The news broken HERE yesterday that the 79th Group appears to have been a scam might not have been such a surprise if the dubious quality advisers who persuaded their clients to lend them money if the advisers or their investees had done some research. The first major red flag is that 79th Grp isn’t registered with the UK regulator, the FCA. So it was conducting unauthorised investment business. How the feck did the FCA then approve a prospectus allowing to to seize control of First Class Metals (FCM). It gets worse.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast No 1: First Class Metals now a near zero, this scandal is appalling, naming names

I will shortly be publishing a piece on the accounts of mini bond fraudsters 79th Group, now the subject of a Police investigation with arrests made. It now owns 50% of First Class Metals (FCM) and its boss is First's new chairman, appointed after the arrests were made public. I name the names of those who have fecked it up, the crooks and explain why First is now toast.

Hence an RNS is needed asap and the shares could be suspended pending clarification at any time. Read the guidance below: what do you think?

There is an awful lot of talk about EBITDA in today’s interim results from Petra Diamonds (PDL) and that, on its own, should be a red flag. But there are many other warning signs too. Well done Lucian Miers for urging folks to add to shorts ahead of the numbers, the shares are down another 16% today to 24.2p but that is still far too high. Arguably by 24.2p.

As part of its commitment to showing how absolutely fecking diverse it was as it turned a £36 million war chest into a £25 million black hole in just seven years, RBG Holdings (RBGP) had, at one stage, a female CEO, and now has a female chairperson and until today, a senior female NED Patsy Baker. With so many birds in charge it is shocking that the company did not do better as we are always hectored, diversity = success.

The UK becomes more of a joke by the day: Department for Business and Trade accounts are qualified

I was chatting to a lefty liberal arts Professor the other day who insisted that the idea that the UK was viewed overseas as a sick and declining nation was merely a far right fantasy. The Pakistani rape gangs scandal was a figment if the imagination of the Daily Mail and the only folks talking about it were extremist right wingers. I disagreed on the rape gangs, thereby falling into his trap and, in his view, thus admitting that I was a Fascist. I compounded my sins by saying that the slumping FTSE 250 and Sterling and that Gilts being at a 30 year high suggested hard money thought Britain was doomed. Today comes another damning blow.

This is not about the Pindus mountains but a suggestion of some of the radical measures Rachel from Customer Services could take to start to balance the books and also to drive economic growth. The chances of her doing any of them are zero. I forgot to add in that she should announce measures to progressively increase the pension age over, say, 40 years, from 67 to life expectancy, 81, so as to stop it being a ponzi. Again there is no chance of that happening.

However much the Church of England or Church of Wales infuriates me and tests my faith I have always attended Midnight Mass at Christmas. “Yea Lord we Greet You born this happy morning” I sing loudly and walk out into the cold night air filled with optimism and with my weak faith replenished. Gradually my own failings and the miserable state of the world weaken all those positive feelings and then it is Christmas again. This year I did not leave after the last carol I stormed out and I hope that our sparky new vicar understands why.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Do not assume that everything will stay the same in 2025

I start with some macro thoughts on big defence, big pharma and UK retail plus the fate of Rachel from Customer Services, something Maggie Belgrano speculates about in today's Mail. Then a quick look at Tiger Royalties (TIR), Atlas Metals (AMG) and the antics of disgraced James Parsons at ascent Resources (AST). Finally it's not Happy Winterfest it's Merry Christmas from me to all listeners and their families.

All Active Asset Capital Limited - barely alive after losing most of value to a Robert Bonnier backed company

Folks cannot say that I did not warn them about this disaster. To much abuse I warned repeatedly and it seems that old TW is not a total idiot after all and that there will be no escape from poverty for those who knew better.

Zak Mir’s Christmas Carol, a new version: Part 2

One of the joys of Christmas TV is that we get various versions of the Christmas Carol story each with its own merits. And in that spirit this year’s Christmas Carol on ShareProphets is also a remake of one from a few years ago. Part 2 of this year’s carol is almost underway. Part One can be found HERE ‘twas the night before Christmas…

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Petrofac shows why short sellers are so needed

I start with Caracal Gold (GCAT) and the shame of the FCA and of Andrew Monk. Then it is Petrofac (PFC), Hummigbird (HUM) and Argo Blockchain (ARB). Finally enter Nigel's contest before midnight HERE

Petrofac shares slump to 8.5p on restructuring, Evil Banksta says worth 1.5p

The cost of borrow went to 500% and Evil Banksta had to close out a profitable short some months ago. So his Christmas swans are not being financed by Petrofac (PFC) but I am sure that Adam Reynolds will ride to the rescue of Liverpool’s greatest numbers man since Ken Dodd. Still, a refinancing today shows that, as ever, Evil Banksta was right and has good reason to be smug and conceited.

GOTCHA! Andrew Monk – Caracal admits it is almost game over, shame on you!

I demonstrated very clearly that Robbie McCrae and Caracal Gold (GCAT) had deceived investors by withholding bad news and engaged in share transfers under this stealth cloak. The company should have been delisted but adviser Andrew Monk did a Tammy Wynette and stood by his man. Shame on you Monk for today it looks as if the game is up.

Tom Winnifrith bearcast: Who benefitted from the Pennpetro FRAUD? One for the FCA

I start by explaining risk capital vs options and why buying any share is always a risk. This is for the demented Lemming. Then it is onto Frisby's video, Nigel's contest you must enter HERE and finally the questions the FCA must ask about the Pennpetro (PPP) fraud.

Video: Frisby at his brilliant best, short the UK and Europe, long USA and Argentina, libertarianism works, socialism fails

This is not a song it is well argued fact and ignore it at your peril. Argentina shows that we libertarians are right. The UK and Europe head in a different direction and we will all suffer. My friend Dominic Frisby explains it clearly, I suspect the millionaire selling all his sterling assets to whom he refers is Jim Mellon. Enjoy.

Has Adam Reynolds got one more present from Belluscura for Evil Banksta before Christmas?

Evil Banksta keeps sending me pictures of the enormous City Christmas lunches which he attends on a daily basis. At this rate his girth will soon be surpassing that of London’s worst Nomad, Roland “fatty” Cornish. But will his New Year fine dining be subsidized, yet again, by Adam Reynolds and Belluscura (BELL), the gift that never stops giving to short sellers?

A Christmas winner from Dominic Frisby – Right Wing Woman

The word on the street is that Father Christmas has a stocking gift for myself from the Dominic Frisby store as a reward for being so good this year. Meanwhile the great man has a new song out which is superb although, for some reason, the Mrs. is not a fan! Enjoy.

Video: Disgraced Neil Woodford puts his side of the Woodford collapse, talking complete shit

The interviewer offers one of the greatest blow jobs in stockmarket history. This is a hoot. He and Neil Woodford agree that the disgraced fund manager is a man of supreme talent and integrity who has been treated unfairly. Apparently the collapse of Woodford’s funds was all down to unfair press comment. Whatever. And there was I thinking that while this website exposed Woodford from 2015 with more than 1000 videos, podcasts and articles, the Mail, FT, Sunday Times and the rest of the MSM were kissing his arse almost to the end. If you have 90 minutes to spare this is a hoot from a parallel universe. Enjoy..

Victrex – after recent results, an income and recovery value Buy...

Polymers company Victrex (VCT) has recently announced results for its year ended 30th September 2024, helping the shares rise to above 1100p, but still comparing to above 1500p at the start of 2024 and above 2500p in 2021. However, the results also included some indications that there could be further share price recovery potential from here and that’s with a strong balance sheet and above 5% dividend yield to boot.

In Black and white: Rachel from customer services puts folks on the dole

A profits warning from Shoe Zone (SHOE) will be gutting for shareholders as the stock is off by 44% at just 80p. Steve called this correctly and is justifiably smug today. The real losers are staff who will be losing their jobs just in time for Christmas and the company does not pull its punches: the finger of blame is rightly pointed at Rachel from Customer Services. One again “Labour is not working”.

Supply@Me Capital - the Eight Capital loan repayment mystery, the plot thickens and the FCA are just useless

In yesterday’s RNS, the insolvent fraud Supply@ME Capital (SYME) stated under related parties that “as of today, The AvantGarde Group S.p.A (an entity beneficially wholly owned and controlled by Alessandro Zamboni, Chief Executive Officer of the Company) (TAG) has, along with a number of other investors, a non controlling interest in SFE.”

Conygar: Mr Market just does not believe you or in commercial property

Shares in property investor Conygar (CIC) have dived by 15% today to just 49p after some pretty shoddy results. But the company wants you to believe that its NAV of 103p per share at the September 30 year end is real and that things are going to get better. Mr. market clearly does not believe it. And must be worried about the high level of gearing too.

Hemogenyx and that share consolidation to attract institutional investors: how’s it going?

Since exposing its pig and pork scam a few months ago HERE, Hemogenyx (HEMO) has been very much on my radar. It is a classic biotech promote which could not cure ham let alone any disease. Even at today’s 320p, a market cap of c£11 million is a gross overvaluation of a company that will be gigging with the Fat Lady within weeks if it cannot place and which, after years of spoofing, has made SFA clinical progress.

Supply@ME Capital dismal trading update: this is a zero

Today’s business update from the technically insolvent fraud Supply@ME Capital (SYME) fails to provide an update on two of the most critical elements namely its current cash position and an update on working capital loans from the The AvantGarde Group, owned by Alessandro Zamboni and what it has paid to supply in last 3 months since interim accounts were published. Those are the massive red flags.
