TruSpine – The Comedy Continues As Godot Is Promised “Shortly”

Aquis lobster-potted shambles TruSpine (TSP) updated on financing (or, rather, lack of….) and its long-awaited 2022 AGM. Yes, that’s 2022- no typo!

Moron on twitter wants Zak Mir to sue me, go ahead “brown envelope man” make my day

Once again, Gary Newman seems to be engaging with a complete poltroon, “TruthSeeker,” on twitter. Gary, life is too short to waste it debating folks with the IQ of a cheese sandwich. Just block him. TruthSeeker seems to think that I should not be allowed to write articles in the public domain suggesting that Zak Mir takes money for writing pumptastic nonsense about listed companies as that is libelous.He tweets:

Told y’all: Vast Resources, the pride of "Fatty", MINUS 99.99999% from peak, yet another share consolidation and yet another cash crisis

This is like groundhog day. The last 100 for 1 share consolidation was just 32 months ago when, laughably, dumb shareholders were told it was needed to allow dividend payments. But, no dividends and numerous placings later, Vast has again run out of cash and again its shares have slumped below the 0.1p par value. Its groundhog day!

Fusion Antibodies – discounted placing as I warned, but a share options ‘up yours’ to external shareholders too!

Just last week with its shares rising above 5p on a “pleased to announce” follow-on project award, I cautioned on antibody contract research company Fusion Antibodies (FAB) to be particularly wary of the attempted ramptastic considering its funding situation and to avoid/sell. It hasn’t taken long for a “placing” announcement!

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: 3 gold miners, a surprise lunch guest who I cannot name and a zero which is yet another triumph

I cannot name the guests for whom I cooked lunch but it has delayed me a bit, In the podcast I discuss Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI), Ariana Resources (AAU), Amaroq (AMRQ) and Dispensa (DISP), today's triumph where nothing stacks up.

TPXimpact – notes director and other shares purchases. “Positive” news?…

The corporate jargon company (oops) “technology-enabled services company focused on people-powered digital transformation”, TPXimpact (TPX) has announced CFO and share incentive plan shares purchases. What of these currently helping the shares up to 40p?

Velocity Composites – “pleased to announce” appointment of an additional broker “with immediate effect”. Now, why is that likely to be?

Describing itself as a “leading supplier of advanced composite material kits to the aerospace market”, Velocity Composites (VEL) today “is pleased to announce the appointment of Dowgate Capital Limited as the company's Joint Broker with immediate effect”. Hmmm, now why is that likely to be?

The Versarien scumbag Neill Ricketts will regret his greed as ex staff line up to blow the whistle

As I mentioned in yesterday's bearcast I am not so sure I feel that much warmth for those ex Versarien (VRS) staffers now lining up to expose various untruths and worse from the time when Neill Ricketts was in charge. When Ricketts was egging on demented shareholders to pile on against me or, worse, my wife these folks were happy to do nothing and bank their pay cheques. But better late than never and we do now have a common objective.

MediaZest – “New Business Win” Rampety-Ramp: SELL

AIM-listed dog MediaZest (MDZ) has announced a new business win, describing it as “substantial” with a “large, UK based FTSE listed client”. So why have the shares not moved?

Technology Minerals: it just cannot verify today’s statement!

The big problem with Standard Listed companies is that there is no Nomad system to ensure that statements made by companies are verifiably true and not misleading. One must just rely on the integrity and honesty of directors, fine chaps like Alessandro Zamboni and those liars from Caracal Gold (GCAT). But when, as is the case with Technology Minerals (TM1), there is the stench of fraudster Chris Cleverly’s historic involvement you must surely feel slightly uneasy. You can bet the FCA does. And that is the problem with today’s RNS.

VINDICATION! GOTCHA! Dispensa auditor quits, VSA Capital quits, company to delist, FCA humiliated again

Natch, Dispensa (DISP) being bent shysters did not mention that Andrew Monk’s VSA Capital (VSA), where I am an unwitting shareholder, had quit but its name was NOT on today’s release and the word on the street is that VSA quit on Friday. I have reached out to the most famous son of Oriel College Oxford but he has declined to confirm. But following my shocking exposes last week HERE and, especially HERE where Carrado Coen became involved, Monkey just had no choice but well done to him anyway for biting the bullet. Gotcha!

Tom Winnifrith BONUS Bearcast: all studies show that diversity causes outperformance don't they?

As it happens, whatever the BBC insists every time this comes up, they do not and those that do, i.e McKinsey 2015,look flawed. What is so often overlooked or ignored is diversity of class and thought. I refer to Bud Light in that vein. The brilliant paper by Andrew Fox I reference is HERE

Alessandro Zamboni thinks rules are for little people; 6 questions the FCA should be asking NOW!

When one is a director or a PDMR of a listed company and you buy or sell shares you should announce this to the market as soon as possible, within days. Those are the rules. But when your speciality is listing fraudulent companies, you take the view that rules only apply to little people, not to a person such as Alessandro Zamboni of Supply@ME Capital (SYME) and Regtech Open (RTOP) infamy.

Kromek – “Cancellation of £1.2m of Convertible Loan Notes”… but still more equity issuance ahoy!

Describing itself as “a leading developer of radiation and bio-detection technology solutions for the advanced imaging and CBRN detection segments”, Kromek Group (KMK) has issued a “Cancellation of £1.2m of Convertible Loan Notes”-titled announcement. Is this good news, with the shares having risen to 8p earlier this month and currently at 7.75p?

Xtract Resources is running on fumes, shares sliding ever faster: statement re placing needed

I flagged this up in bearcast last week but the silence from Colin Bird’s Xtract Resources (XTR), London’s worst Nomad “Roland “fatty” Cornish and scumbag broker, the king of the spivs, Jon Bellis at bucket shop Novum is deafening. Shares in this perennial penny dreadful are now just 0.95p and sliding fast.

In today's podcast i discuss my visit today to the Shipmans and frustration with NHS IT to get an appointment for another ailment, Versarien (VRS) and the issue of whisteblowers and then gold miners as I add to one holding and consider betting the ranch on it. I look at Centamin (CEY), Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI), Bluebird Merchant Ventures (BMV), Ariana (AAU) and Amaroq (AMRQ).

Home Secretary James Cleverly hits out against his first cousin Chris of Tingo, African Potash and Technology Minerals infamy

Okay the Home Secretary does not name his cousin, one of the UK's highest profile fraudsters thanks to the Tingo (TIO) scandal but in the tweet below talking about his new campaign "Stop! Think Fraud" he accepts the damage that fraud does. Cleverly's cousin has caused investors to lose hundreds of millions of dollars and enabled crooks to cash in big time. But what Cleverly(James) just cannot seem to understand is what is needed to tackle fraud. No politician gets it.
