Nostra Terra is a great example of why the AIM market is dying and has been for some time
Anyone who has been investing or trading smaller market cap shares for any length of time will have noticed the demise of the AIM market, with liquidity flowing out; companies going bust and/or delisting; and even the pump and dumps getting fewer, further between, and with less impact when they do happen.- By Gary Newman |

Webis: Jim Mellon takes it private, in reality shareholders’ equity already worthless
A couple of days ago Webis (WEB) announced that it was taking a new, fourth loan, from Galloway, an entity wholly owned by my pal Jim Mellon. When fully drawn, Webis, which is loss making, will owe Galloway almost $3 million. Today Webis says it is to delist and leave AIM.premium content
Tom Winnifrith Bonus Bearcast: Now Lemming Junior says switch from Optibiotix to Skinbiotherapeutics
The note below shocks me in my naive way about payments made to the Lemming media empire by Optibiotix (OPTI), what a waste of money. I discuss why i am not sure switching right now is smart though I see the argument. The ball really is in the court of Steve O'Hara.- By Tom Winnifrith |

In May this year consumer healthcare company Alliance Pharma (APH) faced audit-related results delay, its CEO leaving and was appealing a Competition and Markets Authority finding that it had infringed competition law and its fine. However, the subsequent half-year results suggest a much-improved picture but the shares have only currently recovered to a 46.8p offer price, which suggests to us significant further recovery potential.- By HotStockRockets |

BREAKING: Lift Global Ventures – deep dive into 30 June 2024 numbers, its off to the FRC I go!
Zak Mir's Lift Global Ventures (LFT) waited until late in the day Thursday to publish its annual report on its website so I have taken a deeper dive into its numbers. Lift has a structural problem in that even if you ignore the investments write offs of £750,000 in Trans Africa Energy and £67,106 of other mostly investment losses it still generated a loss of £159,046 on revenue of £476,506. So, its ongoing business is not sustainable as a public company because of the cost base.- By Tom Winnifrith |

#Gowokegobroke: Jaguar and its new advert
Most purchasers of Jaguar cars are older men, the vast majority of whom will be straight. Folks like me who think fondly of Inspector Morse and his Motor. I suspect folks like me are in short supply in the Jaguar marketing department which will be stuffed full of all sorts of diverse young folks with liberal arts degrees. And they have served up the advert below as part of a "rebranding". There is already a backlash. Sales will fall. It will be withdrawn. Nobody will be fired. Life goes on.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Celadon Pharmaceuticals: FFS just come clean, when’s the massively discounted placing?
As a long term bear the near death throes of Celadon Pharmaceuticals (CEL) provide some morbid satisfaction but there is a way of, at least postponing, the grim end and that is a placing. It will be massively discounted but Celadon needs to come clean, fess up and do it before it’s too late.- By Tom Winnifrith |
