Sorbic International – a lesson in corporate governance risk on the Filthy Forty

I was taking a look at what happened to ex-AIM listed and Filthy Forty constituent Sorbic International (SORB) after it was booted off the AIM Casino earlier this year. Can we draw some lessons? Are there some clues as to why so many of the Filthy Forty have shown that they should never have been allowed near the world’s most successful growth market? We need look no further than its interims, released on 30 June 2015 where all is laid bare, plain for all to see. It is utterly shocking. It shows that there can be no corporate governance which can be relied upon.

News from the Norfolk Province of AIM - Sorbic International plc

Hot on the heels of Tom Winnifrith’s prediction that GATE would be the next China fraud to follow Naibu through the AIM exit door followed by Jiasen (JSI), we had news from JQW (JQW) (more to follow on that one later) and the already suspended Sorbic (SORB). The latter will provide stiff competition to Gate Ventures (GATE), as it announced in its interims that since the resignation of Finncap as Nomad on 16 June, no Nomad had been willing to replace Finncap and accordingly Sorbic is likely to depart AIM on 17 July.

Sorbic finally admits CEO has stolen all its cash but it could well be worse at this China AIM fraud

The London Stock Exchange denies that there is a problem with China AIM frauds. What planet is patrician twit Chris Gibson Smith on? Well it is only dirty little people (aka private investors) who are being cleaned out so who gives a FF anyway, Chris old boy? This brings us to Sorbic (SORB) which today admitted that its CEO has stolen all its money, In fact I reckon it’s worse than that.

Another day & Sorbic, another AIM China fraud, suspended as the claimed cash mountain disappears

Even the thickest mothers on this planet (that is to say the AIM regulation team) must be spotting a pattern by now as another AIM listed China fraud (Sorbic) bites the dust.

Ocado has had a very good run over the last 3 months and is up nearly 80%. It’s off a bit and any general market sell off is going to hit anything considered a tech stock especially hard. I’d say it looks a good call to short.

Why worry about France 10 year 4.92% today, having a better day ( avoided a downgrade) at the same time the basket case seems to be UK 10 year 5.35% and that is before the budget.German 10 year 3.37%.Everything seems to be a worry. Is it the nights drawing in and the rainy/stormy weather?The heating going on after a glorious summer, adds to costs!It starts to feel like cash is king and dividend paying stocks is the place to be.Though the government might increase the tax companies pay on dividends, decreasing the value of dividends paid to shareholders, a socialist government would claim it only effects the rich.Stocks and Shares ISAs in the UK stands at approximately £531.2 billion if dividends are £25 billion a year a 10% increase on dividends before they reach your ISA would raise £2.5 billion.I would not put anything past these socialist bastards.

"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 )
