Visiting the Global Group UK Investor Show and catching up with Ariana
What a day out that was! The Wray family may be running the investor show now, but the sparkle was still there – even if I missed the acid wit of Tom Winnifrith. But it was great to catch up with the other writers at ShareProphets and in particular it was good to call in at two stands – those of Ariana Resources (AAU) and Sosandar (SOS).

Ooh Err Mrs … carry on droning, Part 2 - Leon Hogan and Chris Grove, a question
Yesterday I explained why Management Resource Solutions (MRS) was technically insolventand why its propsed £1.32 million all share purchase of drone start up Alerion was a joke that no respectable Nomad would have signed off on. But it gets worse and there is another massive question for hapless Nomad Arden to consider....

With a big hat-tip to Citywire, is this the biggest Woodford scandal yet?
Citywire yesterday published an article which stated that Neil Woodford has listed four previously unlisted investments held by Woodford Equity Income Fund on the International Stock Exchange in….er….Guernsey. Surely even Guernsey’s own residents would agree that this is not exactly the London Stock Exchange! But the odd thing is that Woodford himself seems to have been a tad reticent on the matter – I don’t see any headline proclaiming great success in gaining a listing in Guernsey from Neil Woodford! Why might that be? And that appears to be the nub of the issue.

Notes from Underground: As a remainer, I can only be happy about utter chaos
If you had told me last year that 48 hours after Independence Day we would still be in the European Union, I would ask you have a glass of the same thing that you were drinking.

Photo Article: And that's a Global Group UK Investor Show wrap from me
I've been part of ever one of Tom's investor shows since 2008, where as a new employee of t1ps.com, I was assigned to watch the door of a breakout room. This is the first year that I have largely seen it as a punter.

EXPOSE: Ooh Err Mrs … carry on droning
Management Resource Solutions (MRS) has form when it comes to doing crackers deals to destroy shareholder value. Do you remember this one? (Carry on Dogging?) . Well now we have another corker. How Nomad Arden Partners signed off on the lastest crock defies belief. Management is buying fledgling drone operation Alerion for £1.32 million in shares at 5p. It is ‘avin’ a Turkish.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: the 2 reasons why I am not at UK Investor, a lying CEO and now it's gloves off time
I am not at the UK Investor Show today. I hope you are as sparks will fly. But I explain my absence, discuss a CEO who is - I think - a liar and say what I do next. It's time to take the gloves off and stop mincing my words!

Showtime: The 6th Global Group UK Investor show is go
With Nigel Wray’s family fully in charge of the Global Group UK Investor Show, this is the first time in six years that I have not been up at 4am to put out last minute fires.

How Not to Catch a Cold When Trading Your Shares.
Hello, Share Cobblers. As I’m hosting the UK Investor Show this weekend, I can’t topically research any individual shares for your attention. And I’ve said all I can say about Brexit and my portfolio. Briefly, I expect shares to come back strongly once the process becomes clear, just as falling shares did at the outset of World War 11. So may I write about catching a cold, instead?

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast on this Brexit betrayal day: Answering a Neil Woodford question for Roger Lawson.
Neil Woodford needs money for his funds urgently but to give to a far more deserving cause which I may have mentioned once or twice go HERE. I discuss damning statistics for the AIM Casino, Inspirit (INP), Mobile Streams (MOS) and in the Woodford section Paypoint (PAY), Imperial Brands (IMB) and now Strix (KETL), another jolly good income and growth play he is dumping.

Podcast: a much higher gold price is coming
Copper has always been a favourite metal for geologist turned broker Barry Dawes, being the third largest metal in terms of consumption and continues its historical pattern of long term growth. China and Asia use an enormous amount of copper and shortages are developing. This should result in a boom in copper prices and then new exploration.

Inspirit – Pleased to announce interims. It shouldn’t be – SELL.
News from the boiler room this morning is that AIM-listed Inspirit Energy (INSP) is pleased to announce its interims. I’m not sure why – they are awful! But perhaps the pleasure relates to the fact that they are out at all, for the numbers show a deficit of net current assets. Is it bust yet?
