Oh dear, oh dear, its another bleak morning for poor Gary Newman who I know was tempted by this to help diversify his portfolio away from his beloved Horizonte Minerals (HZM). Another day and its another dire statement from Audioboom (BOOM). At this rate poor Gary will need to start eating the roach and chub he catches at the weekend.
It is not for you or I to judge the guilt or otherwise of Mr Russell Brand. I realise that when I suggested that it was wrong for Mr Philip Schofield to shag a runner on his show and to use TV station cars to ferry around a young lover that was, on my part, homophobic. That Mr Brand is alleged to have done exactly the same and far worse with girls is therefore all grounds for legitimate condemnation without fear of being homophobic. Whatever. What is fascinating is that it is now universally agreed that Brand has always been a foul mouthed ignoramus who treated women badly. Yet…
Oh dear. How is stale bull Gary Newman faring this morning? Audioboom (BOOM) about which I warned the complete-angler has served up half calendar year numbers which are, at every level, piss poor and the shares have slumped to just 180p. Please, young Gary, don’t go bottom fishing, for there is worse to come!
It's ouzo on cornflakes this morning for the Sheriff of AIM as Audioboom (BOOM) has served up another dire, and, I suggest, misleading lack of profits warning. For fanboy Gary Newman it looks like cold cabbage water tonight. And if anyone is thinking of bottom fishing as the shares have slumped by 23% to 216.5p. Don’t! Things will get worse.
I start by referring you to the smelliest nest of vipers bearcast of September 2020. Three of the four interconnected players (Dev Clever, Asimilar, All Active Asset Management) have in various ways collapsed. The fourth is Audioboom (BOOM). My esteemed colleague Gary Newman and other supporters of this company claim that it is a “growth story” and should be valued accordingly. Today’s dismal Q1 update suggests otherwise. Big time.
The release below, from Eliot & Luther purports to show the Asia based advisory firm speaking for folks owning more than 10% of Audioboom (BOOM) who now want a seat on the board. Oddly Audioboom has not responded with an RNS. Perhaps because this is another spoof from disgraced ramper & market abuser Robert Bonnier.
I see that, on twitter, comrade Gary Newman of this parish is suggesting that he is tempted by Audioboom (BOOM) largely because he sees there being more and more demand for podcasts.as his friend and colleague I urge him to sit down in a dark room, dream about kissing poisonous spiders in the jungle, and think again. Today’s 2022 trading update adds to the bear case as outlined by Lucian Miers in his tip of the year HERE, it is no reason to buy.
Across the West if we are not already in a recession, we are teetering on the edge of one. And, as such, everybody who is reliant on advertising income must have known what was coming. Except, it seems Audioboom (BOOM).
The shares are off another 15% today at 498p. That is less than a quarter of what they were, earlier this year when the fraudsters favourite journalist Ben Harrington was telling readers of the loathsome fake financial newspaper the Mail on Sunday that bidders were circling. So why are the shares trading lower. There are three reasons:
Oh dear, Oh dear, as my old pal Michael Walters would say as one of the many duffers he had tipped aggressively had an encounter with the Fat Lady. The house of cards that is Audioboom (BOOM), AAA, and Asimilar (ASLR) is starting to collapse.
By my rough calculations the second of Versarien’s (VRS) disastrously expensive death spirals struck with Landstead has come to an end. The good news is that this prevents roughly 25,000 shares being dumped in the market every day. The bad news is that Versarien no longer receives around £100,000 a month from Lanstead. It’s also bad news for the unnamed “agent” who has been trousering a 2.5% cut of the money!
Bear raider Miles Dyson and I chatted the other day. Lucian Miers says that - apart from me - Miles is his new best buddy. His work on Audioboom (BOOM) suggesting fabricated user numbers is compelling as you can see here. But last night he unearthed a hammer blow which, as I shall explain below, will have devastating consequences for the share price.
I do not think Miles is finished with Victoria (VCP) yet where I agree with him that this could well be a zero. Meanwhile he has a new target where I am also a long time bear,
It is Audioboom (BOOM). Enjoy. The valuation here is bonkers so with the red flags exposed by Miles this is a double short.
