The British fire a full salvo in the Currency wars, expect the Far East to return fire.

You have to admit it is really quite amazing. Two weeks ago, Central Bankers and leading politicians were exclaiming that if Britain left the E.U. it would be a catastrophic economic event on the magnitude of a “Lehman “moment. However, despite all of the talk of gloom if you had been asleep over the last month you wouldn’t know something had happened, other than sterling collapsing.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Highland Natural at 19p, fair value 3p

A few words on logistics then after today's debacle at Highlands Natural Resources (HNR) I explain why the shares are worth just 3p (or less). Then it is onto PCG Entertainment (PGCE), Jiasen (JSI), Belfort Securities and its morality vacuum, Tungsten (TUNG), Onzima (ONZ), IGAS (IGAS) and Solo (SOLO). Finally, more than a few words about Advanced Oncotherapy (AVO)

Igas – Sunday press PR puffery tells you all you need to know: sell

Tom Winnifrith has already quite correctly berated the Sunday Telegraph for its piece yesterday on the ongoing travails of AIM-listed Igas Energy (IGAS) and its little debt problem. The sense of desperation which saw this piece of abject puffery in a national newspaper is apparent to anyone who looks at the balance sheet, or read the comments from the company about its expected bond covenant default in the second half of this year (ie any time now). But the article reads like a dodgy RNS aimed at getting the bulletin board morons to pile in while the crony capitalists get out.

Highlands Natural - the joke Helium deal with Opera collapses - the lies go on

A month ago Highlands Natural Resources (HNR) announced that it had sold some assets it had bought days previously for $91,000 for £4 million in shares in fellow standard list dog Opera (OPRA) as well as £240,000 in cash. Today that joke deal has collapsed leaving Opera desperately seeking another acquisition and with its credibility in tatters and Highlands needing to explain the lies it has told.

Why I Won't Buy Back My IndigoVision Shares

Hello Share Smashers. I sold my long-held shares in IndigoVision (IND) a couple of years ago. They’d made a big profit for me. So why did I sell?

The Financial Media is part of the problem of AIM Corruption (again) - IGAS and The Telegraph

Having exposed the appalling goings on at the Daily Telegraph with regards to going bust Avanti Communications (AVN) last week, now it is the turn of the sister paper the Sunday Telegraph which on its from page today has a quite shocking piece on IGAS. This might as well have been dictated by the PR flunky it is so jaw droppingly bad.

Frontier Resources - RTO placing and name changed announced

Another bust company becomes a healthcare player thanks to an Adam Reynolds RTO. Let us hope that Frontier Resources (FRI) becomes another Optibiotix (OPTI). The reversal is of a company called Concepta Diagnostics Ltd into Frontier and the PLC will change its name to Concepta.

Gold Is Good; Uranium Is Great - Rick Rule

Rick Rule started his career in the 1970’s bull market, which had a spectacular shift towards resources after a 50 year lull. He is preparing for what he believes may be the greatest shift in natural resource markets that he will witness for the rest of his career. He says that the next 5 years will be more generous for the junior resource space than most give credit for. The junior precious metals market is already up about 100% in a short period of time

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: You cant fix the property bubble by making it bigger

In a wide ranging podcast I look at the bubbles in property and elsewhere and how we create bigger bubbles as we fix smaller ones. The day of reckoning can be postponed for only so long.

H&T Pawnbrokers – Still as good as gold

Yesterday, I explained why I think gold-bugs should pay closer attention to the pawnbroking sector, and mentioned that H&T Pawnbrokers (HAT) is currently more than 20% of my stock portfolio. Today, I’ll take a look at the trading update which H&T released on Thursday, and see if the investment case still stands up.

Why AIM’s woeful regulatory environment makes it a hotbed of FRAUD.

It seems that we at ShareProphets are not the only people concerned about the amount of fraud we see on the London markets – and, in particular, on AIM. We have seen the horror of the biggest stockmarket fraud for thirty years (Quindell, QPP – now Watchstone, WTC) unfold before our very eyes and yet as Tom Winnifrith doggedly banged on the doors of AIM Regulation and the FCA they did nothing and the frauds continued unchecked for far longer than they otherwise would.

Challenger Acquisitions – Time running out and the only buyer of shares has gone too

Another week and yet another soft interview for Mark Gustafson, CEO, of Challenger Acquisitions (CHAL), this time at Sharepickers. Desperation is setting in as time is running out and the only buyer in any volume is no longer able to buy. It’s not looking good.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast - the curse of the tipster, commercial suicide

In this podcast I discuss pruning here in Bristol, an update on the Gooseberry crumble and then the lessons about how folks behave as investors or rather gamblers we can learn from the Worthington (WRN) fraud which must now be brown bread as explained HERE earlier today following news on Friday. That section also mentions Cloudtag (CTAG) and tech stocks. Then I look at commercial suicide, the curse of the tipster and Bluebird Merchant Ventures (BMV).

Fraud Worthington: Now it is double brown bread, why is the UKLA so fecking useless?

On Friday July 1 NunaMinerals was put into administration. I therefore suggested a day or two later, that the RTO whereby Nuna took over Main Market fraud Worthington (WRN) was off and that on Monday 4 July the UKLA would have to take action. Amazingly the chocolate teapots have done nothing. Truly these folk make the oxymorons at AIM Regulation look like a collection of Nobel prize winners. But it gets worse.

Onzima assets are worth a fraction of its market value - sell!

Often when you take a look at the assets of tiny companies which people are getting excited about, it is hard to see why anywhere near as much value is being attributed to them as there often is.

IGAS PLC Hot on the Heels of Gulf Keystone. Sell at 12.5p

As Gulf Keystone (GKP) sputters toward its inevitable fate, the hunt is on to spot the next equity wipeout in this space. There are quite a few runners and riders. I mentioned Xcite (XEL) a while back and Premier Oil (PMO) is also in the frame.  My nap however is Igas Plc (IGAS) as the next for the chop.

China fraud LED International Holdings and AIM Rule 41: when a rule isn’t a rule at all

ShareProphets AIM-China Filthy Forty member LED International Holdings (LED) has been suspended from trading since 22 Dec 2015 – we are well into month seven of suspension, then. AIM Rule 41 says: “The Exchange will cancel the admission of AIM securities where these have been suspended from trading for six months”. Yet LED has still not been given the order of the boot by AIM Regulation. I dropped our friendly Oxymorons a line….
