Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
The most read non-Tom article this week is The View From The Montana Log-Cabin As Gold Plunges Below $3,900: Panic? Never! by Nigel Somerville at number 14, or number 21 with Bearcasts.
The not so private Valereum (VLRM) Telegram group is a hoot. Natch the morons there think that I am the pantomime villain and am to blame for shares in the company being suspended after Guild became the second advisor to quit in less than a year. But now it gets even more amusing as chairman James Bannon has posted as you can see below.
Writer Josef Schachter says that despite ongoing conflict, crude flows out of the Persian Gulf are running above pre-war levels—Saudi Arabia is even discounting barrels into Asia—yet refined products tell a different story. He says that LNG, sulphur, nitrogen, and fertilizer exports remain constrained, and diesel shortages persist as Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries remove key supply from global markets.
The reason is not what it says about Amaroq (AMRQ) but that I suffer from extreme vertigo. Watch it and you will see what I mean.
According to the deputy business secretary Emma Reynolds I am as an employer not a worker. Having never worked in the private sector she is the sort of person who think I sit around all day counting my money, smoking cigars and watching cats on the internet while those I employ do the real work. As it happens I got home at 4 AM Greek time last night and went straight to work, chasing up an errant employee who had fecked something up . I feel ill and tired and want to go to bed but I most finish the days work, chasing that heroic employee who fecked it up as he snored until 10 am, ensuring bills are paid, producing articles, dealing with a Sharestock issue.
If a listed company, or rather an executive of a listed company, is passing on price sensitive information via a social media chat group so that folks then trade on that information why is that not insider dealing? We know it happened because of the disciplinary notice below, dated October 13.
Crazy Meg Short from Bloomberg should head over to the Valereum (VLRM) Telegram Group where folks are coming to terms with the suspension of its shares. You and I know that advisor Guild quit because of the hard proof of fraud served up by this website and by this fine investigative journalist. But group organiser Barry Kartal has an alternative theory.
Barry, of Sure Valley Ventures is an AI believer and says he will have a small dabble in the Anthropic IPO. But he also says the shares may go down. we discuss that, the mid terms fall out, round tripping of sales, the likely demise of Oracle and whether the bubble is bursting big time. I think you will find this of interest.
Eco Buildings Group (ECOB) has announced “a manufacturing and supply agreement, relating to 60 residential villas at the Lake Gjokaj residential development in Albania”. How significant is this from the group’s valuation at an up to 11p share price in response?
Ariana Resources (AAU) commences its “Quarterly Activities Report Ended 30 Sept 2026” describing itself as “advancing towards gold production at its 100%-owned 1.6 Moz (pre-tax NPV10: US$1.056 billion) Dokwe Gold Project in Zimbabwe” – seemingly in exasperation at a 1.3p share price, £35 million (equating to $47 million) market cap.
So my 10 year old son had a chance to question our local Labour MP. I swear I did not put my boy up to it but he asked:
I start with base rates, oil and gold. I mention Amaroq (AMRQ) then the £1 billion Atlas Metals (AMG) scandal and who should go to jail and then turn to a DOS attack and reveal the winner o the Greek Hovel short contest, thanking all who made a wise choice.
I start with a lucky escape for me, I apologise on the short contest voting as Darren has screwed up again ( another 2 P45s needed). Then it is a Gotcha on Vast Resources (VAST) Eco Buildings (ECOB) and why today's news from Amaroq (AMRQ) makes it a sleep safe 2029 three or four bagger
I start with why tomorrow will be a short day, then the ghastly John Lewis Christmas advert, why companies threatening old TW with legal action are slam dunk shorts and what will happen in the mid terms and what it means.
The bet the ranch short semi finals are postponed for 24 hours thanks to the incompetence of Darren. A P45 should be on the way to him. In this podcast I discuss legal threats from Valereum (VLRM), gold and media madness at the Telegraph looking back at how it treated Uncle Chris Booker
I start with football then move on to Medpal AI (MPAL) and Petra Diamonds (PDL). And now it is off to Cambridge.
I feel rather tired after recording a podcast with Barry Downes but commend it to you. I consider it, inflation and being a mega bear.
I prepare for a bonfire party by discussing my gloom about the UK, why residential property prices are falling and will crash and end with a look at how Nationalisation of three train lines has worked out.
