Okay here is that 'arry Adams of Kefi video

I expect that the usual suspects will give me grief for airing this and it is with the PR hookers of Proactive so the questions are not tough. What Adams says about cashflows from Tulu Kapi at current gold prices is great but the issue is whether he will have funding secured in the next few weeks as promised. If its yes the shares roof it, if its no they will fall. I still think it will be yes.

Notes from Underground – Most read articles for the week ending 13 April

Here are the most read articles and the most listened-to Bearcasts over the past seven days. The most read non-Tom article last week is Nigel Somerville with Gold Stocks – My Take On Why They’ve Still Got A Long Way To Go at No 3 or No 11 including Bearcasts.

Lucian at 93% of target fundraise on his 63 mile walk for a great cause

I said that last year was my last year of doing a Woodlarks walk and, persistent, health issues mean that is very much the case. But Grandpa, aka Lucian Miers, and reader Nick (a bit of a health Nazi, between you and me) are made of sterner stuff and are doing a 100 km, or as you and I would put it 63 miles, sponsored walk along with members of Lucian’s family. The cause is one I support for personal reasons - they have now raised 93% of the target.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Wrexham up and my new least favourite football team, the gender pay gap, gold and bitcoin

I start with football. Celebrations in Wrexham and joy as my new least favourite side look set for the drop. Then the gender pay gap, gold and bitcoin. Footnote: Iran attacks Israel, bitcoin loses $8,000 in minutes, my store of value point made at once.

Thoughts on Short Selling in the Post-Covid World and some safe targets

The debate raised in a Bloomberg article by Matt Levine about whether fundamental analysis was an eighty-year flash in the pan that is now over (and taken up in a recent bearcast by Tom) is fascinating.

Directa Plus – “GiPave installed at Imola Circuit”, RNS Reach attempted ramptastic?

Directa Plus (DCTA) states that it “is pleased to announce the installation of GiPave at the Imola Circuit ahead of the upcoming Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix in May 2024 as part of the Formula 1 World Championship, making it the first circuit to feature green, sustainable and high-tech asphalt utilising graphene and recycled plastic”. With GiPave including graphene supplied by Directa Plus, how ‘pleasing’ is the news for shareholders here?
ANP

Anpario – a recovery Buy?...

Recently Anpario (ANP) stated that it was “pleased to announce its full year results for the twelve months to 31 December 2023”. The results actually included lower earnings, revenue and cash but also signs of recovery which don’t look reflected in the current share price.
VIC

Why a Share Rise Could Be in the Pipeline for this Plumbing King.

Hello Share Wobblers. Victorian Plumbing Group (VIC) is a Merseyside-based company whose name appeals to me as my home has got, well, Victorian plumbing. I must do something about those leaky taps. I’m also thinking of investing here as the company looks to be rather a good bet. Over the last year, Victorian Plumbing's share price has hit a high of 100p. and a low of 65.5p. Currently, it’s around 75p and I see no glaring reason why, with a recovering economy, it can’t reach its old highs.

LifeSafe Holdings – “pleased to announce” appointment of new Nominated Adviser and broker. I wonder why!…

Fire extinguishing fluids and fire safety products company LifeSafe Holdings (LIFS) has issued an “Appointment of Nomad and Broker”-titled announcement. What’s the detail and should the news make us quickly turn to the balance sheet?

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Petrofac is free money for the bears and does anyone advising Tern have any conscience?

In today's podcast I discuss Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI), Nostra Terra Oil & Gas (NTOG) and "being saved" by Jesus or Matt Lofgran, Tern (TERN), Petrofac (PFC) & Ben's Creek (BEN) and a day of shame for Allenby Capital.

Petrofac statement – it almost admits how screwed it is

I am not sure why shares in Petrofac (PFC) surged in recent days but anyone buying into the spike and ignoring fundamentals that I have explicitly wared about, will this morning be feeling pretty sore. A statement from the company is awful.

Tern – After the preposterous and cynical pump……as things get Wyld

AIM-listed jam-tomorrow investment company Tern plc (TERN) this morning announced a placing to raise just £420,000 (and that, before expenses) at just 2.4p – a cavernous (over) 30% discount. It was quite obvious to seasoned Tern-ologists that this was coming: it was yet again running on fumes and, of course, there was that preposterous pump the other day regarding its (natch…) cash-guzzling investee Talking Medicines and a previous conference-call. The gerbils lapped it up, pushing the shares northwards by well over 50% and this morning the inevitable dump came.
REAT

REACT Group – contract wins including “three material contracts”, a trading momentum continuing Buy

REACT Group (REAT) has announced what it describes as “three material contracts” all for mobilisation this month in addition to a stream of small and medium sized wins, stated as “demonstrates both the demand and the cross selling opportunities for our services”. This sounds good from a current 68p to buy share price, £14.5 million market capitalisation.

Photo Article: the proof that Chill Brands MUST be sitting on bad news about WH Smith

Chill Brands (CHLL) has been very cagey about when its products were set to be sold in 150 of the busiest WH Smith stores. Thanks to a fan of the stock who has also tweeted some nice things about me, here is a hint. The stock was in the Gatwick Airport branch on 5 January, as you can see below. That is a bombshell.

iomart – “results which demonstrate the resilience of the group”. Er, do they?…

Data centres and cloud services group iomart (IOM) has issued a trading update commencing that it “expects to deliver a solid set of full-year financial results which demonstrate the resilience of the group” and emphasising “a solid platform for enhanced revenue growth over the medium term, from extended product solutions, focused sales and marketing activity and complementary M&A”. So why are the shares currently a bit further down to 136p and from above 156p early this year?

Buy 2 Let Cars Limited – the long slow hand of the law.

The UK has a massive problem with fraud. In its report Fraud Track 2024, BDO indicated that reported fraud was £2.3 billion up a 104% on prior year. In many cases the fraudsters operating via the internet and using Crypto currencies are not going to be identified or found by the flat-footed plod which prioritise dealing with “hurtful” tweets on Twitter over financial crimes.
