I start with Joshua’s Advent calendar which today, I think, is #fakenews. Then I look at Wishbone Gold (WSBN), Coral Products (CRU) – you guys all owe me a bottle of ouzo, Sarah Willingham’s dog Nightcap, Remote Monitored Systems (RMS) and then finally  don’t all fantasise about killing me at once  the con that is Supply@ME Capital (SYME) and today’s misleading RNS. May i wish you and your families all a very Merry Christmas and please do not dare to reply with any message about Happy Holidays.

Ahead of two share tips of the year 2021 from me within the next few days, how have my 2020 selections fared?…

Try as he wanted, Neill could not quite rid his mind of thoughts of that ghostly apparition, the ghost of Christmas past. He tried counting sheep. But more and more of his shareholders kept running away. So he tried to count RNS statements about bogus deals and collaborations that had never amounted to anything. He started with non-deals from 2013 and this game kept him going for a good three quarters of an hour but at some point in mid 2017 he lost count. And at that very moment, the windows once again burst open and the room was filled with freezing cold air.

A trading update from Immotion (IMMO) commencing that this “immersive entertainment group, is pleased to update the market on current trading”  sees the shares 20% higher, above 4p. So what’s the detail?

Between December 24 and January 3, the entire team here at ShareProphets is serving up our tips of the year (22 in total).  No 2 is a buy from Malcolm Stacey.

My second tip for 2020 last year in the ShareProphets Christmas tipfest was fully-listed Egyptian Gold-producer Centamin (CEY) at 117p. It has been a great time to be investing in Gold but it has not been an easy time for investing in Centamin and ground movement difficulties emerged which affected production and continue to do so. So has this tip been a failure?

Between December 24 and January 3, the entire team here at ShareProphets is serving up our tips of the year (22 in total).  We kick off with No 1, a buy from Gary Newman.

Braveheart (BIM), the investment vehicle run by Remote Monitored Systems (RMS) boss Trevor Brown who is also a major investor in Braveheart, sold ALL of its Remote shares on 16,17 and 18 November at 2.9p-5p, netting it c£15 million. Not only did Brown sign off on ramptastic RNS statements by Remote on 11 and 16 November pushing the line that the company would, by the end of November, have a machine in Nottingham producing Covid stopping masks but he was also active on twitter pumping the stock. Of course the machine did not arrive in November, something Remote fessed to on 26 November. With more delays since, trial failures and a bailout funding the shares have collapsed to 1.22p. Now back to the pump.

Every day until New Year’s Day, we’ll publish a picture of the view through a reader’s window. This is the seventh year we’ve asked our readers for their photos, and we have received photos from all over the planet. It’s one thing to know that we have tens of thousands of readers, it’s another to see proof of it.

Hello, Share Seekers. If you’re reading this you’re a shareholder with disposable income. And if you’ve been following tips on the winter wonderland we call shareprophets.com. you may be a bit wealthy by now. Now, as a person of means, you have a responsibility to be generous with your dough and kind in your actions. That’s the Christmas spirit, right?

I start with Joshua’s Advent calendar, then talk about what is in store here tomorrow and then cover Zenith Energy (ZEN), Powerhouse Energy (PHE) and Remote Monitored Systems (RMS), arguing that its boss Trevor Brown is a menace who should be barred from being involved with any other AIM Companies for good.

As we approach the end of 2020, it is time to take a look back at my Tips of the Year in the ShareProphets Christmas 2019 Tipfest. AIM-listed investment company Tern plc (TERN) was my first tip – as a sell, at 9.25p. So how have I done?

‘Twas the night before Christmas and Neill Ricketts levered his corpulent self into a grand four poster bed in his newly built fake Tudor come fake Georgian Gloucestershire mansion. Bloody Hell, he thought to himself, the boy who left school at 16 with one GCSE in woodwork (grade D) has done good. He stared at the wall at a large picture of his idol. And Elon stared back.

Previously writing on UK engineering and construction company NMCN plc (NMCN), I’ve noted a far from planned CEO ‘step down’ and a trading warning following recent CFO resignation and what sounds like a rush for liquidity. Now further updates – and the shares currently slumping in response…

Red Rock Resources (RRR) has made an update in relation to its investment in Jupiter Mines (ASX – JMS) and announced a “Right to acquire loans and arbitration funding”…

It seems that Sonic is another anonymous keyboard warrior, too cowardly to reveal her or his identity and who thinks that if he or she abuses me, my wife and baby daughter and threatens me, he or she might save the cons he or she is invested in, such as Supply@ME Capital (SYME). Asking who the father of my baby daughter is, manages to insult me, the Mrs and Jayarani. Normally this individual just sticks to me and fantasises about beating me to death. You kind of wonder whether Sonic shares his or her keyboard activities with his or her employer and partner. I guess they would be really proud of Sonic. 

This morning, with shares in Powerhouse Energy (PHE) having surged past 8p yesterday the company was forced by AIM to issue a statement:

Okay, the pantomime at the theatre in Wrexham is cancelled this year along with Christmas thanks to the clinically insane leader of Wales, Mr Mark Drakeford. Instead, thanks to AIM listed Remote Monitored Systems (RMS), we are treated to a performance of a new pantomime. Chancer spivs Paul Ryan & Trevor Brown, your AIM Cesspit career is behind you! Oh no it’s not! Oh yes it is! Or it soon will be.

Our favourite technical analyst, Jordan Roy-Byrne of TheDalyGold.com, has been annoyingly bearish – and even more annoyingly correct – since warning of a precious metals correction as the Gold price peaked in August. But the news is that he has called the end of the correction and now predicts a continued rebound into 2021. His latest video for Palisade Radio, below, is explicit and well worth a careful watch.

Hello, Share Chasers. Such is the love we British have for our cats and dogs that the government has deemed pet shops to be essential during lockdowns. And as these isolating nuisances are set to become even more common and longer-lasting in the coming months, shops which cater for animals can only prosper while other retailers suffer. Which brings me to my favourite – in fact, my only retail recommendation. It’s Pets at Home (PETS). This family is among its appreciative customers. Its prices to feed and nurture our two cats are reasonable, the stores welcoming and the staff well-trained and exceptionally friendly…
