Castings plc – “the order book remains strong across the group,” BUT…

‘Iron casting and machining group primarily focused on the European heavy truck market’, Castings plc (CGS) has issued a trading update commencing including “the order book remains strong across the group”, so what about a current share price response 6.5% lower to below 260p?

A letter to Wiluna Shire CEO Matt McIntyre: Georgina Energy is calling you out as liars

Georgina Energy (GEX) has posted an RNS today on its problems drilling the Mount Hussar project. It denies what is in black and white, the minutes of Wiluna Shire 29thJuly, which show the real reasons. Georgina is simply accusing Shire of lying so I have written to Shire’s CEO Matt McIntyre ccing in my contact at the FCA. This RNS stinks and is in itself another reason why thus stock is utterly uninvestable even back at 7.9p. My target is 0p or suspension. I write.

Safestay – hopefully my prior warnings were heeded as it’s admitted “face pressure on its liquidity position”!

Describing itself as “one of Europe’s largest hostel groups”, Safestay (SSTY) has issued a “Trading Update” including “year-to-date trading remains below the board’s original expectations”. However previously, with the shares at 8.5p, I concluded including the balance sheet still not “supporting the delivery of its long-term strategic growth ambitions”, so what about now after this latest trading update?

WeCap is technically insolvent by a mile: The Fat Lady approaches

WeCap (WCAP) shares are now trading at 0.225 pence valuing the company at £1 million.  This is significantly lower than the 1 year high of 3.15p when I wrote my article of 5 December 2025 “Detailed Report: WeCap – not as a great an opportunity as it seems, the nest of vipers on the promote.”  Those vipers included Zak Mir and Big Gib.  My bear case has effectively been proven correct.

Shire of Wiluna audio recording: $10m of bad news for Georgina Energy

The View From The Montana Log-Cabin As Gold Capitulates – Am I Panicking?

Gold closed the week at $3,995 – below the $4,000 mark and down from last week’s $4,164 as it seemed to succumb to capitulation. Gold stocks also suffered as can be seen on the chart below (courtesy of ADVFN) of Gold against its mining ETFs GDX, GDXJ and GOEX which plumbed depths not seen since early August: the bounce since then is most certainly over.

Visual Aid: How Many Disaster Warnings Does It Take for People to Act?

In a disaster, speed matters. However, a warning only helps when people receive it clearly and in time. This graphic, in partnership with Lloyd’s Register Foundation, shows how the share of people able to take action rises with more warning channels, using data from the World Risk Poll.

"The big banks / financial system are healthy now"With $40T from the Fed balance sheet and similarly frightening amounts elsewhere in the Western economies all dependent on "the confidence of strangers" I'd say that is quite the assumption.With talk of a potential bail out for France, the ECB is damned if it does, or doesn't. A big domino to topple.

Was there not there an article from Tom suggesting that if the market tanks that gold would also follow ( albeit less so and for a shorter period ). Based on that advice, and looking at charts, surely the best advice is to be in cash, certainly in the short term, earning a good interest payment. There is a distinct possibility that interest rates are exactly where they should be ( normal levels ) and will be for a while ( if not higher ). It was an anomaly having them where they were after the gfc. The big banks / financial system are healthy now, that's the big difference. I'll be watching Berkshire Hathaway and decide what to do when they start to reduce their cash reserves in a meaningful way.

Nigel you should offer your services to American Media channels. You can appear on these channels and be completely wrong and no one ever asks you when you are interviewed on the next occasion why you were wrong.The prominent gold expert and financial author who projected gold reaching $10,000 per ounce around the end of 2026 or mid-2027 is Jim Rickards (author of Currency Wars).First it was dec 2026 now he has shifted it to mid 2027 .( We shall see )

So people warned of a hurricane / cyclone / typhoon through 5 channels are significantly LESS likely to take action than those warned through 4???Sorry, I'm calling cobblers on that.There are clear anomalies around statistical significance calling that whole chart into question.

Excellent analysis as always. We have the Budget this week and the only thing that I can see to help keep this show on the road is a massive cut in Stamp Duty to kick start and propel the housing market forwards. Prices shouldn’t go any higher because interest rates are relatively high but greater transaction increases would mean lots more work and money sloshing about. Estate Agents, removers, cleaners, home DIY projects, extensions, carpets, garden designers - the list of winners goes on and on - and all because of transaction growth. I know it’s tricky but scraping Employees NIC and adding it to income tax would bring in loads of money!

Where miners have a mine where the share price is trading at a huge discount to npv at current gold prices and are fully funded to build the mine , today there is a huge opportunity to buy in.However nobody knows where the Gold price is going.Jordan correctly told his subscriber's in january 2026 that the gold price would pull back.However he never makes predictions about the future unlike many commentators.He merely projects “potential “ outcomes.
