Now really is a good time to short Avacta, its shareholder base is terribly naive
I started writing about biotech and emerging pharma stocks more than 30 years ago when I was at the Investors Chronicle. The army of PI cheerleaders for Avacta (AVCT) probably have not heard of British Biotech, a £2 billion blow up, of ML Labs a half a billion blow up. Almost thirty years ago I exposed both companies for the overvalued crocks they were and also for the way that they duped investors with misleading releases.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Take a Butcher's at the High Divi Outfit that Cashes in on One of the Windiest Places in Europe.
Hello Share Fans. Do you fancy an investment in green energy, but are a bit put off by the unreliability of some denizens of the sector? Then may I suggest a company that invests in existing wind farms and sells the power to utility companies.- By Malcolm Stacey |

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Xtract, its balance sheet is not real and it must be doing a placing soon?
In today's podcast I discuss, at length, Dispensa (DISP) and the other three worthless companies in that stable with reference to intangible assets. I then move to Colin Bird's Xtract Resources (XTR) which is, I reckon, running on vapours and whose balance sheet is also, almost entirely, intangibles.. Then there is Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) and another RNS that stinks, Kefi (KEFI), chat to 'arry as folks plague me and Ben's Creek (BEN) and why it is a zero.- By Tom Winnifrith |

The FCA and Disgraced Link fight off Harcus Parker legal challenge on Neil Woodford Settlement: judgement in full
I do not think that the settlement the FCA and ACD Link agreed to compensate victims of Neil Woodford is a fair and good one. I believe as the ACD which was clearly massively negligent, Link should have paid more and that somehow Woodford himself should be paying as should the FCA itself for ignoring hundreds of warnings from myself and Cynical Bear dating back to 2015. But that is neither here nor there.- By Tom Winnifrith |

BREAKING: Dispensa – repeated failures to impair Goodwill, a £20m deceit!
Yesterday I made an error with regard to the goodwill at Dispensa (DISP), the crock formerly known as Zamaz. The other accounting howlers and deceits I Identified stand. I have now looked into the goodwill in far more detail. And what emerges is a scandal of at least £20 million which I will be urging my pals at the FRC to look into at once.premium content
Vindicated again: Ben’s Creek ‘fesses to cash crisis and CEO Adam Wilson is being resigned
On Michael Walters day it would be rude not to start a tale of another disaster of the sort in which he specialized in any other way than by saying “Oh dear, Oh dear.” As I have warned for a while, most recently HERE, trading at Ben’s Creek (BEN) is dire and the company faces a cash crisis. And so today we have a ‘fess up RNS and, as a bonus, CEO and founder Adam Wilson will “be resigned” as soon as someone can be found to commit CV hara kiri and take over. More ouzo for the sheriff!- By Tom Winnifrith, the Sheriff of AIM |

VSA Capital caves to Silverwood, told y’all
As a loyal, if wholly unwitting, shareholder in Aquis listed VSA Capital (VSA) perhaps I should not crow to much about the news that humble pie is on the menu today at Oriel College Oxford. That Andrew Monk and his team have climbed down in this legal tussle which will see another material writedown in the balance sheet is embarrassing but it is also sensible and for that I offer praise where it is due. Well done Monkey! Let me explain.- By Tom Winnifrith |

BREAKING: Tintra faces up winding up order, what is JP Jenkins playing at?
I have warned JP Jenkins a number of times about Tintra (TNT), formerly the AIM Company of the year 2022. But despite shocking exposes like this one yesterday, JPJ seems happy to allow shares to be traded on its platform. Well maybe the winding up order might just change that?

So farewell then MichaelWalters.com
A kind reader points out that disgraced share tipster Old Mother Walters, Mike to his good pal jailbird Asil Nadir, has shut down his share tipping website. Oh dear, Oh Dear, as Mike, once of the Daily Mail, would have said when yet another of his disastrous share tips crashed, burned and 'fessed up that it was a fraud or was nailed by a regulator.- By Tom Winnifrith |

BOOM! GOTCHA! Dispensa, as shares collapse: more exposes of accounting high jinks, when will the rats start to jump, 3 questions for the FRC to ponder!
My shocking expose of Dispensa (DISP), the crock formerly known as Zamaz, where I’ve been a perma bear since its September 2 2022 IPO at 11p seems to have somebody panicking. The shares have today crashed by 42% to just 0.95p. Which will be the next rat to jump as there is far worse to come. I shall kick off with a couple of questions for those such as PR goons Walbrook and VSA Capital, where I am unwitting shareholder, to consider as they ponder how much more reputational damage they can tolerate.- By Tom Winnifrith |

AIM Casino Market Statistics for January 2024: now back to November 2003 levels
The New Year has started with a further decline of a net 9 companies with 2 New Issues and 11 Cancellations taking the market down to 744 companies. That means that “the world’s most successful growth market” now has fewer companies listed than at any time since November 2003. But in 2003 the casino was expanding with a net 50 companies joining. These days the Casino is reversing faster than an Italian battle tank.- By Tom Winnifrith, the Sheriff of AIM |
