Today we have news from Audioboom (BOOM) following its FY and Q1 results earlier this week:

PIMFA, another woke gala and it is, again, you who are paying

You would have thought that in these challenging times, PIMFA, the trade body for wealth managers and brokers would be focussed on supporting its members to help their clients.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Even Trustpilot has abandoned the 79th group fraudsters: the moral bankruptcy of James Knowles and Novum

Even Trustpilot (TRST) can see the game us up for the 709th Group fraudsters. You need a heart of stone not to weep at the last review which is below. But First Class Metals (FCM) and Novum do not give a FF about vulnerable old folks cleaned out and dying in misery and poverty thanks to 79th.

Most recently on engineered electronics company TT Electronics (TTG), in February with the shares down to 77.4p I wrote ‘“Update on 2024 Final Results” announcement is actually also a 2025 profit warning!’, concluding with its trading trajectory and delayed results just on the watchlist. The shares most recently closed at 83.2p but now the results announcement and more, and what of the shares currently in response at 75p?

Ah Mr Bond – We Have Been Expecting You

Like the villain in Bond movies, who tells the man licenced to kill that his arrival was expected shortly before he destroys the evil plans of his adversary, markets over the last few days saw the bond market react to Trump’s tariffs. Amid fears of a rout, Donald Trump announced last night that his tariff plans were on hold for ninety days (with the exception of China, who he doubled down on again). The result – everything went up.
