Neil Woodford – banks BCA cash with undue haste
Whilst the likes of Invesco had offered formal undertakings to accept the offer form BBD Bidco for shares in BCA Marketplace (BCA), Neil Woodford only offered a letter of intent to vote for the deal. Of course, the deadwood press was full of how Neil was supporting the offer. Well….

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Putting Nigel on the spot on Sosandar & the double standards of the bell-ends at the LSE Asylum
I discuss the double standards of those running the LSE Asylum with reference to UK Oil & Gas (UKOG), its lying CEO and some poltroon who asserts I take bribes. I ask Nigel if he still thinks Sosandar (SOS) is a buy at sub 20p as it is sub 20p. I'm not sure. I look at greed and rewarding failure at Staffline (STAF), pass on rumours about Union Jack Oil (UJO) and comment on Bluejay Mining (JAY) and Dev Clever (DEV). Now it's back to hard work at the Welsh Hovel.

Don't Fret if You Failed to Follow Me into this Beauty Peddler, There Could Be More to Come
Hello, Share Crunchers. T’was 13 days ago when I reminded you that a tiddler I have great regard for was rather undervalued. Since then, shares in Creightons (CRL) have improved by more than 13%. Yet, based on preliminary results, just out, I think that there could still be further rises to come...

Hard to see any light at the end of the tunnel for Nu-oil with a placing needed soon
Unfortunately for any holders, Nu Oil and Gas (NUOG) has played out pretty much as I expected it to over the past couple of years, and anyone holding through this period will have seen their investment decimated.

RPS Group – from Australia “indications of improved performance” to “softness in Australia… materially below… expectations” in less than 2 months!
A 1st May AGM trading update saw project management group RPS (RPS) state “the Australian property market, as anticipated, remained subdued. However, the transport sector was strong, and the acquisition of Corview in February 2019 further strengthens the group's position in this market. There are indications of improved performance in both segments in the second quarter”. Now a further trading update; “in Australia”…

UK Oil & Gas Expose part 2 - the Planning situation at Horse Hill: what that says about its viability
When’s an oil field potentially not an oil field? Simple in my view – ask UK Oil & Gas (UKOG) to become the operator and see what else you can do with the “asset”! I reviewed in Part 1 my views on the current extended well testing and what I concluded that meant to the investment case, but now I turn to some of the issues I found on review of the planning application seeking consent for continuous production.

Last month, on an 11.445p per share mandatory - having acquired a 52.4% shareholding - offer for Bonmarché (BON) from Edinburgh Woollen Mill Group owner Philip Day’s Spectre Holdings, I questioned offer “unattractive when compared to the shareholder value that the… directors aim to create”.

SCANDALOUS: 67% Neil Woodford owned dog RM2: I demanded a statement, it’s here and its grim
On Monday I demanded that RM2 (RM2) make a statement to cklarify its (grim) financial position. Today it has obliged and this maker of “disruptive” pallets where Woodford Investment Management funds have a 67% stake looks to be utterly fecked.

Challenger Banks Can be, well, Challenging But This One Could Break the Mould
Hello, Share Panners. To my horror sometimes, I find this family still invested in the big four British banks. This is a case of optimism and a feeling that they must pick up steam at some stage. The trouble with this kind of mindset is that you wait and wait, without taking any kind of positive action. But if you are fed up of waiting, you might look at one of the challenger banks...

Trafalgar Property – 3.11pm update….uh-oh – PLACING AHOY!! Sell
have been a bear of AIM-listed Trafalgar Property (TRAF) ever since I first wrote about it way back in 2015, when I noted that in the middle of a housing boom the fact that the company had again lost money. In April of this year I noted that it had only delivered one set of profitable accounts out of five since it listed on AIM, after the company had claimed to be well placed to deliver and claimed it was exciting times. With that background, we had an update at 3.11pm today. Of course,as Steve Moore has often noted, intra-day updates are rarely good news…..
