Verditek (VDTK) is a company that I have exposed as a serial liar and warned about many times before and my bearishness has been vindicated. Last August, at peak ramp, the shares stood at 18p. Egged on by disgraced share tipster Mike Walters, some folks paid almost 20p a pop. Today the spread is 3.7p-3.9p but even that values this business at £12.8 million which is insane as fair value is clearly zero. The valuation tells you everything you need to know about the insane market in which we operate.

Oh dear, oh dear. Excuses are like arseholes. We all have them but nobody cares. And natch the fraud Supply@ME Capital (SYME) has excuses as to why calendar 2020 accounts have been delayed but they do not stack up.

I was a little confused as I scanned through the financial headlines: Alliance News apparently was telling readers yesterday (Wednesday) that Kier Group (KIE) Swings to interim profit as restructuring costs fall. But was that really true? No it is #fakenews as is so often the case from Alliance.

Last night, Bluebird Merchant Ventures’ (BMV), pro tem, partner in Korea, Aussies Southern Gold, spilled the beans on how the buyout talks on Kochang and Gubong are going.  I suggest that you should buy Bluebird shares first thing and that Bluebird needs to issue an RNS ASAP.

Hello Share Crushers. Stupidly, I’ m sometimes drawn to companies with attractive names, rather than, for example, a collection of grey initials. And indeed catchy brand names as opposed to boring ones can be a sign of a modern-thinking ambitious outfit. Which brings me to the sunny-sounding Yew Grove REIT (YEW). 

Fully-listed Egyptian gold producer Centamin (CEY) offered up its first quarter report this morning and the big news is that once again the outlook is unchanged. Given the ground movement issues revealed last autumn and the consequent reduction in gold produced and higher costs, it is pleasing to see that the company’s response is thus far working out as planned.

Previously writing on visitor-related media and marketplaces group and former Woodford pick Time Out (TMO) I noted it is (as warned here) material dilution ahoy again. There has now been “Results of General Meeting, Placing and Open Offer”…

I discuss that surprise windfall, the Mrs getting her jab and look at Wildcat (WCAT), MyHealthChecked (MHC), Versarien (VRS) and Vast Resources (VAST).

Infection and prevention control products company Byotrol (BYOT) “is pleased to announce an update on trading” – and the shares have currently responded more than 14% higher to 7p. What’s the story?…

In 2008, shares in Vast Resources (VAST) traded at 24.6p. Today they trade at 0.082p. In other words, those running this company have, while trousering multi-millions of pounds in fees, managed to destroy 99.67% of shareholder value. While many companies do badly for shareholders, the trick here is to keep the company going so more fees can be extracted as part of an ongoing shareholder screw. Now the board wants shareholder permission for more of the same. I urge shareholders to say NO!

Enthusiasts for St James House (SJH) like to cite that it only has 4,669,808 shares currently in issue, with a low market capitalisation of circa £2 million and that many of these shares are held by current and former directors as positives for the stock.

Mobile data computing solutions and managed services company Touchstar (TST) “is pleased to announce its final results for the year ended 31 December 2020” and includes that it “has made a better-than-expected start to 2021”. So why are the shares, at 74p, currently nearly 13% lower in response?…

A busy earnings Thursday today…and so I am going to mention a couple of names which are exposed – in slightly different ways – to the UK housing market.

Wildcat Petroleum (WCAT) is putting out statements which are so misleading as to be on the borderline of fraudulent. As it is Standard Listed, there is no Nomad to sign off on RNS releases which clearly are deceptive and it is thus down to the woke dullards at the FCA to stop jerking off on ESG porn and to act to stop Wildcat misleading investors. Today’s RNS is just utter bollocks, surely the FCA must act.

Hello, Share Charmers. The City isn’t sure what to make of the latest trading update from Biome Technologies (BIOM). At one stage the shares jumped on the day, then they fell by 7%. That’s often the problem with a company which seems to have better future prospects than its most up to date, but still historic, performance. It’s a situation where the least bit of RNS good news can galvanise the share price.

And now from Wales, by just 30 yards, it is my new weekly video show. This costs 99p per episode, and you can either listen to, or watch, some sparky interviews with Charlie Morris a bitcoin guru where we also discuss gold and the markets and Malcolm Palle of Aquis listed Coinsilum which is now an NFT play Plus there are a few thoughts on wider stockmarket issues from me. This bitcoin, blockchain & NFT special has a lot of gags but is also, I hope, pretty informative.You can access the show HERE 

My video with Optibiotix (OPTI) boss Steve is with Darren and the show should go live tomorrow. But I pick up on one point and that is the behaviour of IIs vs PIs.  Then with that also in mind, I look at Savannah Resources (SAV), comment on Big Sofa (BST) and then on the fun and games at Versarien (VRS) which could well bring my 0p target a lot sooner than I had thought.  We have now raised more than £15,000 ( with gift aid) as the rogue bloggers for Woodlarks. Thank you to Jocelyn and Vin for two big donations today, can you please also be generous and donate HERE.

Self-styled “leading provider of online search, merchandising and personalization solutions for ecommerce” Attraqt Group (ATQT) is “pleased to provide” a first quarter trading update. Why do the shares remain at 41.5p, down from 48p reached earlier this year?…

Overall, I suppose, things are going the right way for now delisted Big Sofa (BST) but just a bit more slowly than we might have hpoed. Will we loyal shareholders get a takeover within 18 months? I still hope so. But I am not going to count any chickens just yet. Anyhow as I can’t sell my shares I have no choice but to wait. Here is the April update from CEO Kirsty Fuller.

On Monday I published the fascist and third rate lawyers letter sent on behalf of loathsome Versarien (VRS) boss Neill Ricketts to a Bulletin Board critic.  Ricketts has nmot got a hope in hell of winning in court and the disclosure process would ruin him and destroy Versarien. the critic knows that and so has responded to the muddle headed 12th rate lawyers acting for Ricketts. That response is below.
