Toyota/Tesla Pair Trade will be Home and Hosed by the Emperor's next Birthday.

Hats off to PABaker for correctly answering my little quiz on Thursday to celebrate the Emperor of Japan's birthday The two unnamed companies were indeed Toyota and Tesla. Despite a much lower market value (the gap is closing fast) Toyota boasts much higher revenues and profits and also has the advantage of not being run by a sociopathic drug addict.

Transense Technologies – interims, some investment costs but a growth BUY

Sensor technology and measurement systems company Transense Technologies (TRT) has announced results for its half-year ended 31st December 2023 and that “planned investment in sales and marketing activity at Translogik is opening new market channels” and “there is an increasing momentum of commercial enquiries and contracted business in SAWsense with high quality global customers”. Good news from a current 107p offer price for the shares?
ESP

Cap and Gown Property Company could See its Share Price Earn Top Marks

Hello Share Crazies. Empiric Student Property (ESP) is a REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) enterprise. That means it has to hand most of its profits back to shareholders. And that’s why I tend to favour companies under this favoured umbrella. I’ve also noticed that REIT’s can do better than most of their peers.

Croma Security Solutions – interims, we are ahead but still a trading and strategy progress Buy

Croma Security Solutions (CSSG) has announced results for its half-year ended 31st December 2023 and argues that it is “well-placed to deliver year-on-year growth despite continuing difficult macro conditions”. The shares of this 70p offer price December tip have responded up to now 73p to buy, but we suggest there is further upside from the £10 million market capitalisation.

Tribal Group – “NTU Contract Update”, a damages demand ‘increase’ that dare not speak that name?

Education software and services group Tribal (TRB) has issued an “NTU Contract Update”-titled announcement… and the shares, already down from a start of 2024 above 55p, are currently further lower at around 42p in response. So what is the “contract update”?

Blowing almost £800,000 a year for the sake of just £13,271.24 - the sorry tale of Neil Murphy

Neil Murphy was sacked as CEO of Bytes Technology (BYIT) earlier this week after the company discovered that he had traded repeatedly in the shares without declaring it. My reputation may be that of being a complete bastard when it comes to corporate malfeasance but, though Murphy was rightly sacked and I hope without any compensation, as details emerge of his trades, I almost feel sorry for him.

Verditek from 20p to 0.09p in 3 ½ years (and still overvalued!) … vote for administration and to hold Gollum, Lord Willetts and the other guilty men to account

Oh dear. Oh Dear. As the now retired and disgraced share tipster Old Mother Mike Walters used to say as yet another of his share tips crashed and burned. Oh yes. This WAS one of his share tips. Just three and a half years ago he was pumping it hard at 20p and ridiculing those of us who exposed its lies, cash crises and piss poor IP. After an update today, the shares are just 0.09p but still way overvalued.

Kefi Gold & Copper – another discovery in Saudi Arabia, a multiple catalysts Strong Buy

Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) has announced the discovery of a third copper-gold-zinc-silver deposit in the broader Hawiah district by its 25%-owned joint venture Gold & Minerals Ltd, with this further strengthening its view that the Hawiah deposit itself is only the first in a cluster of such deposits. Good news!

Tintra and its suspension on JP Jenkins: has it been wound up or not?

It seems that some folks do respond to articles published on this website. I refer to the can of worms, downing in red flags POS, aka The AIM Company of the Year 2022, Tintra (TNT). You will remember that on February 1, matched bargain platform JP Jenkins announced that Tintra shares had been admitted to the platform

Time to bank winnings on Invinity and close the short?

I suggested shorting green energy play Invinity Energy Systems (IES) at a 30.5p mid on January 22. The shares were 23.5p mid when this piece first appeared and are now 24.5p mid and I suggest you bank your gains. Let me explain.

React Group – a further trading and strategic delivery BUY with almost 50% upside

Shares in cleaning, hygiene and decontamination group React (REAT) exceeded 3.5p in 2021 and were 1.7p as recently as November last year. Currently available at a 1.4p offer price following recently-announced results for its year ended 30th September 2023, we consider the shares a misunderstood Buy with a 2p+ share price again quite realistic in the near-term. The following is why.

A Fitting Birthday Present for the Heavenly Sovereign

Tomorrow the Emperor of Japan, Naruhito, celebrates his 64th birthday. It is a national holiday. The gift from his stock market which will be closed has therefore arrived one day early. Today the Nikkei 225 index ripped to its all time high, finally overtaking the 38957 level last achieved 34 years ago when he was in his twenties, and of lot of readers were probably not even born.

Tortilla Mexican Grill – “CEO Succession” announcement. Why the “succession” so soon?…

Describing itself as “the UK's largest fast-casual Mexican restaurant brand” (er, what’s the competition for this small niche?), Tortilla Mexican Grill (MEX) has announced that it “has been notified by Richard Morris of his intention, following a distinguished 35 year career in hospitality and 10 years with the company, to step down from the board and from his role of Chief Executive Officer at the end of March 2024”. Hmmm, seems quite soon with it already near the end of February?

Avacta: what price the fund raise which is coming as sure as eggs are eggs?

I am NOT saying that Avacta (AVCT) or its agents are sounding out about a fund raise just yet although they may be and the recent share price action suggests that something is afoot. But, as I warned most recently HERE, Avacta will have to raise this year and if it is smart it will not leave it to the wire. Events at Faron Pharma (FARN) in recent days suggest that investor appetite for stocks in this sector is not quite what it once was….

RBG Holdings – “pleased to announce a proposed fundraising”. Why’s that then?…

Legal and professional services company RBG Holdings (RBGP) today states that it “is pleased to announce a proposed fundraising to raise, in aggregate, minimum gross proceeds of approximately £2.7 million”. Is this “pleased to announce” in the same sense as IQ-AI (IQAI) I noted earlier though?
