NightCap – I ask again: when is the next profits warning and the admission of a cash crisis?
Dragon’s Den star Sarah Willingham can run but she cannot hide. Consumer confidence is visibly waning, the train strikes continue and similar companies , consumer facing discretionary spend outfits, such as Mexican Tortilla (MEX) have already done the decent thing and ‘fessed that they are behind budget. Yet la Willingham who normally loves the sound of her own voice, is silent. But shares in Nightcap (NGHT) are sliding and, at 6.75p, are now at an all time low, almost 50% down on the last placing just a few months ago. I warn you this is looking almost terminal.- By Tom Winnifrith, the Sheriff of AIM |

Will I be wanting a Bunzl shareholding for Christmas 2023?
I am happy to keep on avoiding shares in all of the FTSE 100 banking sector, even if far too many investors keep on trying to believe they are offering “cheap P/Es and high dividend yields”. Even a moderately competent bank analyst is going to be thinking about the sector in other ways, though I’m by contrast all over the comments this morning from the “multinational distribution and outsourcing company” Bunzl (BNZL).- By Chris Bailey |

Upland Resources and the spoof bid – what a happy coincidence for the pumpers
Just as Upland Resources (UPL) shares are pushed massively higher by its claim that it received a preliminary non binding bid approach at 14p per share which it has rejected, guess what?- By Tom Winnifrith |

Upland Resources and the supposed bid – is it this SEC Capital? If so it's 'avin' a Turkish
I am more and more convinced that the 14p a share supposed bid for Upland Resources (UPL) is a complete spoof which is why bears should add to their shorts at 5.75p as I explained ( at 6.25p) HERE. When the spoof unravels the share price will collapse liked a failed souffle. Anyhow the bidder is meant to be SEC Capital. I have tracked down the one incorporated SEC Capital…- By Tom Winnifrith |

Tom Winnifrith does not understand Skinbiotherapeutics like I do, his target is all wrong
Oh dear, the last time that Elrico/Lemming Investor commented on my analysis was when I said sell Optibiotix (OPTI) at 132p. He said that I did not understand the company properly, yadda, yadda, yadda. The rest is history. Now it seems that I don’t understand Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) - where my target is 150p - unlike the great expert who opines on a BB:- By Tom Winnifrith |

Mission Group – having less than a month ago considered itself “on track to deliver against the board's expectations”, now a severe profit warning (and much worse!)…
Describing itself as “comprising a group of digital marketing and communications agencies”, Mission Group (TMG) has issued an announcement titled “Trading Update and Revised Outlook for 2023”. Considering its activities and the current macroeconomic environment, I’d suggest the trading and “revised” outlook aren’t going to be good…- By Steve Moore |

Upland Resources "bid approach": a clear fraud, a spoof or perhaps just real insanity?
On Friday afternoon and throughout the weekend folks from the Upland Resources (UPL) ramping community, a group almost as pointless as Queers for Palestine, were tweeting that Upland had received a 14p bid approach but was going to reject it as being too low. This morning Upland said that as a result of speculation it was forced to confirm this was all true. That the shares are just 6.25p tells you Mr. Market smells a rat. The FCA and the Takeover panel should be all over this and shorters should be adding to their short as fast as possible.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Shell or BP? Here Are a Few Clues
Hello Share Seekers. Both Shell (SHEL) and BP (BP.) have soared since I last tipped them. But I can’t claim credit because it was a no brainer. And I couldn't know about the current Middle East crisis then. Any road up, I don’t think it’s too late to invest in the oil giants. But which is the better bet – Shell or BP?- By Malcolm Stacey |

Tern – How’s The Funding? I love the smell of a cash crisis in the morning!
How, I wonder, is the funding situation at AIM-listed jam-tomorrow investment company Tern plc (TERN)? Tern, no doubt will tell us that everything is just fine but you and I know that is not the case. For a start, its interim results to June 2023 showed that it was in desperate need of cash and shareholders were pulled to a General Meeting with a gun to their heads to approve plans for new share issuances last month. But there is another issue: Konektio.- By Nigel Somerville |
