Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: I just don't understand what Malcolm sees in Blackbird?

I start with more ranting about Beechwood Nurseries. Then it is on to: Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) - more blood pressure issues - the Silverwood (SLWD), VSA (VSA), Andrew Monk and  Lush scandal, Wildcat Petroleum (WCAT) MGC Pharmaceutics (MXC), Fevertree (FEVR) and then Malcolm's strange love affir with Blackbird (BIRD) which I cannot fathom at all.

Fevertree – its all about cash for me

The market seems to like today’s full year numbers from FeverTree (FEVR) but then expectations had already been muted. Under-promise and over deliver as the old adage goes. Me? I am an old fashioned sort of chap who does not like companies funding not only their entire ordinary dividend but also a special not from earnings but simply by running down cash. Is that long term smart in this uncertain world.

BREAKING: The £216.8m Lush scandal: Silverwood Brands – advised by Andrew Monk’s VSA Capital: has it twice breached the Companies Act

The FCA and Aquis Regulation are already investigating this scandal and so, with a hat Tip to in-house BB genius PL, I post the question as to whether on two counts, VSA Capital’s (VSA) star client Silverwood Brands (SLWD) has twice breached the Companies Act. If it has, surely VSA’s CEO Andrew “have I mentioned that I went to Oriel College Oxford, Monk needs to issue a profits warning.

Wildcat Petroleum and Ross Andrews of Guild Financial Advisory – Letter to the FCA

On Friday 17 March 2023 Wildcat Petroleum (WCAT) of the Standard List sewer published its half year numbers. On Saturday in two articles HERE and HERE I detailed the EIGHT material errors within those statements which meant the P&L, balance sheet and cashflow statement were all wrong. I alerted advisor Ross Andrews to those articles on Saturday morning suggesting a Monday morning restatement was needed.

Another Question for Andrew Monk about the £216.8 million Silverwood deal now under FCA scrutiny

Smug stockbroker Andrew Monk has, probably, today already several folks about his education at Oriel College Oxford but is yet to respond to the issue of him misleading the market with regard to revenue recognition re Silverwood Brands (SLWD) so here is another question for the Monkey.

Meli and Ouzo on my cornflakes – British Honey goes bust

Three years and five days after listing on the Aquis lobster pot after raising £4.25 million at 110p British Honey (BHC) has today gone bust and appointed administrators. I warned that it was “uninvestable” when the shares were 114p in October 2021. Today it is game over. As I consider honey and ouzo on my cornflakes, the list of warning signs were there for all to see. Natch folks knew better than Old Tom.

Oxford Nanopore – is this low growth cash guzzler really worth £1.45 billion? Dismal results posted!

Its association with Neil Woodford and its constant hyping, no rather sordid slavering adulation, by the deadwood press always lead me to treat Oxford Nanopore (ONT) with real suspicion. Institutional investors bundled in at 425p in its September 2021 IPO. Today the shares are just 176p but piss poor results suggest even that valuation is mighty generous.
