Tom Winnifrith Bearcast No2: Once again we far right alt right conspiracy theorists wholly vindicated - mass arrests at Turkish barber shops

 I start with another job LinkedIn thinks I should apply for then myself and Mark Smith celebrate another shock vindication. Then it is the Trump tariffs and a false media narrative on Liberation Day, Gear4Music (G4M), the Versarien (VRS) rescue plan and why it does not make sense and, at last, GOTCHA! Andrew Monk's scumbag pal Robbie McCrae at Caracal (GCAT) is resigned.

Gear4music – its argued “pleased to report” full-year financial performance is actually a material profit warning!

Most recently writing on company describing itself as “the largest UK based online retailer of musical instruments and music equipment” Gear4music (G4M), in September, with the shares at 180p, I concluded I was wary of the suggested second-half reliance and continued to avoid. The shares most recently closed at 135p and what about a “Trading Update” today, with the shares currently further down at 122.5p?

Bearded Geordie Poltroon in Downing Street Caption Contest

 The last AIM CEO I caught circulating photos of himself outside 10 Downing Street was Neill Ricketts of Versarien (VRS). In that honourable tradition a bearded Geordie poltroon headed there yesterday on a totally pointless mission I discussed HERE. Just for fun can you submit a suitable caption in the comments section below. My entry is:

Surface Transforms – argues key customers discussions “at an advanced stage… regarding longer-term arrangements”, but from currently a cash constraints limited ability to operate!

 “Manufacturers of carbon fibre reinforced ceramic automotive brake discs” (well, commercially trying to be!), Surface Transforms (SCE) has issued a “Financing, trading and operations update” commencing that “Key customers continue to be highly supportive”. How’s that translating financially then, with the shares currently further down at 0.275p, a now below £4 million market cap, on the announcement?

Video: Silver to $50, Gold No Longer Cares About The Dollar

 Analyst and trader Florian Grummes reckons that silver will surge from $34 oz to $50 per ounce for silver by late spring 2025, noting that silver often lags behind gold but tends to surge at the end of a bull market.

Brighton Pier Group – hopefully my prior warnings were heeded as it’s now proposed AIM cancellation. (And hello, anyone at AIM listening?)…

 UK leisure and entertainment business Brighton Pier Group (PIER) has announced that its “trading results (on a pre-highlighted items basis) for the 12 month period ended 29 December 2024 are in line with current market expectations. In the first 12 weeks of the current reporting period, total group sales of £4.2 million were £0.1 million lower than the equivalent weeks trading in the previous year” and that it has now concluded “a careful review of the benefits and drawbacks to the company and the shareholders in retaining the company's quotation on AIM”… and the shares are currently nearly 60% lower in response at 7p. You can guess what that means…

Zamboni fraud NUBURU Inc - repeating Supply’s formula of announcing deals with unnamed counterparties to pump its shares but accounts delayed

 Whilst the insolvent fraud Supply@Me Capital (SYME) had to fess up that the insolvent fraud Nuburu (US:BURU) has failed to pay the $500,000 second instalment of its $5,150,000 financing facility that was due on 31st March, Nuburu has at the date of this note not fessed up to its cash flow problem.

BREAKING: GOTCHA, FRC thanks Tom Winnifrith as Tern rapped on knuckles

But a letter today from the Financial Reporting Council, my good pals at the FRC, indicates otherwise.

Northcoders – “New Consultancy contract wins”, but how’s current trading?

 Describing itself as “a market leader in technology training in the UK”, Northcoders Group (CODE) “is pleased to announce… new contracts with Skipton Building Society, one of the leading UK-based mutual financial services groups, and Manchester Airports Group”. How ‘pleasing’ are these, with the shares moving a bit higher in response to 119.5p but that down from above 150p just over a month ago?

Amaroq Minerals – 2024 results and mineral resource estimate suggest still a winning share tip Buy

Amaroq Minerals (AMRQ) has announced its results for 2024 and an update on planned exploration activities for 2025 as well as a “Significant Increase in Nalunaq Mineral Resource Estimate”. That sounds like further good news from a 90p share price It is, but as explained here, the Icelandic market has puked since Friday and so Amaroq shares are easier thanks to selling, partly to cover margin calls. That should be seen as an opportunity as Iceland will calm down and Amaroq’s fundamentals are better than ever.

Strip Tinning – “trading materially ahead of expectations”, but it is what the “expectations” were which determines how much of an achievement that is. And…

The shares most recently closed at below 20p but what about them currently back up to 38.5p on a “Trading and Business Update” announcement?

No money, guzzling cash, likely to delist, a blue sky jam tomorrow story and run by rule breaking shysters, Celadon Pharmaceuticals (CEL) is just the sort of dog Walters would have tipped. Yesterday it waited until I was on the school run for its latest bad news. The shares, 125p two years ago when I first called this out, are now 3.5p.
