Oxford Cannabinoid – a death spiral AND a bailout placing to avoid technical insolvency within weeks
Of course Oxford Cannabinoid (OCTP) pretends in its release that the death spiral is an "investment". Whatever. The fact that it cannot even be honest about that tells you everything about this entity and its CEO Clarissa Sowemimo-Coker. Crazy name. Crazy gal. Before we look at the quite desperate refinancing have a butchers at the interims which also came out today.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Canadian Overseas – what’s another billion odd pieces of worthless confetti
WHEN and not IF this company goes bust I shall be drinking Schadenfreude all day as I consider the morally bankrupt bellends at Yellow Jersey PR who smeared me on RNS or Felix, the peasant who thinks Gary Newman and I should be jail or the vermin who trolled my poor wife on twitter. I shall be merciless in my glee as I consider their suffering. Meanwhile today another billion odd pieces of confetti have been issued and that does not reduce borrowings of c $60 million by one cent!- By Tom Winnifrith |

musicMagpie Letter to AIM Regulation: statement needed
The Oxymorons at AIM Regulation maybe busy reading ESG porn or dealing with the antics of poltroon Giles Balleny at Cavendish. If they do have a spare moment they should consider why shares in musicMagpie (MMAG) have collapsed in recent days and be forcing a statement. I am 99 sure I know the reasons but it would be nice to have that confirmed. I have sent the letter below by email:- By Tom Winnifrith, the Sheriff of AIM |

AIM Regulation and Stuart Ashman: the Oxymorons don’t answer the question and I persist
The bearded poltroon in charge of Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX), where I remain a loyal shareholder, says that “rules are rules” and that AIM Regulation has insisted that he cannot do a video interview with me inside a paywall. That is a lie and I am now in dialogue with the Oxymorons who so far, as you can see, are evasive. For what it is worth, hapless moron Giles Balleny at Nomad Cavendish has already been shown to be lying by events elsewhere.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Superdry – argues “working with advisors” to build on cost saving “success”. Er, what about the increased underlying loss though?!
Fashion brand company Superdry (SDRY) has stated that it “notes the recent press speculation” and “confirms it is working with advisors to explore the feasibility of various material cost saving options. Whilst there is no certainty that any of these options are progressed, they aim to build on the success of the cost saving initiatives carried out by the company to date and position the business for long-term success”. The shares have currently responded up towards 17.5p, but the ‘cost saving options’ may “aim” to enable long-term success but are they really likely to?- By Steve Moore |

Helium One latest drill had positive helium shows but the risks are still incredibly high - buying after testing is the way to play it!
Helium One Global (HE1) has been a great example of why the rewards of holding for an exploration drill result by a small natural resources company is rarely worth the risk these days.- By Gary Newman |

Inspecs – after three months ago “with our current order book the board remains confident”, a profit warning!…
A “Full Year Trading Update” announcement today from eyewear group Inspecs (SPEC) seemingly should have been of little concern after an update three months ago noted “a solid trading performance… in line with our expectations… and, notwithstanding the ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties, with our current order book the board remains confident of delivering full year results in line with market expectations”. So what of a current share price down to 62.5p?- By Steve Moore |

Chill Brands responds to the Government disposable vaping ban but, natch, dishonestly
As first reported in the early hours of last Friday, the Government has outlined plans to ban disposable vapes and to crack down on the whole vaping sector. Chill Brands (CHLL) has responded. Natch it dissembles and omits. And the omission is material- By Tom Winnifrith |

NightCap and corporate governance, the worst on AIM?
The big elephant in the room at NightCap (NGHT) is that it missed its Christmas budget by a mile, is being booted out of its biggest venue within weeks and will run out of cash on March 25 when quarterly rents are due and that it has not ‘fessed to this as it should under AIM Rule 11. That all comes down to corporate governance where this company is among the worst on AIM, if not the worst.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Regtech Open “significant agreement signed” : bollocks

The Current Low Share Price Doesn't Seem Fair for this Great British Pharma
Hi Share Hitters. I recently ploughed back into GSK plc (GSK) shares after a giving them a longish holiday. I’d needed the money for a house purchase and had yet to reinvest. But the shares haven’t moved much of late and I rather think there might be more punters out there who’re willing to give the company another chance. Especially as the world seems to be getting less healthy by the minute.- By Malcolm Stacey |

The View From The Montana Log-Cabin As Gold Still Holds $2,000
Gold closed the week at $2019 – down a little on last week’s $2,029 but still above the $2,000 mark. I sense that the long-awaited breakout which has been predicted so many times by so many, but has still not occurred, is indeed coming but the market seems to be putting in a base at around $2,000 first.- By Nigel Somerville |

John Lewis to sack 11,000 after halving redundancy payment terms but guess who is NOT to blame?
John Lewis changed the redundancy terms for its 76,000 employees ( partners) last week. Now they will get 1 week's pay for every year served instead of two. And it now emerges that 11,000 of the 76,000 staff are going to be getting P45s. To fund this the company has added to its debt pile and had to do a sale and leaseback on 11 stores. So who is to blame?- By Tom Winnifrith |
