Why Do I Think This Lot Might Beat Brexit? Elementary, My Dear Barratt Homes

Hello Share Plungers. Should you fancy, as I do, that house prices will not be affected much more by Brexit, however the negotiations progress, then it might be worthing taking a peek at Barratt Developments (BDEV). Do we really believe that foreigners will stop scoffing our bricks and mortar just because its becomes slighter harder for Europeans to enter the country?

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast - do you remember the City slickers?

In this podcast I look again at Chris Akers, that tweet and Sabien (SNT). I look at Plus 500 (PLUS, Debenhams (DEB) and at UK Oil & Gas (UKOG).

PLUS

Plus500 – “pleased to announce” results… so why a near 30% share price crash?

Writing on Plus500 (PLUS) in November with the shares rising above 1400p, I questioned it stating “a good position for 2019”. Today from the company “pleased to announce preliminary unaudited results for the year ended 31 December 2018”… but the shares currently approaching 30% lower, at around 1150p!...

Woodford – slammed by Bestinvest in table of dogs

I pointed to Invesco and Woodford being named top dogs in the link to the article in the Telegraph at the weekend, but having looked through the latest issue of Spot the Dog from Bestinvest the data and conclusions are truly awful for Neil Woodford.

Chris Akers, Sabien and Justin the Clown – who has been a very naughty boy then?

In his lamentable podcast yesterday Justin the Clown commented on Sabien Technology (SNT) suggesting that it was either “punt of the week or investment of the year”. This was seized upon by “colourful” stockmarket operator Chris Akers who sent out the tweet below.

Cabot Energy postpones insolvency with up to £2.8 million fundraise at just 0.1p – Oh dear

Once upon a time shares in Cabot Energy (CAB), then Northern Petroleum, traded at almost 150p. Today it announced a bailout funding at just 0.1p. despite it raising $15.3 million at 5p just a year ago. Oh dear… and it could get worse.

SDI

Today's Primary Bid Offer - Scientific Digital Imaging

I know nothing whatsoever about Scientific Digital Imaging (SDI)  but apparently it designs and manufactures scientific products for use in applications including life sciences, healthcare, astronomy, consumer manufacturing and art conservation markets. But it is on the acquisition trail and so there is a Primary Bid offering.

Echo Energy.. shit happens but cash is now the issue

Too many mug punters who gamble on oil and gas explorers seem to think that with modern technology, blah, blah, blah drilling is a slam dunk certainty or at the very least, highly likely to succeed. They blather on about 70 or 80% COS statistics without a clue. If you look at AIM RNS’s the reality is that, across the board,  the vast majority of wells drilled are not commercial. And that brings us to today’s disaster from Echo Energy (ECHO).

AAU

Ariana: cracking news, 2p mark hit - time to take a few profits (but leave some on the table - 2.5p next stop)

My buy tip for 2019 - AIM-listed Ariana Resources (AAU) – has made the 2p to sell target price: time to take some profits, then - and where’s the ouzo? This is on the back of cracking news of a £3.8 million return of capital to the parent. The implications are that Kiziltepe is throwing off plenty of cash – way more than had been previously disclosed.

Optibiotix – and now a big deal in Japan: shares to hit 125p by Easter + CEO Video

Another day and another hugely positive announcement from Optibiotix (OPTI) to delight we loyal shareholders.  This news is from Japan.

Frontera arguably insolvent says Judge as he finds against it in crunch case - another breach of AIM Rules

The whore blogger Malcolm Graham Wood and Frontera Resources (FRR) repeatedly asserted that legal claims against it had no merit and would be thrown out. A Judgement handed down on 22 January, which we publish below, shows that was not the case. The Judge slams claims made by Frontera in the case against lender Outrider as "fantastical" says that it is "strongly arguable" that Frontera is insolvent and rules against the formerly AIM listed POS.

How the Health and Safety Boom is a Godsend to this Big British Tester

Hello, Share Chumeroonis. Intertek (ITRK) is in a niche sector I’ve not looked at before. But I should have done because it is in a world of growing demand. The company is one of the few businesses that is probably indebted to the health and safety area. It tests products for other firms...

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Oi Telit, Accesso & Westminster, BMD thinks I'm trying to sell you a stand at UK Investor

Dan Levi reckons that I was being beastly about Dev Clever PLC to sell it a stand at the UK Investor show. He says so without listening to what I actually said. Maybe I am also trying to flog stands to Telit, Accesso and Westminster Group? Oi fatso Baldry if I mention the 3DM fraud again will you take a stand at a show I don't actually own. Whatever... In this podcast I also cover Telit (TCM), Blue Rock Diamonds (BRD), Jim Mellon's SalvaRX (SALV), Accesso (ACSO) and Windar Photonics (WPHO). It is silliness like this that make me want to call it a day sooner rather than later.

Is the Petrofac share price collapse a good buying/trading opportunity

Sudden large drops in share price on larger companies tend to spook investors, but they can also offer great opportunities, either to invest at a cheap price or even just to trade any bounce back towards previous levels.

We are getting ready to enter an era unlike anything in our own experience

For some time now I have been talking about what I think may unfold over the next decade. The term I often use is The Great Reset, but in my mind it’s more than just resetting global debt

Blue Rock Diamonds – a month of pump and now the dump- a case study in how the AIM casino operates

Over the past month the share price of AIM casino listed Blue Rock Diamonds (BRD) has soared from 0.29p to 0.38p. Some lucky souls paid up to 0.4p on Friday. Let’s review the timeline:

Anglo Asian Mining – after top-end of 2018 production guidance, announces 2019’s…

Updating on Anglo Asian Mining (AAZ) last month, we noted it ‘looking forward’ “to providing further updates on forecast 2019 production and expansion and exploration results in the coming weeks”. Last week, a “2019 Production Guidance” announcement…

Podcast: Uranium Made Investors Crazy Money Last Time

Philip O'Neill started his career in the junior mining space in the early 2000s by investing in uranium. He discusses the last bull market and how it did exceedingly well and how the market can surprise you. Today there is much more experience in the uranium markets so the coming bull market should be more mature.

IMB

Imperial Brands: dumping the chair is about the share price and Old Father Time not "overboarding"

I see there are various reports circulating that Mark Williamson - the chairman of Imperial Brands (IMB) - is set to fall on his sword soon, having been hassled by institutional investors over perceived "overboarding", given he is also the chair of Spectris (SXS) and on the board of National Grid (NG/).

Pathfinder Minerals – Countdown to license restoration begins in earnest, I'm confused, Richard Jennings is not

I am a bit confused. As I understood it the new management team at Pathfinder Minerals (PFP) had great contacts out in Bongo Bongo land and were going to sort out the mess whereby the company's main asset had gone AWOL in Mozambique with locals claiming ownership. Today we are told that Pathfinder will pay some johnnies in South Africa £1 million (which it does not have) to sort this out. So what is the board doing for its money? Whatever... I am confused. Richard Jennings of Align says he is not and that the shares - which Align owns - are cheap. Here is his reasoning...
