Notes from Underground – Most read articles for the week ending Oct 26

By Darren Atwater | Sunday 27 October 2024


 


The most read non-Tom article last week is The View From The Montana Log-Cabin As Gold Takes Out $2,700 by Nigel Somerville at number 1 or number 1 including Bearcasts. 

The most-read ShareProphets articles this week were:

  1. The View From The Montana Log-Cabin As Gold Takes Out $2,700
    Gold closed the week at another all-time weekly high of $2,721 – up 2.4% from last week’s $2,657, but it was the performance of the miners which should be grabbing your attention. As can be seen on the chart below of Gold against the miners, the Gold-mining ETFs GDX (majors), GDXJ (juniors) and GOEX (explorers) had a stellar week. 

  2. Is Petrofac Worthless? Evil Banksta does new sums
    Previously, Liverpool’s greatest numbers man since Ken Dodd had suggested that shares in Petrofac (PFC), currently 13p, were worth 4p. But in light of recent developments I asked him if he was being too generous “is the stock worthless”. The great man opined:

  3. BREAKING: PensionBee – placing, just “to accelerate investment in its US business”?
    ‘Leading online pension provider’ PensionBee Group (PBEE) has announced a proposed “approximately £20 million” placing “to accelerate investment in its US business”. Is that the only reason?

  4. Strip Tinning – “delighted to announce” a new Glazing sales nomination, but what about recently with “significant wins” meant to drive growth?…
    Describing itself as “a leading supplier of specialist connection systems to the automotive sector”, Strip Tinning (STG) commences a “New Glazing Sales Nomination” announcement with that it “is delighted to announce the receipt of a fifth strategic nomination in the rapidly growing PDLC "smart glass" market, from the leading Global automotive Tier 1 Glazing manufacturer”. What about a share price rising towards 3% higher at 36p in response?

  5. Cordel – “AI Technology Certified by Network Rail”, share price rise justified or is the announcement again ramptastic?
    A “Cordel AI Technology Certified by Network Rail”-titled announcement from Cordel Group (CRDL) today which includes Cordel CEO John Davis emphasising “Network Rail has some of the most stringent infrastructure monitoring standards in the world, and we believe this approval consolidates our position as the most advanced supplier of AI-driven railway infrastructure insights”. So is a current 6.5% higher share price response to above 6p to give a £13.2 million market cap justified or is the announcement ramptastic?

  6. BREAKING: Supply@ME Capital, a second auditor resignation letter on the way
    Oooh er missus, what on earth is going on here? On 4 October at Companies House the resignation letter of Crowe as auditors to the fraud Supply@ME Capital (SYME) finally appeared. Crowe said that it was not prepared to continue in its role because of the risks associated with it. However…

  7. Reader Poll: who should be chairman of Optibiotix?
    Make your vote with a deadline of 7 AM Wednesday. Should it be: Neil Davidson on £70,000 a year, Tom Winnifrith on £17,500 a yea, or Stuart Ashman on whatever he wants.

  8. UK Oil & Gas on Channel 4 News last night: did not sound good
    Watching Channel 4 news is something I do now and again as a bit of self torture. Guest after guest lines up to accuse Donald Trump of being Hitler, to nominate Hamas for the Nobel peace price and chancellor Rachel Thieves for the Nobel prize for economics. There is no balance whatsoever and presenter Krishnan is still the same ghastly smug turd that he was back at Hertford College Oxford thirty five years ago. Last night I watched and there was a long report on UK Oil & Gas.

  9. Ariana Resources – review identifies significant further Dokwe project upside potential, Buy
    Ariana Resources (AAU) has announced a review of exploration data and geology at its 1.8Moz Dokwe gold project in Zimbabwe “has led to the identification of several zones showing potential for significant resource upside”. How good is the news from an up to 2.55p share price?

  10. Breaking: Has Neil Davidson at Optibiotix awarded himself a bumper pay rise while pretending it was still austerity all round
    Approaches are now being made, as a result of today’s bombshell expose and the blundering mess over Probiotix (PBX) to larger shareholders in Optibiotix (OPTI) to gauge support for sacking Neil Davidson as chairman, via a GM if needed. If proof were not needed that the company needs a complete overhaul pf cost control and corporate governance I have been told about the covert pay hike Davidson has awarded himself.

The most listened-to Bearcasts this week were:

  1. Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: a free money idea from Evil Banksta
    In the podcast I discuss gold, Golden Prospect (GPM), Centamin (CEY), Vast Resources (VAST), 80 Mile (80M), Petrofac (PFC) and 2 political bets

  2. Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: libelling me, 'arry Adams and Stuart Ashman
    I start with the exposure of chancellor Rachel Thieves for brazen CV fraud, then those committing silly libel, notably Magna Carta, then it is Boohoo (BOO), Predator Oil and Gas (PRD) and Ariana Resources (AAU) 

  3. Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Liam, plain honesty matters more than strict AIM rules 
    I start with the looming Budget and how Rachel Reeves and crack advisers such as Sharon White of John Lewis infamy just don't get how businesses work. Then a message for Liam Murray, nomad to Optibiotix (OPTI)

  4. Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Ariana to 3.5p by Christmas?
    In today's podcast I look at Red Rock (RRR), Optibiotix (OPTI), Empresaria (EMR), Miriad (MIRI) and Ariana Resources (AAU)

  5. Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: I am very relaxed about it but I cannot do a Kefi article every day!
    I start with the Shipmans, it is 9 AM tomorrow where I hope I learn my fate. The Kefi Gold and Copper (KEFI), Haydale Graphene (HAYD), Boohoo (BOO) and the slob Ashley, Global Petroleum (GBP), Bushveld Minerals (BMN) and Wildcat Petroleum (WCAT). Oh, and there is weekend "incoming" for Brown Envelope Man.

  6. Tom Winnifrith bearcast: before bed my plan B for Optibiotix
    The podcast is about how I would create value at Optibiotix (OPTI)

  7. Tom Winnifrith Bonus bearcast: GOTCHA Optibiotix but its still lying, Skins playing it well
    I am afraid today's fess up from Optibiotix (OPTI) is partial and a lie. Meanwhile Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) is playing a good game

  8. Tom Winnifrith Bonus Bearcast: Will you help us sack David Bramhill at Union Jack said the email
    I read the most recent annual report and the interims and explain why the case for sacking Bramhill is compelling. But then to logistics. That is the problem. 

  9. Tom Winnifrith bonus bearcast: the beer and popcorn continues at Optibiotix, after today's expose Neil Davidson must go NOW!
    The title says it all. Davidson must go now and I explain why I would do a better job at Optibiotix (OPTI) on an interim basis. Today's bombshell expose has got to be the final straw and cannot be covered up.

  10. Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: the Shipman said, Optibiotix goofs again and Au Revoir Malcolm
    I discuss another unforced error by Optibiotix (OPTI), the retirement of Malcolm Stacey and my appointment with the Shipmans at 9 AM to discuss my MRI scan and what comes next

  11. Tom Winnifrith bonus bearcast: Avacta hooks up with Tempus AI, 2 crazy valuations
    Both Avacta (AVCT) and Tempus AI (US:TEM) are on crazy valuations. I discuss that and today's hook up.
