Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
I would like to apologise to Mr. Andrew Monk for suggesting that his claim that I was a shareholder in VSA Capital (VSA) was a vile smear. I have now tracked down the share registrars and it appears that a share certificate for 2,000 shares was indeed dispatched to a wholly out of date address. I am thus the owner of shares which might just be sold for a paltry £120.
As you may have seen on twitter, Mr Andrew Monk is on a no expenses spared trip to Vancouver to tell folks there several times a day that he went to Oriel College Oxford where he got an upper second in name dropping. Actually, he is there taking Invinity (IES) round fund managers on a ramping trip. Now he has taken to twitter with two most monstrous slurs.
I have highlighted the numerous red flags and dodgy deals that make no sense relating to Standard List Zamaz (ZAMZ) on this website numerous times. Its main man Dominic White made millions cashing out of the fraud Supply@ME Capital (SYME) which he helped bring to the market. Today Zamaz has announced that it has a new adviser. Which firm is so desperate that it will act for Zamaz?
Who could have predicted this shitshow? I did but pompous Andrew Monk (Oriel College Oxford, don’t you know) insisted I was talking nonsense. You may well remember that Monkey only managed to record a profit last year by booking a £1 million fee from Aquis lobster pot listed Silverwood (SLWD) for advising it on its purchase of 20% of Lush. The fee was payable in shares which are completely untradeable. Uh oh!
“Oh what a tangled web we weave. When first we practice to deceive.” Andrew Monk, as he oft reminds us went to Oriel College Oxford where he studied rowing and name dropping. So he probably thinks the quote is from Shakespeare. You, dear reader, know that it is from Walter Scott, Marmion, A tale of Flodden Field. But in terms of Monk’s VSA capital (VSA) and its results out today it is apposite although, I should stress, the results are fully compliant with all accounting standards.
The first relates to VSA Capital (VSA) itself, the second to Cook’s Coffee (COOK) an abomination of an IPO VSA inflicted on the Aquis Losbter pot late last year. Monk, who normally loves the sound of his own voice especially when mentioning that he went to Oriel College Oxford seems strangely silent on these two matters
The FCA and Aquis Regulation are already investigating this scandal and so, with a hat Tip to in-house BB genius PL, I post the question as to whether on two counts, VSA Capital’s (VSA) star client Silverwood Brands (SLWD) has twice breached the Companies Act. If it has, surely VSA’s CEO Andrew “have I mentioned that I went to Oriel College Oxford, Monk needs to issue a profits warning.
Smug stockbroker Andrew Monk has, probably, today already several folks about his education at Oriel College Oxford but is yet to respond to the issue of him misleading the market with regard to revenue recognition re Silverwood Brands (SLWD) so here is another question for the Monkey.
Not only does Andrew Monk and VSA Capital list shitcos on the Aquis Lobster Pot but VSA itself is listed on Aquis too. It listed at 21p on 9 September 2021. Its shares are 49% down so far this year and can now be sold for just 10p. But has the Monkey legged over investors with a misleading trading statement. I think the graduate of Oriel College Oxford (has he told us about his posh education yet today?) has and have written to Aquis Regulation suggesting it force VSA to clarify.
Shares in Aquis listed Silverwood Brands (SLWD) are almost untradeable. That did not stop pompous Andrew Monk boasting that his fees for Silverwood buying a stake in Lush from Silverwood’s directors for £216 million (in shares) would ensure that VSA would make a profit this year, having been loss making to the tune of almost a Bernie at the interim stage. Today there is another update from Silverwood showing what utter crap VSA has told investors.
I have commented HERE on the scandal of the £216 Lush blow up involving Andrew Monk's VSA Capital (VSA). That is the VSA which is happy to act for the crooked insider dealing market abusers at Caracal Gold (GCAT).as it finds itself under a full blown FCA Enquiry. So who better to lecture, in the tweet below, the ethical chaps at Lush on corporate ethics than Mr Monk? What next? Nadhim Zahawi lecturing us all on why we should pay more tax? Matt Hancock on the sanctity of marriage? David Moyes on how to manage a football club?
Who said that for a small cap broker “delisting is inevitable. All are struggling to survive in a climate of scarce deals, low trading volumes, strong competition and rising costs” Okay it is a trick question but the answer is Andrew Monk of VSA Capital (VSA). The trick is that …
Aquis listed VSA Capital (VSA) makes its dosh floating and raising money for shitty little companies on AIM, the Sub Standard List and Aquis. The photo below, from yesterday, shows its staff preparing to party in the sun. So, with a prize of some worthless shares in star VSA float AIQ Limited (AIQ), let's all play "spot the customer's yachts."
Those who have not been cut off from Andrew Monk’s morning email will, over the past few years have been told time and time again how cheap are shares in the bastard son of Monk & David Lenigas, that is to say Anglo African Agriculture (AAAP). Shares in the company were 12.5p when Monkey first arranged a deal to reverse a Kenyan Port into the sub scale Zim South food producer. They are now 3.75p as that deal has fallen through.
