Early this year as gold burst through $2,800 per ounce to hit, at that time, a high again, Tom Winnifrith launched a gold share pick and price (as a tiebreaker) reader contest, for which there may be a small prize, HERE. And the standings at the end of the first quarter of 2025, and with gold having reached above $3,100 per ounce, are...
Most recently writing on company describing itself as “a leading supplier of specialist connection systems to the automotive sector” Strip Tinning Holdings (STG), in December with the shares up towards 40p I concluded to avoid with forecast further losses even on the favourable-compared-to-the-bottom-line metric of adjusted EBITDA and with also its already financial position. The shares most recently closed at below 20p but what about them currently back up to 38.5p on a “Trading and Business Update” announcement?
Having asked for readers tips for 2025 for the prize of 1/4 litre of Tom Winnifrith’s Greek Hovel olive oil (2025 harvest) HERE, the following is the end-March monthly update (to be eligible needed to have selected, on a once per username basis, one Buy and one Sell pick from the London Stock Exchange Main Market or AIM casino and they not then having had a shares suspension/cancellation announcement). And leading at the end of the first quarter is...
I most recently warned on exquisitely addictive cash burner (Oops, I mean “ultra-luxury British brand, creating the most exquisitely addictive performance cars”)!, Aston Martin Lagonda (AML), just last month, with the shares then falling towards 100p, with I concluding to not have much confidence in the argued “expected” outlook improvement. Now Executive Chairman Lawrence Stroll emphasises that a “proposed investment further underscores my conviction in this extraordinary brand, and commitment to ensuring Aston Martin has the strongest possible platform for creating long-term value while reducing equity dilution via this premium subscription, which should greatly reassure shareholders”. The shares have responded up in response, but what about that to currently still just around 70p?!
Describing itself as a “global provider of human capital and business improvement solutions”, Mind Gym (MIND) has issued a “trading update” emphasising “a resilient performance in FY25 with significant improvement in profitability” and including that it “is expected to remain profitable in FY26”. However, previously on the company, in December, I wrote interims including “the business has returned to profitability”. Er, no it hasn’t!, so what about a current 22.5p share price?
Most recently writing on semiconductors developer CML Microsystems (CML), in November with the shares down towards 230p I concluded that, at least in the next months, it was highly likely the-then trading environment would persist and that it was, therefore, likely profit warning ahoy on expectations that the company seemingly dare not detail – house broker Shore Capital’s more than £2 million adjusted pre-tax profit for the full-year and, as such, to still avoid. The shares most recently closed at 226p, and what of them currently falling to around 210p on the back of a 12:42pm (er, why?) “Trading Update”?
