Hello Share Finders. There’s evidence the share world hasn’t yet woken to the prospect of a better future for big medical companies. All that coverage on tv is just one example of how interest in the field is gaining. I imagine many kids now want to be doctors or nurses. And the majority of folks in Britain say they’re happier to pay higher taxes to support the NHS. A company that will do well out of extra dosh being pumped into health services around the world is Smith and Nephew (SN.).

Previously writing on marketing technology group Eagle Eye Solutions (EYE), in November with the shares up towards 600p I concluded I remained wary of the valuation multiples and continued to avoid. How’s that looking now following results for the group’s half-year ended 31st December 2021?…

Europe’s leading floorcoverings distributor group Headlam Group (HEAD) has announced its results for the 2021 calendar year and said “trading in January and February 2022 in line with plan, with the strong margin performance in 2021 maintained into 2022”.

Previously writing on promotional products group 4imprint (FOUR), in November with the shares down to around 3000p I questioned further encouraging progress. So what of now full-year results?…

Capital Metals (CMET) has been covered in the past on ShareProphets, both positively and negatively, and, on behalf of a reader,  Tom Winnifrith asked me to take a look and give my latest thoughts on this Sri Lankan focussed miner. You see, we do read your emails.

I discuss the latest developments in Ukraine. Then I move on to Fevertree (FEVR), Tern (TERN), Braveheart (BRH), Iofina (IOF)  and the fraud Chill Brands (CHLL) and the bucket shop based maths based on liquidity, or rather the lack of it. 

Previously writing on “video optimisation platform company” SEEEN plc (SEEN), in August with the shares down to 44p I concluded cautiously with that there looked much potential already discounted by the valuation. What now after it “pleased to announce a repositioning of roles for executive members of SEEEN’s board and other proposed appointments to build on the company’s momentum with respect to customer wins and its recent strategic partnership with Kinetiq, Inc.”, but the shares further down… to 16.5p!?…

I noted back in September last year that “I am still avoiding FeverTree (FEVR)” and since then the stock has fallen from above a 23 quid share price to just under 16 quid. So what should I now be thinking about the company still obsessed by the potential from the “long-mixed drink category from retailers, spirits brands and consumers, especially given the increasing focus on premium segments”?

The on off long term love affair between self-styled “Brexit bad boy” Arron Banks and perennial AIM dog Iofina (IOF) is back on, for reasons he explained to me in a tweet today as his stakebuilding emerged.

As explained HERE, sub scale investor in crap companies Tern (TERN) needs to get a placing away by April Fool’s day or it is in deep merde.  Hence a desperate attempt to ramp the shares ahead of a visit to the bucket shops for the discounted bailout. Even Tern could not bring itself to make today’s release an RNS. It is an RNS Reach meaning that it is financially immaterial. You will be amazed just how immaterial it is. As such this is a major red flag that a discounted placing is imminent so if you are buying shares in the market today you better lube up.

Hello Share Dabblers. This old punter has never recommended a furniture purveyor before. My own modest gaff doesn’t have much woodwork less than 100 years old and some of it is Elizabethan. The modern equivalent can’t hold a candle to it, in my predjudiced view. But most of the world doesn’t agree and plain, simple and chunky styles of new furniture seem to be selling well. Especially as Covid has kept more folks at home for longer. They’ve decided to pep up their living and bed rooms with newer-style furniture.

Self-described “a world leading esports solutions provider”, Gfinity (GFIN) has announced “it has conditionally raised £2.70 million… at a price of 1.25 pence per share. In addition, for every new ordinary share, subscribers in the fundraising will be issued with one warrant to subscribe for one ordinary share at the issue price. The fundraising proceeds will be used for working capital purposes… The issue price represents a discount of 2.3 per cent. to the previous day closing share price of 1.28 pence per share”. Hmmm – a “world leading esports solutions provider” requiring £2.7 million?…

My quiz question has an Irish theme, I have a Greek Hovel offer or the genesis of one and, indulge me in this day of sweet victory, I then discuss in detail the strange death of the fraud Chill Brands (CHLL) as we wait for the last rites to be read.

I was a little bit worried this morning, not because it was the Ides of March or anything like that but about how the Imperial Brands (IMB) share price might react to its announced observation of a “financial impact of an exit from Russia and the previously announced suspension of operations in Ukraine on our full-year guidance for FY22”.

Okay, Kevin Wadsworth and Patrick Karim are chartists but let’s not hold that against them.  Their calls are dramatic and bearish.

Auditor PKF LittleJohn will already be considering the unenviable task of auditing the accounts of its fraudulent client Chill Brands (CHLL) for the year ending March 31 2022. Given that Chill is now already teetering on the brink of insolvency I would suggest that PKF asks for payment up front. In light of the shocking admission today, I felt it wise to mark the card of PKF and my good friends at the Financial Reporting Council on two matters. My letter is below:

Aptitude Software Group (APTD) has announced 2021 results emphasising “good progress” and that it “is well positioned to benefit from the two recognised strategic growth drivers of finance digitization and subscription management”. So why a current 310p share price in response?, down 22.5%?…

Shares in Aim-listed URU Metals (URU) have been on the rise and this morning the company issued an RNS regarding drilling news from 74.8% majority-owned ZEB Nickel, listed in Toronto (ZBNI) regarding the Zebediela Nickel project in South Africa. The RNS is, natch, very positive but I wonder if it really is.

At the start of this month Mobile Streams (MOS) was “delighted to announce its monthly revenue now exceeds $150,000 per month across all channels. This is an increase of 87.5% in monthly revenue since the company’s update on 1 December 2021”. However, revenue is, of course, vanity and today “Placing and Proposed partnership”…

This is awful. After a number of communications between myself and the FCA, the regulator of the Standard List, the fraud Chill Brands (CHLL) has been forced to come clean on its related party “loan”. And the truth is awful. Chill now admits that nearly all of its H1 sales were in fact booked to a key shareholder which has not paid for the product bought. This is a pig and pork fraud as I suggested in THIS podcast sent to the FCA the other day.
