2. This Outfit Pays a 10% Divi and Supports a Thriving Sector the Government Wants to Expand
   Hello Share Collectors. You may not have heard about GCP Infrastructure Investments (GCP), but it seems undervalued and worth a look. It is an investment outfit concentrating on UK infrastructure projects including renewable energy, social housing and transportation and is in the FTSE 250.
   
   
3. Eurocell – 2023 results, emphasises longer-term potential but what about the current outlook?…
   Previously writing on window, door and roofline PVC products company Eurocell (ECEL), in September with the shares falling from 112.5p towards 100p on the back of half-year results I concluded that the prevailing trading outlook with already net debt suggested avoid/sell. The shares most recently closed at 114.5p and what about them currently down towards 110p on a 2023 results announcement headlined “Profits in line with expectations; strong cash flow”?
   
   
4. Three on AIM Death Row, Two strapped to the Gurney this Morning but what about Advanced Oncotherapy?
   Welcome to death row on the curious world of the AIM sewer. Waiting for that final walk to the gurney were Clem Chambers' Online Blockchain (OBC), obvious wrongun’s Tintra (TNT) and Advanced Oncotherapy (AVO) which should have had its last meal on December 31. Today: two took that final walk.
   
   
5. Shanta Gold – late “adjournment” of Meetings to approve offer, why not providing what the shareholders “feedback” was?
   On 20th December Shanta Gold (SHG) was “pleased to announce” agreement of a 13.5p per share cash offer, arguing “it provides an exit opportunity in cash for all shareholders taking into account the current gold price as well as the operational and other risks inherent in the business” and, subsequently, to approve it, there was a Court Meeting scheduled for 1pm, and General Meeting for 1:15pm, today. Instead though today there was a 7am “Adjournment of Court Meeting and General Meeting” announcement, stated to be “following feedback received from Shanta shareholders in connection with the Scheme”. So what’s going on?
   
   
6. Technology Minerals: when will you tell us about the second factory explosion?
   The last time that the factory in Wolverhampton owned by Recyclus, founder, the Tingo fraudster Chris Cleverly, caught fire, Technology Minerals (TM1) issued an RNS. That rather begs the question about the massive fire that took place on January 2.
   
   
7. Now about Kibo and its new management team…
   I am sure that London’s top nomad Mr Roland “fatty” Cornish has thoroughly vetted the proposed new directors at Kibo Mining (KIBO) and so its proposed refinancing and transformation into an oil & gas play, albeit one that is still technically insolvent, will go smoothly. Mr Cornish is noted not only for his daily 12 course luncheons but also for his rigorous due diligence done on folks like Rob Terry at Daniel Stewart, Jonny Hon and of course that chap from New World Oil & Gas who has deemed a flight risk by a Texas court.
   
   
8. Feedback – trading update argues set to “build on the fantastic foundation that we have built”. Er, what about that continuing cash burn?
   Data technology for clinicians company Feedback (FDBK) has issued a trading update with CEO Dr Tom Oakley emphasising “despite a delay in some of our larger national and regional NHS opportunities we have delivered revenue growth in FY2024 and optimised our cost base” and that those delays have also “given us an opportunity to continue pursuing our international opportunities and we are making promising progress in India around TB screening and other upcoming opportunities that have been unlocked by our in-country MD, Rohit Singh, having established the right to sell Bleepa as a medical device”. So what about a share price currently of 67.5p in response, down more than 8%?
   
   
9. Gym Group – emphasises continued “positive trading trends”. Er, what about underlying net cash generation?…
   UK “leading low-cost gym” business The Gym Group (GYM) states that it “is pleased to announce that the positive trading trends highlighted in our H1 results have continued throughout the remainder of the year”. However, on those results and a slightly further down to 111.8p share price, I questioned how well positioned it was to ‘take advantage of growth opportunities’. So what of the trading update today and a current 106.2p share price?
   
   
10. BREAKING: Chill Brands shares suspended – it admits it has no idea about current trading or its financial position
    Oh dear. Oh dear. As disgraced ex tipster Mike Walters would say as yet another of his tips collapsed it seems as if things at Chill Brands (CHLL) are a complete shambles and, admitting, that it has not got an idea how bad they are, the shares have been suspended at the company’s request. That is to stop a false market. I suggest that insolvency now looks very possible.
