Domino's Pizza - bet it wishes everyone ate pizza like they do in Iceland!
A while back (as you can read here) I concluded you should wake me up at about a 250p Domino's Pizza (DOM) price. Well another day like today and the shares will crash through this level (and a bit more). So why is 'the official food of everything' having a 10%+ share price dump shocker today? I reckon there are three stories here.

Photo Article: Cynical Bear does the decent thing on Optibiotix
For eons Cynical Bear has made one of his seven things that will never happen series, that Optibiotix (OPTI) shares would not reach 100p. As you may have twigged, they have reached and now breached, closing last night at 124p. And with a very pregnant deal pipeline so a stack of RNS's on the way, we who ignored the old Bear are feeling happy. I teased him that by way of apology he should send a bottle of ouzo to Sheriff of AIM Towers. He is a good man old Cynical Bear. Late last night, guess what arrived...

Argo Blockchain - 195% upside in share price claims Gollum
We had the bear case on Argo Blockchain (ARB) from Cynical Bear over the weekend, I corrected a few points in bearcast yesterday but admit that I am clueless about my first blockchain stag. Now we have the bull case, 195% upside from 12.5p. The shares are now 13p. I should caveat that the detailed research report below was penned by the dribbling refugee from the Northern slums, the widely despised Richard "Gollum" Gill but if you are interested...

Our Love Affair with Cats and Dogs Should Make Hay for Pets at Home
Hello Share Crushers. This family has just taken another inmate from the local cat rescue depot. It was meant to be a companion for our recently bereaved Caddy. But they'd been spitting at each other. The replacement moggie is also huge, so we'll be calling at our Pets at Home (PETS) store for more nosh - and feline first aid products.

Sabien Technology – after questioning how long will the new cash last, we have an answer – and it’s not long!
A 2017 sell tip of the year at a 3p bid price, I previously updated on Sabien Technology (SNT) in June – concluding I now await the outcome for the current year with interest – previously questioning how long will the new cash last? Presently, I still remain bearish. Today a “Trading Update”…

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: no need to send ouzo: my advice to Pantheon Resources is on me, just because I am such a nice guy
In today's podcast I look once again at Argo BlockChain (ARB) filling in a few errors and ommissions by Cynical Bear. I cover Ascent Resources (AST) which looks grim, WanDisco (WAND) and Pantheon Resources (PANR) where, once again, I demonstrate what a terribly nice chap I am.

FireAngel – from “more heavily weighted towards H2 than has been the case in recent years” to…
Previously writing on FireAngel Safety Technology (FA.) – then Sprue Aegis – it was on a 25% share price slump to below 100p and I concluded we’ll see on improvement the company expected and, meanwhile, on underlying financial metrics, the share price reaction looked entirely understandable and I continued to avoid. Today a “Trading Statement” commencing, “The company expects to report H1 2018 sales of approximately £17.7m (H1 2017: £26.0m) and an operating loss of approximately £1.8m (H1 2017: £1.5m profit), in line with management's expectations. However,”. Uh oh…

Ascent Resources – “pleased with the progress of the strategic review to date”. You cannot be serious!!!
An “Operational Update” from Ascent Resources (AST) commences “as previously announced, the company commenced a strategic review in April 2018 to review the various options available for the company to maximise value for shareholders” and later includes “the board is pleased with the progress of the strategic review to date and discussions are ongoing with a number of different parties”. Good, good - ‘Pleasing’ progress towards maximising value for shareholders then… and the shares have currently responded… er, circa 40% lower towards 0.40p!?...

Office shocker by IWG (aka Regus) part 2
Take a look, if you wish, at the share price graphic of the property company IWG (IWG) - formerly known as Regus - over the last year and which is down 20% odd today. The phrase uninvestable comes to mind. Big ups, big downs and - at the end of the year - what have you got to show for it? A share price back to where it was the last time I wrote about IWG turning down a bid for its business here.

Are You Prepared For The End Of Fake Money?
Flooding an economy with cheap, limitless credit inevitably leads to systemic excesses of leverage, risk and debt, and a systemic reliance on marginal borrowers and lenders for "growth" - a credit-based "growth" which is destabilizing and unsustainable. The boom turns to bust and asset bubbles pop, laying waste to fortunes and the confidence that bubble-based prosperity is our endless birth right.

ShareProphets Reader Poll - your predictions for Tern shares by Friday
In the wake of AIM-listed Tern (TERN)'s debacle of its "clarification" on Friday, the shares collapsed by a whopping 39%. The BBMs seem to think this is all a bit of a misunderstanding and a further clarification will come leading to a mega-bounce. Good luck to them with that! But what do ShareProphets readers think?

My Book Gets a Lousy Review, But I Still Think My Way is More Profitable than Most
Hello, share raisers. Ever since The Zulu Principle, share books have been very popular. But is there still a use for them today? Surely you can read all you want on the net for free? You may not get it all in one place, as you can with most books, but you can build up great knowledge in a piecemeal fashion. However, thrilling tomes on how to make dosh still have an important place.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Argo shows our journalists really can write what they want & before Wildes laughs too much at m e
In today's bearcast I start with Argo Blockchain (ARB) and what our coverage shows again. Then it is onto Mark Carney and the Sunday Times talking Project Fear Brexit bollocks on Sterling. Finally David Lenigas, Luke Johnson and why this bubble will not be different to any other.

Even allowing for the tax dispute risks, JKX looks good value - speculative buy
Often at the lower end of the oil and gas sector private investors get fixated with taking gambles on drills with large prospective resources and dream of untold riches if the company gets lucky with the drill bit, but the reality is that in the majority of cases this will result in a duster and substantial losses.

After the ouzo, what now for Tern? And what about InVMA?
It seems as though AIM-listed Tern has been found out – and not for the first time. Having had my traditional ouzo, the question is what happens next. And while we are at it, what about its investments into InVMA?

Atom Bank: Is this the worst stock in Woodford’s portfolio?
I appreciate that the heading seems like a bold claim with such stiff competition but with Atom Bank putting out its results or the year to 31 March 2018 this week, I do think it is a serious contender.

William Hill wants its American boy way too much
I enjoyed Malcolm's piece on William Hill (WMH) yesterday. I too had checked out Friday's results statement which included (inevitably) a Gareth Southgate picture on the cover of its analyst presentation document. Goodness only knows what they would have done if we had actually won...

Argo Blockchain: Congrats to Adrian Beeston, the Golden Fleece has been well and truly found
I have a grudging admiration for the stock promoters that inhabit the lower reaches of AIM or the Standard List playing around with cash shells and investment vehicles looking for the next big thing such as Chris Akers, Peter Redmond, Geoffrey Dart etc. Just sometimes it goes spectacularly right and I take my hat off to Adrian Beeston who has pulled off a fabulous heist at Argo Blockchain (ARB).
