s ShareProphets Red Flags at Night Christmas Sweepstakes – the question was how many dodgy company announcements would be offered up to the market on the no-one-is-watching day of Christmas Eve and this year’s competition was a nail-biter. Worse still, I nearly won – which would never do. We had predictions ranging from as low as 2 (although to be fair it was dripping in cynicism on the grounds that RNS is so “old hat”) from Jules2k6 up to 24 from BlueFrewExile. Here is my summary.

And now from Wales, by just 30 yards, it is my new weekly video show. This costs 99p per episode, and you can either listen to, or watch, some sparky interviews with Ed McDermott of FastForward Innovations (FFWD) on cannabis stocks and his company. This is, I think, the most interesting CEO interview to date. Then I discuss a new share I have invested a five figure sum into on behalf of the company. Finally there is bear raider turned bull, the bard of the Boleyn, Lucian Miers. You can access the show HERE

I have always warned folks about this company, even before its shares were suspended at 30p last Christmas Eve, giving it a £250 milllion market cap. Others ramped away or took vast fees (bucket shop adviser Novum and PR Chris Lane at Buchanan) step forward. But this was always a failing business drowning in red flags. Today it 'fessed. Well sort of. It also lied.Published 15 December 2022, 08:30
Yesterday shares in Asimilar (ASLR) plunged 32% to sub 4p. The last stated NAV was – at March 31 – 25.3p so why the plunge. There are three scenarios.Published 21 December 2019, 14:39
I seem to have reacted badly to my flu jab and have thus only just got up. I am still not 100% but maybe will be so tomorrow. Pro tem I offer up thoughts on the clear market abuse at Dev Clever (DEV) and the 6.06 PM comedy gold at Bidstack (BIDS).

I refer not to life at the Welsh Hovel where I have more workman issues but to Dev Clever (DEV) and my exposé of earlier HERE. I also comment on Verditek (VDTK), Deepverge (DVRG) run by journalist trolling arse Gerry Brandon, the serial AIM Rule Breaker, and Kefi (KEFI) where I remain a loyal, if somewhat trappist, shareholder.
Published 24 February 2020, 14:41
I start with the rising flood waters here at the Welsh Hovel, which are now about two or three yards from the bottom step leading to the back door. Then it is onto Coronavirus, where it is starting to sink in as to how bad it could be in terms of fear and our behaviour if not actual deaths. Then onto what filing management accounts means and the question of possible securities fraud at Dev Clever (DEV), which I have flagged up with the FCA today. Then, as per the screenshot below, it is the changing behaviour of Neill Ricketts at Versarien (VRS) and what that tells us about the regulatory hole he is in and why Canaccord quit as Nomad. Finally a comment on Bahamas Petroleum (BPC), its piss poor death spiral and crazy valuation.

Oh dear, Oh dear, as my old pal Michael Walters would say as one of the many duffers he had tipped aggressively had an encounter with the Fat Lady. The house of cards that is Audioboom (BOOM), AAA, and Asimilar (ASLR) is starting to collapse.

In today's podcast I look aty one theory about the past 48 hourse at Great Western Mining (GWMO). i shall be asking the FCA to investigate. I pass on a rumour about Zenith Energy (ZEN) which, if true, will rapidly accelerate its already inevitable demise and I explain why directors of Dev Clever (DEV) should be in jail. Hell's teeth, Dev's year end is November 30 not December 31 as I thought, making this case of securities fraud even worse than I describe in the bearcast. Lock em up starting with boss Chris Jeffries. Again I shall be contacting the FCA. I also look at NMC Health (NMC) and Novacyt (NCYT). Now that we are at 5 rogue bloggers for Woodlarks, with more rogue bloggers gto be announced soon, surely all listeners can spare a tenner to donate HERE

Welcome to Unit 1, Ninian Park, Ninian Way, Wilnecote, Tamworth B77 5ES. The global head quarters of a company losing money and capitalised at £221 million. That company is Dev Clever (DEV). Our past coverage suggests that there should be a forest of red flags flying around this building. There is not. But is it really plausible that this small lock up can be the HQ of a company which, with its shares at 36.5p, is capitalised at £221 million?

I start by flagging up that I aim to publish an 85 page dossier, m an opus magnus, on the sort of company Zak Mir promotes at 8.30 AM tomorrow behind the paywall. I see it as a zero. Then I discuss why Zak is, contrary to some suggestions here otherwise, a total and utter genius who did not kill Maddie and then look at his analysis of Jubilee Metals (JLP). I move on to why I’ve bought more shares in AEX Gold (AEXG) before looking at the nest of snakes at Dev Clever (DEV), its bonkers valuation and why it must collapse. I reference this excellent expose of that nest of snakes. I look at investor grief and what is happening at Supply@ME Capital (SYME) and what will happen – and when – at Dev.

I am prompted by my hero Mr Peter Tatchell and having checked with another hero, Mr Kelvin MacKenzie, that I am not misquoting him, I shall be penning a piece tonight on this fascinating subject. Elsewhere I look at Pendragon (PDG), Nostra Terra Oil & Gas (NTOG), Wishbone Gold (WSBN), Tern (TERN), Dev Clever (DEV), and Supply@ME Capital (SYME) and why the FCA MUST act against the last two enterprises on my list today.
