In this podcast I have a couple of admin matters to report on, I reflect on Eurovision scumbags last night and then four corporate scumbags at Optibiotix (OPY), Celadon (CEL), Blue Star Capital (BLU) and Braveheart (BRH).
I start by countering points made by Sohail on immigration and the need to import unskilled workers. Then it is onto Optibiotix (OPTI) and its attempts to fend off an EGM. It really does not get it. What do you think of its plan? It makes me livid and almost makes me think that Steve O'Hara should also be sacked..
Whatever you think about immigration these poll numbers are dramatic and indicate a land very much not at ease with itself. Then onto Conroy Gold & Diamonds (CGNR), Genflow (GENF), Vinanz (BTC) and more spoofing from David Lenigas, rowing with the City establishment fellow PL on Kinovo (KINO) and a word about a possible new speaker at Sharestock. Book your seats for my last show on September 6 HERE.
All four companies have had news. I discuss Amaroq (AMRQ), Eco Buildings (ECOB), Imperial Brands (IMB) and Advanced ADVT (ADVT). I have also got agreement from someone prepared to be the new chairman of Optibiotix (OPTI). No word from O'Hara yet on whether Neil Davidson will go quietly or will have to be pushed.
The bad compani8es are, of course, Versarien (VRS) and Mirriad (MIRI). The good company being bought on the cheap at £297 million is pawn broker & gold play H&T (HAT), a winning Steve Moore share tip. Today explains all that is wrong about AIM
Ignore the golden rule about not backing a stock where you fancy the boss, I discuss Vin Murria's genius at AdvancedAdvT (ADVT) and then PR kicking yourself in the gonads again by a company which I don't write about.
Four months after saying that it was fully funded for a year, Vinanz (BTC) the cash guzzling bitcoin miner run by Big Dave Lenigas, has taken outa death spiral but calls it bridging finance. Saints preserve us, how is such spoofing allowed?
I start with a greeting to the FCA and AIM Regulation as I am told both are keen listeners, then the Orwellian con of Labour's immigration proposals and the issue of scarce workers in social care. Then it is paying a high price for certainty and a stock I don't write about. Then it is Argo Blockchain (ARB), Petra Diamonds (PDL) and IQE (IQE), 1 zero, 1 almost zero ands 1 just grossly overvalued. Oh and IQE needs to stop the cover up for Drew Nelson.
I cover the £495 million to £13 million AIM scandal from IPO to how to read today's shocker. At the end in a sort of related way I look at the latest bonkers missive from the Versarien (VRS) owning Sour Kraut.
Using Leni-maths Big Dave is, apparently, 35 yet again. I look at the falling gold price and what it means for miners generally. I mention Amaroq (AMRQ), Greatland (GGP), a company I should not and Wishbone (WSBN)
