Greetings from Brooklyn. The podcast starts with a look at dying Groupon and LivingSocial, dying unicorns. What does this tell us about buying shares in cash burning companies – think most stocks on AIM. Then it is onto Armstrong Ventures (AVP), Gulf Keystone (GKP), Iofina (IOF), Alecto (ALO) and Cloudbuy (CBUY). Sorry this is a short issue with no swearing at all, but a busy day beckons.

omg! Most boring Bearcast ever, you sounded like the guy doing the BBC shipping forecast from 30 or 40 years ago!
Were you in a Starbucks there, hence the low dulcet tones, and the lack of the usual effing and blinding…?! ;)

No comment on Mitie? It was another short from UK Investor alongside Plus500, also had a bad day today…

Tom, it would be great to hear your thoughts on Vislink! To me it seems a sound company on a stable financial footing with just greedy directors on that incentive pay scheme…

Tom, I am loving your commentary on the fat mans entities, Other nicknames for him in the city Mr Blobby, Mr lardy arse, to name but a few. I do remember some years ago being told by the late Mr Whyatt, stay clear! Any way have you checked out Evocutis and who the main investors are? Interesting. After an investment in Brazil Tungsten the fat man stated on his twitter bull page (Just watch what i do with this one) well nobody can find out anything. It also appears that he did not take up the option to invest more, as he said he was doing. No announcement saying that they were not investing any more, look at the directors names. Another investment vehicle running out of oil.
