Red Rock Resources Part 2: just how screwed has our beloved company become: something massive Andrew Bell is not flagging up, another Fatty Cornish disgrace
Earlier today I flagged up how we morons, aka loyal shareholders in Red Rock Resources (RRR) had been screwed over yet again by Andrew Bell as he has done yet another placing, raising £500,000 at just 0.075p. This company really has had more placings than I have had inappropriate thoughts about Cheryl Cole. Okay, not that many but a lot! However, readers point out that Mr. Bell appears to be playing fast and loose with the truth, when it comes to how the moolah, call it £465,000 after costs, will be spunked. Sorry I meant spent.- By Tom Winnifrith |

EnSilica – “delighted that our shareholders have continued to support our growth ambitions”. How significantly so?…

Don’t bother going for a senior job at Aviva if you are a white male even if you are the best qualified person on earth
The job of a public company such as Aviva (AV.) is NOT to change society but to deliver the best results for shareholders and that should mean that for every post, especially senior ones, it must hire the most highly qualified person for the job. But that is a message lost on Amanda Blanc, the company’s right on CEO.- By Tom Winnifrith |

I am still a fan of shares in Currys, but don't be too greedy in 2024
As I noted back in early November, “even if you don’t need a new mobile, laptop, fridge or another electrical good, shares in Currys (CURY) still look cheap to me”. Back then they were kicking around the 45p level and, after today's first half update, they are at a 50p share price despite observing that it is a “tough environment”.

Eurasia Mining: why can’t it just give us the facts and be honest as it staves off winding up order?
You will remember that former lawyers to spoof company Eurasia Mining (EUA), the form of Gowrings, threatened a winding up order if a payment of £108,000 was not made. Eurasia sat on the bad news until THIS ARTICLE forced it to ‘fess up. Today Eurasia dissembles.- By Tom Winnifrith, the Sheriff of AIM |

Good News travels fast, bad news is delayed how is it hanging Chris Cleverly at the fraud Tingo? 15 days and counting...
Just the other day I posted more proof positive that Tingo (US:TIO) the company created by Chris Cleverly, the first cousin of our esteemed home secretary, was and is a complete and utter fraud. If Chris is not too busy being nominated for ESG awards in Africa (I kid you not, as you can see HERE), maybe he might want to update mug punters on the ongoing suspension of the shares.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Procook serves up another dog’s dinner set of interims and look what its doing on its own website
I warned about this crock at the time of its 145p per share November 2021 IPO but naturally fat cat fund managers knew far better and piled in. Today the shares are 26.85p after truly piss poor results. Is it any surprise that folks are reluctant to buy its range of highly expensive kitchenware items in the current climate? There is no real USP of this business and the numbers make that clear.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Tandem – after less than three months ago a “positive outlook”, what of a latest “trading update”?…
Previously writing on “sports, leisure and mobility products” group Tandem (TND), in September with the shares falling to 170p I concluded, despite the suggested tangible net asset-based value, with the consumer-related trading headwinds and its loans to refinance I continued to avoid with the shares just on the watchlist. The shares most recently closed at 142.5p and what of them currently further lower towards 100p today on the back of a “trading update”?

The curse of vile ex Tory MP Tony Baldry strikes yet again at Westminster Group
Westminster Group (WSG) shares have plunged by well over 90% since Sir Tony Baldry of 3DM infamy became chairman in 2017. And now the cures of Baldry strikes again with a tacit admission of Westminster’s growing cash crisis. First up though, Westminster is changing its year end.

Letter to the FCA re Dispensa on the Sub Standard List
Maybe rules apply only to little people and not to companies which retain as their adviser someone whose legendary modesty sees him mentioning almost every day that he attended Oriel College Oxford. I have written to the FCA about Sub Standard listed Dispensa (DISP), ccing in its adviser, pompous and conceited, Andrew Monk of VSA Capital.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Hello Share Collectors. This senile punter is realising a dream today. To fly to New York at Christmas time. All those jolly santas ringing bells on street corners. A bit like the classic Wonderful Life film. But I leave you a seasonal pointer before I do. Have a look at J Sainsbury (SBRY).- By Malcolm Stacey |
