Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: If only there'd been a technical analyst on board to warn folks about a 95% share price collapse!

That silly woman from Shares Magazine probably thinks it is racist to make that Zak Mir/Lift Global Ventures (LFT) joke again but it is good enough as the shares plunge to a new low to make it yet again. But seriously folks, I ten turn to Marechale Capital (MAC), the upper class twit of the year 2012-24 and Weardale Lithium, Ariana (AAU),.First Class Metals (FCM), Cirata (CRTA) and Aston Martin (AML)(, both of which are still shorts. I also look at gold stocks as gold hits a new high of $3,123 oz.

Aston Martin Lagonda – prospective further fundraising, for “exquisitely addictive performance cars” or exquisitely addictive further cash burn?

I most recently warned on exquisitely addictive cash burner (Oops, I mean “ultra-luxury British brand, creating the most exquisitely addictive performance cars”)!, Aston Martin Lagonda (AML), just last month, with the shares then falling towards 100p, with I concluding to not have much confidence in the argued “expected” outlook improvement. Now Executive Chairman Lawrence Stroll emphasises that a “proposed investment further underscores my conviction in this extraordinary brand, and commitment to ensuring Aston Martin has the strongest possible platform for creating long-term value while reducing equity dilution via this premium subscription, which should greatly reassure shareholders”. The shares have responded up in response, but what about that to currently still just around 70p?!

As the yellow metal hits $3,122 Goldman Sachs calls gold up to $4500. Or does it?

Gold has hit a new record high of $3,122 oz with commentators blaming Donald Trump’s looming package of tariffs for the rise. So what if the EU has imposed massive tariffs on all importers for years and thus runs a huge trade surplus with the US, let’s blame the Donald for everything.

Another Winnileaks expose: Tavira letter to customers - this does not read well

Oh dear, oh dear, this letter from bucket shop broker to penny dreadfuls Tavira to its clients does not read like its good news and it has found its way to Winnileaks so gets a wider audience. Apparently it has had a strategic review. Uh Oh! The two most dreaded words in the world of finance.

MindGym – argues a “significant improvement in profitability”, but how “significant” really?…

Describing itself as a “global provider of human capital and business improvement solutions”, Mind Gym (MIND) has issued a “trading update” emphasising “a resilient performance in FY25 with significant improvement in profitability” and including that it “is expected to remain profitable in FY26”. However, previously on the company, in December, I wrote interims including “the business has returned to profitability”. Er, no it hasn’t!, so what about a current 22.5p share price?

Eden Research: when’s the placing to avoid a material uncertainty statement?

As it prepares for its 30th Birthday party this June, Eden Research (EDEN) must also be preparing for what it does best: another deeply discounted placing and with the fragrant Jo Hart at Midas no longer pumping the worthless shares with fanciful predictions this could be messy. No placing and a material uncertainty warning is a nailed on cert.

How is Sealand Capital Galaxy not bust? Is Cheuk cheucking in the towel on keeping the lights on?

What am I missing here? It seems to me that Sealand Capital Galaxy (SCGL), whose shares touched 11p earlier this year but are now 0.525p is completely bust. Maybe its CEO, Tom Sawyer, who got Rachel from Customer Services to write his CV, can explain why I am wrong.

GOTCHA!: First Class Metals, bent chairman goes, funding crisis as ponzi 79th cannot back phase 2 placing

The amazing thing is that David Webster, the founder of ponzi fraud the 79th Group had been arrested as part of Operation Mold BEFORE he was appointed as chairman of First Class Metals (FCM), First’s board knew this as did scumbag advisor Novum but they went ahead anyway knowing that without the 79th taking its stake to 50% via a placing at 1.7p, First was bust. Today, after the weekend revelations on this website, Webster has resigned with immediate effect.

Winnileaks: 79th Group ponzi fraud, a victim writes and shows how the company is still lying

At the end of last week the ponzi fraud the 79th Group announced that as of that point  it was suspending capital repayments and interest payments on its mini bonds but stressed that there were good reasons for that and that folks should not worry. A victim who is about to see £30,000 go up in smoke writes to me and shows that this is a demonstrable lie.

URU…Who R U Kidding?

On Friday AIM-listed POS URU Metals announced a keep-the-lights on placing to raise just £300,000 (before expenses, natch….) via Axis Capital Markets and the appointment of Axis at joint broker. Jeez….three listings, now two brokers and a pile of other hangers-on to keep this holed-below-the-waterline John Zorbas vehicle on the road. It says it’ll use the funds on the Zebedelia project. So not to keep the lights on or creditors at bay, then? Er…..

Even ignoring the allegations against Predator Oil from its former MD, I'm struggling to see any reason what it is worth anywhere near the current market cap - sell

Predator Oil and Gas (PRD) seems to be another in a fairly long list of small companies which opted for a main market listing and has spent years, and lots of shareholder money, actually delivering very little.

Ariana – Management Incompetence At Its Worst. Can It Recover?

As noted last Wednesday, I was furious with AIM-listed Ariana Resources (AAU) and its MD Kerim Sener. I still am. This follows the surprise smash’n’grab placing, seemingly to keep the lights on at a company previously drowning in cash and producing Gold (now well north of $3,000 per ounce).

The View From The Montana Log-Cabin As Gold Reaches Further New Highs….When Will The Correction Come?

Gold closed the week at yet another new all-time weekly high of $3,085 compared to last week’s $3,023, having put in another all-time high of $3,087. With the end-of-month and end-of-quarter tomorrow, the odds of new all-time highs there too are strong. Having started the year just over $2,600 the yellow stuff has come a long way, up some 17%.....surely a correction is due.
