Biffa plc (BIFF) describes itself as “the UK’s leading sustainable waste management business”. This FTSE 250 company has, like many, suffered from the lockdown restrictions but previously not as significantly as it feared and there looks further recovery and growth potential ahead not discounted in the share price…

There was a lot of excitement today at the Welsh Hovel with moving compost pits. More on that gripping subject later. I then look at Hurricane Energy (HUR), Cellular Goods (CBX), Coral Products (CRU) – once again as a value buy, Wildcat (WCAT) and the Zoetic (ZOE) linked harassment of myself and Peter Brailey.

Communications integration technology group CloudCall (CALL) “is pleased to announce… raising £7.2 million via the placing of 8,845,284 placing shares at the issue price of 81.5 pence per placing share and raising £291k via the placing of 357,169 PrimaryBid shares at the issue price”. Should it be pleased?…

You will recall how Seth Freedman harassed and insulted me over the course of 16 phone calls on 24 February. He said it was investors in the fraud Zoetic (ZOE) who had prompted him to contact me and that he would take pleasure in defaming me. Another Zoetic expose appeared here yesterday and like a puppet on a string, Seth is at it again, this time harassing Peter Brailey as well.

Hurricane Energy (HUR) updated the market today. It is interesting for what the RNS says and as importantly what it does not say. The company has re-iterated the bondholders are now very much influencing operations and at best shareholders should expect some serious dilution. But how are things going operationally I wonder?

Having asked for readers tips for 2021 for the prize of 1/2 litre of Tom Winnifrith’s Greek Hovel olive oil (2021 harvest) HERE, the following is an update on performance as at the end of February (to be eligible needed to have selected, on a once per username basis, a buy & sell pick from the LSE or AIM casino and the stocks not to have been suspended at the commencement of 2021)…

Wildcat (WCAT) was established as a private company on 8 January 2020 with £50,400 of share capital. Those shares are now valued on the Standard List of the London Stock Exchange at just over £30 million. The whole blockchain related affair stinks because the real tangible value of this enterprise is 99% less than that! Let me explain.

AIM-listed jam-tomorrow investment company Tern plc (TERN) has offered yet another portfolio update – this time entitled Portfolio News – the fourth such effort so far this year. If at first you don’t succeed (in ramping your shares), try, try and try again! But with nothing of substance to report (Moi? A cynic?) today’s ramparoonie is merely and RNS Reach.

We’ve all seen the adverts on TV. Michael Parkinson and a bunch of others in their twilight years trying to persuade us to invest our hard-earned in a funeral plan. If you have not switched to ITV 3 to watch all the re-runs of old detective shows. All the ads are for cruises or funeral plans. The nice lady who presided over the wedding of myself and the Mrs asked me about one a few months back. I said no way. But she went ahead anyway as Parky knows more about it than I do. Well maybe he was just in it for the money too as the FCA has, for once, acted in the right way slating the whole sector for the rip off it is.

Hello Share Munchers. The rosy prospects of one of my humble commendations continues to grow. Water Intelligence (WATR) has just collected another big customer in the USA and has signed up to boost its services to another. I humbly suggest that its present rate of expansion may feed into the share price for some weeks to come…

In July we noted on Anglo Asian Mining (AAZ) a provisional agreement for a “first enterprise outside of Azerbaijan”. Now it has announced those discussions have been terminated. Is a little changed share price response correct?

A “New Medical Screening and Nuclear Security orders” announcement from Kromek (KMK) and the shares currently at circa 17p. So what’s the outlook from here?…

In these times of unprecedented uncertainty, it is not a great idea to make bold predictions about anything related to the markets and if ever there was a good time for sitting on the sidelines it is surely now. I will therefore make two not very bold and related predictions with which I feel comfortable…

This is a bonus video for you all discussing gold with a bull ( Chris), a mega bull (Nigel) and a reluctant & cautious bull (me). We discuss macroeconomics, gold, silver, PGMs and copper and certain gold investments.

Early this year we showed the top shorted London-listed shares at the start of 2021. How’s the performance (those in bold remain from 2020) as at the end of February?…

I may insult a few others in today’s podcast which looks at Cellular Goods (CBX) and some very smelly broking, MyHealthChecked (MHC), Zoetic (ZOE) and Lansdowne Oil & Gas (LOGP).

I was expecting to write about Aggreko (AGK) today but its first comment in its full year results questions was that it was going to say nothing – this side of the fifth of March limit – about an approach for the company. As I noted here in early February, either the bid comes through and I take an alright profit, or it does not and I double up. More in a few days I guess. So onto something different…and it has to be BT Group (BT.A) which I also wrote up in February here…

Previously writing on vehicle telematics company Quartix (QTX), in October with the shares at 340p, I noted it “pleased with the progress we have made so far in 2020” but questioned value. Today it “is pleased to announce its audited results for the year ended 31 December 2020”. So what’s the outlook now?…

Those who think that they can harass me to stop me exposing unpleasant truths need to think again. Oh dear. Oh dear. Oh dear. With the FCA and FDA both having a butcher’s at the way Zoetic International (ZOE) has lied to investors, regulators and its, very few, customers, the heat is on. But a whistleblower has emerged and it gets worse for a company which is almost out of cash and living on vapours.

Hello, Share Crackers. You might imagine a company making protective and hygienic work wear would have prospered in the pandemic. But Johnson Service Group (JSG), which does just that, has had to cut 1,500 staff. And that’s because it serves the hotel and food industries.
