Tom Winnifrith Bearcast No 1: blood on the streets

The plumber has rescued me and we have water. Phew. Back home I am poorer than at the start of trading as are most folks. What does one do when there is blood on the streets? En passant I cover Skinbioterapeutics (SBTX), Versarien (VRS), Legal & General (LGEN) and Imperial Brands (IMB) and much else besides.

Catenai - Klarian to repay loan but loss nailed on for 2024, share spike well overcooked

The announcement that Klarian will repay the £450,000 loan plus accrued interest and fees of £117,500 is obviously good news for Catenai (CTAI) but before you bet the ranch on the shares consider the company’s financial position..

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: will Trump kill off Tek Capital? Tales from the Greek Hovel & More

I started my day at 3 AM but am now at the Greek Hovel. I recount a few tales including an airport ear bashing from Minoan's (MIN) Egleton, made possible by Brexit as Euroloon Jonathan Price will, no doubt, say later. Then it is Tek Capital (TEK), Microsalt (SALT), Upland Resources (UPL), Celadon (CEL) and other assorted dross.

Minoan: A damning reader post identifies only half the problem as punters lose 99% or more and the boss makes £5m or more

Reader PJ has posted a list of RNS statements made by Minoan (MIN) over the years. Ramptastic is the word. Others might suggest that outright porkies were told. The list is below, judge for yourselves. But it is only half the problem.

The Alessandro Zamboni FRAUD RegTech Open Project - another step closer to a PrePack administration

In a previous note I highlighted that RegTech Open (RTOP) had appointed a new Director who was also a Director of a company which was a specialist in corporate restructuring. Well over at Companies House RegTech has now changed its registered office to that of Company Rescue.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast No2: Bugger I have to go to Greece

There are problems at the hovel so I must fly early on Sunday and am back Thursday. This is not planned and I am very cross about it. I hope that I can minimise disruption on this website. In today's podcast I look at Trump tariffs, market meltdown especially in oil. Then it is Diversified Energy (DEC), Union Jack Oil (UJO), Upland Resources (UPL), Victoria (VCP), Futura Medical (FUIM), Glencore (GLEN), Amaroq (AMRQ), Minoan (MIN) and Celadon (CEL).

Beowulf – is this a record of non delivery and Swedish marching backwards for 14 years?

Today, Beowulf Mining (BEM) says that it is “pleased” to have raised fresh funds at 11p. The shares closed at 20p yesterday and were £31.60 in adjusted terms at their peak so I am not so sure that the pleasure will be universal. I fact Beowulf must be a record breaker for AIM non delivery, making even Minoan (MIN), Eden Research (EDEN) and the other jam tomorrow producers, founded in the naughty nineties, look almost competent.

Are you talking about me Frances or the Hemogenyx boss?

Frances Farmer uses the sort of language that would make the late Bernard Manning blush over on X, formerly twitter. I have no idea who Frances is but he/she/they have launched a mini tirade against either myself or the arsehole boss of Hemogenyx (HEMO), Vlad Sandler.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast No 1: Steve O' Hara vs Chris Egleton, what AIM should be for and what it has become

I look at the records of the boss of Optibiotix (OPTI) and that of Minoan (MIN) and also explain why the former is just so extraordinarily cheap right now. Even O'Hara's critics, of whom there are many, can surely not argue with hard numbers.
