It's trebles all round on Malcolm in the Punter's Return becuase, as you can see below, we have indeed found and located the Magic Money Tree. The nation's problems are all over, vote Corbyn, sit back relax and await paradise on earth.

Trump borrows the US into oblivion

For financial markets, one takeaway mattered above all others in the midterm election - no curveballs and that’s basically what was delivered as pundits who got it so wrong in 2016, correctly forecast the end of one-party rule this time. With Democrats calling the shots in the House, we could see no end to investigations, subpoenas and possibly impeachment talk and a hard push for POTUS (The President of the United States) to reveal up his tax returns. All this will slow down President Donald Trump’s plans. It didn’t have to be this way, the full aftermath of the 2008 crisis is still incomplete...

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast - the changing meaning of the word "refute" in the English language

In today's podcast I look at Babcock (BAB), which is not a fraud, and the fraud Globo (GBO) and the use of the word "refute". I also cover Johnston Press (JPR), RM2 (RM2) - another Neil Woodford dog - Haydale (HAYD) which looks increasing;y like a zero, Online Blockchain (OBC) and Amur Minerals (AMC)

CSFG

CSF Group – Allenby nomad resignation notice… why are we being told more than a month after?

Previously featured on this website in August, it was CSF Group (CSFG) – proposed AIM cancellation, a warning, with the warning to sell / avoid – and be very wary of small companies with operations principally based far away but listed in London – see also, for example, our China AIM 'Filthy Forty'. A September EGM saw the company get insufficient support for the proposed cancellation, but today it’s “Resignation of nominated adviser”… and worse…

Ariana – Q3 results from Kiziltepe: still a buy as big cashflow edges closer

Last month we had the Q3 preliminary report from Kiziltepe and this morning AIM-listed Turkish gold producer and explorer Ariana (AAU) offered up fuller numbers on operations at Kiziltepe where Ariana has a half-share in the gold production for the Red Rabbit project in Turkey. We already knew they’d had a blow-out of a quarter (see HERE) but the numbers show just how well it is going.

Clem Chambers’ Online Blockchain Spoof – FY Results: you could not make this stuff up

The full year results from Online Blockchain (OBC) do not look that terrible until you compare them with the interims at which point you start to ask just when will the money run out. This statement is terrible and, understandably, the shares – 200p at peak ramp earlier this year – have slumped another 3p to 22p-27p. Ouch.

Dignity continues its wall of death at ten quid a share

Funeral company Dignity (DTY) continues to fascinate me...as a slow moving car crash. The last time I wrote on the stock HERE I concluded that ''I am still watching not investing. This one feels as if - again - it is going to go lower" and this still feels the case…

Glencore looks too cheap - I can see why a share buyback is ongoing

A lot of AIM investors seem to view main market larger companies as being boring as you aren’t ever likely to multiply your capital overnight, but conversely it is unlikely that you will ever lose the lot either. By ignoring the larger companies, especially in the mining and oil sectors, you are potentially missing out on some very good gains, and with relatively low risk to your capital as these businesses tend to be so well diversified that any single event is unlikely to cause a complete share price collapse.

Who Says Share-Shifting Doesn't Pay, as Dividends by British Companies Hit a Record Third Quarter High

Hello, Share Chuckers. For months I’ve been saying that dividend chasing can be so worthwhile. And now comes the vindication. The year has just finished its third quarter. And it’s revealed that dividends paid in those three months have hit an all-time high by UK registered companies.

MYSQ

Marcus Stuttard the world’s most clueless regulator MySquar Caption Contest Result

Presented by myself, in October 2017, with slam dunk evidence that AIM Casino listed fraud MySquar (MYSQ) had committed wholesale fraud, the boss of AIM Regulation Marcus Stuttard did nothing. So MySquar was able to raise millions more pounds on the casino and private investors have lost everything. Still Stuttard thinks he is doing a good job. We captured the moment Marcus received the MySquar report in the picture below and as you can see HERE, you supplied many suitable captions. But there can only be one winner, Kayeserasera received a signed semi-naked photo of top share blogger Thirsty Paul Scott for the entry below:

KEFI

KEFI Minerals – “pleased to report” exploration developments, but also a new financing?

KEFI Minerals (KEFI) is pleased to report proposed Ethiopian exploration area expansion, the formal renewal of the Hawiah exploration licence in Saudi Arabia but also “a term sheet for a £2 million (plus an optional second £2 million) secured working capital loan facility”

Bowleven – tip update and FY18 numbers: BUY.

AIM-listed Bowleven (BLVN) was one of two ideas from me in the ShareProphets share tip-fest last Christmas. The hope had been to see some corporate action before the end of the year as the Etinde project saw appraisal drilling and the JV partners wanted to move things on. Well we had the drilling, the shares went up and I top-sliced. So far so good.

UJO

Union Jack Farm in and strange volte face from former share blogger of the year

We have no idea what our pal Brokerman Dan is up to. For as long as we can remember he has been beastly about Union Jack (UJO) writing things that are true, untrue and half true but all nasty. But suddenly his mate Chris Oil is buying shares and Brokerman Dan thinks the shares are cheap as chips. Whatever. What is that about sinners and repenting?

Red Flags at Night: Arricano announces resignation of Smith & Williamson as Nomad after hours on Friday - SELL

In August it was announced that Cenkos was buying the Nomad operations of Smith and Williamson, with completion expected in November after due diligence had been done on Smith & Williamson’s Nomad clients. On Friday, at no-one-is-watching o’clock (natch – 6.09pm!!) AIM-listed Arricano Real Estate (ARO) announced that Smith & Williamson had served notice that it would resign on 23 November 2018. Talk about Red Flags at Night!

Sunday Long Reads: Jose Mourinho, Placebo Effect, New Muzak, Used Underwear

Is there anything better than sitting back and reading a well-written article on a lazy Sunday? Every week ShareProphets features some long form journalism that you'll find of interest. Grab your cuppa and enjoy these five articles.   

Trump

Two Presidents caption competition

One has domestic approval ratings which - at this stage of his Presidency - are far better than most of his predecessors, one has almost record low approval ratings among his own voters. But if you are reliant on the MSM, especially BBC or Channel 4 Fake News for your information you would be excused for getting it the wrong way round. Anyhow, do your worst, supply a suitable caption by midnight on Sunday in the comments section below.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: What are the incriminating photos of Daily Mail journalists that Neil Woodford owns?

You could not make it up. Another week. Another Neil Woodford share support operation in the Mail on Sunday. I look at Woodford and wider issues he faces at The Times and Sunday Times and their shameful role in the MySquar (MYSQ) fraud and at Purplebricks (PURP) and the fundamental weakness in its business proposition that will ultimately sink it.

Notes from Underground: Why not Quindell 2.0 if no one cares about MySquar

Once again, I stand awed that great work by ShareProphets on identifying bad eggs is largely ignored by the mainstream media, in this case MySquar.  It's no wonder that Rob Terry has the new to saddle up with Quindell 2.0.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Am I being terribly unfair on Amur Minerals? Beastly YES Unfair NO

Warning: This podcast contains references that vegans with a sense of humour bypass (i.e 99% of them) may find offensive. In this podcast I reflect on walking past a dark restaurant in a prime location yesterday. I consider Vodafone (VOD) and the security of its dividend. Finally I ponder whether I am being far too harsh on a company ramped in a sordid manner by Justin the Clown and the Sith Lord Zak Mir and run by a total knobhead, that is to say Amur Minerals (AMC)

Tate and Lyle: book the profit...and where's my tin of golden syrup?

It is usually John Paul Getty who is given attribution for the wonderful 'by selling too soon' response to the question of how to get rich.  Selling is an important discipline and there is certainly no crime in taking a few profits...which brings us to Tate & Lyle (TATE).  Maybe I have been consuming too many sugar - or sucralose - laced products recently but I feel pretty pleased with this one, telling everyone to get stuck in earlier this year and then suggesting a hope price of 7 quid a share in May  after an initial bounce.  Well hold the front page...it has happened following Thursday's results publication.
