CMO – “the group remains well financed”. Er, why currently attempting to “strengthen… available liquidity” then?!
Describing itself as “the UK's largest online-only retailer of building materials”, CMO Group (CMO) has issued an update headlined “Progress on key strategic priorities and Q4 trading update”. Not progress on Q4 trading too then?- By Steve Moore |

Cellular Goods CEO and Chairman walks, Mike Edwards back to complete the circle of related party bollocks but SMTM
You just could not make this up. Mike Edwards and his business partner Jon Bixby owned 31% of Cellular Goods (CBX) at the time of its 5p IPO. Their vehicle Durban Holdings paid just 0.1p for nearly all of its stock and as the shares were David Beckham/disgraced Daily Mail pumped they started sell. Indeed they sold all their shares. Lovely jubbly for them.- By Tom Winnifrith |

MediaZest – Raises Just £120,000 at 0.04p: It is 'avin' a giraffe
AIM-listed MediaZest (MDZ) announced this morning that it had raised just £120,000 (before expenses) at 4p per share. This is, of course, a paltry amount – and is dwarfed by the company’s technically insolvent balance sheet.- By Nigel Somerville |

Here's Why the Legal is Likely to Land on its Feet, Sorry Claws
Hello Share People. My favourite financial outfit hasn't fared too well over the last two years. But it’s been unfairly treated in my view. And it may only be because indifferent economic news tends to sink all boats, whilst its strong dividends have been holding up. You can expect around a 9% such yield and compare that to your building society income.- By Malcolm Stacey |

BREAKING: Do these scumbags have no shame: Dave Richards MBE of Wandisco infamy is back with another venture
Some folks have just got no shame: that vicar bird from the Post Office with her CBE, Julie “Lingerie on Expenses” Meyer CBE and, it seems Dave Richards MBE of Wandisco (WAND) infamy. Less than a year from the near collapse of, once $1 billion capitalized Unicorn, Wandisco, he is back on the scene. You will remember that Wandisco almost folded after it emerged…- By Tom Winnifrith |

The View From The Montana Log-Cabin: Looking Ahead As Gold Puts In Yearly And Quarterly All-Time Highs….And Then Drifts
It has certainly been a good few weeks for Gold Bulls. Daily, Weekly and monthly all-time highs were put in at the end of November and following a seemingly inevitable pull-back, Gold put in all-time quarterly and yearly highs (in US$ terms), causing all kinds of excitement from technical analysts. And then it drifted, closing this week at $2,045.- By Nigel Somerville |

What can you learn from the Canadian Overseas fiasco and share price crash over the past 18 months?
Given all that has, and is, going on with Canadian Overseas Petroleum (COPL) at the moment, and the fact that I commented extensively on the convertible bonds back in 2022, I decided to pen my thoughts, including looking at how investors can help avoid finding themselves in this situation in the future.- By Gary Newman |

Visual Aid: The Best and Worst Performing Sectors in 2023
In 2023, the stock market saw surprisingly strong returns, even as interest rates climbed higher. Exuberance around AI stocks and big tech, lifted returns. Traditionally defensive stocks, on the other hand, declined. Overall the stock market recovered losses from 2022’s plunge, and is now hovering near all-time highs.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Looking for yield, ITV dividend can't be safe, what about my pension stocks and Malcolm wrong on the USA
I start by looking at the income stocks in my SIPP and at stocks in my pension I expect to start paying out soon. Then at what to buy for more income. I don't think it's ITV (ITV) a Malcolm Stacey favourite and I also take the old boy up on his warnings about America made earlier today.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Video: The Greatest Scenario For Gold Stocks
David Skarica, Publisher and Founder of Stock Chart Of The Day says that the current rate-cutting cycle by the Federal Reserve is driven by political pressure. He compares the current situation to previous cycles, noting that in 2008, the market was in a crash, while in 2019 and 1995, stocks were rallying before the rate cuts. Skarica also highlights that the bubbles in 2008 indicated that previous rate cut cycles did not immediately work, but this time, the economy has held up relatively well. He expresses the belief that this rate cut cycle will be different and that predictions of a significant market downturn may not necessarily come true.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Canadian Overseas cry babies – your mega losses are YOUR fault, not that of the board
I return to the pathetic cry babies at the Canadian Overseas Petroleum (COPL) Shareholder Action Group blaming, as you can see below, their humungous losses on the board. Man up losers: the folks who are to blame for those losses are YOU. Take responsibility for your own stupidity.- By Tom Winnifrith |

I'd like to Be in America - and into its Shares. Not!
Hello Share Movers. Have you been watching ‘The Traitors’ on TV? Yes, I know. Nobody sensible watches reality game shows. But anyway, those succumbing will know that the contestants haven't a clue what the other players will do next. Yet they will mouth off all sorts of peripheral reasons why they do suspect their rivals. It’s same with the stock market.- By Malcolm Stacey |
