Who do I, as a West Ham diehard, support if our arch rivals Millwall play our other arch rivals the dirtbags at Spurs? It is a really hard call. I’d want both to lose. I am not quite at that point when it comes to the boardroom battle at wretched Zak Mir’s Lift Global Ventures (LFT). I think everyone knows that I am no fan of Mir or his proposed chairman Howard White of Hydrogen Utopia (HUI) infamy or of Zak’s ghastly sister from Shares Magazine who sent me such a horrible letter. But on the other hand …

Sundae Bar (SBAR) joined the AIM Casino as an AI play on June 3rd 2025 c/o London’s worst Nomad Roland “fatty” Cornish. I warned at the time that its valuation at 8p was a laughable spoof as you would expect from an offering from the Bixby Edwards gang. Within a month it had tried and failed to jump on board the bitcoin in treasury bandwagon. Today the shares languish at 4.6p but that still values this crock at £20 million. The issue for CEO Jill Kenney is SMTM! Or lack of it!

I start on AI and job losses. Then I look at 2 companies with big news today: both begin with V, both will end in tears and both have been promoted for reasons one can only guess at by brown envelope man, I refer to Victoria (VCP) and Valereum (VLRM).

Francis Hunt, the Market Sniper, argues that we are only in the early stages of a precious metals bull market, with gold, silver, and particularly platinum presenting substantial investment opportunities. He emphasizes the scarcity of these metals, especially platinum, which he sees as dramatically undervalued compared to its rarity.

It is currently the bitcoin bubble that seems to be bursting, the AI bubble was flagged up by Lucian here last week, it is deflating too. You may find it easier to short the big US AI plays such as Nvidia, but if you are looking for a UK short here is one where my pal Evil Banksta is short and where I see the shares falling by at least 75% if not more.

I look at 3 scandals the FCA is disgracing itself with: Quantum Energy (MAST), 80 Mile (80M), Georgina Energy (GEX) and then at Argo Blockchain (ARB), Lucian's shorting watchlist and Medpal AI (MPAL)

Lucian Miers wrote about this the other day and with AI hype at least partly responsible for the equities market bounce since the first Trump tariff sell off, it is surely a concern for us all. Now, with a look back to parallels with the dotcom boom and bust, Lucian flags up a video for your pleasure.

The insolvent US fraud run by Alessandro Zamboni, Nuburu (US:BURU) has seen its shares go ballistic in response to its proposed purchase of Orbit S.r.l formerly known as IAF2 S.r.l a company “specialising in digitilizing operational resilience solutions for mission critical corporations”.

As I see it, you have two options: either to believe the laws of gravity have been suspended, or to accept that gold and other precious metals exist within an entirely new paradigm. Simply claiming that the markets are massively overpriced and will return to “normal” marks you as a dinosaur who has yet to understand that fundamental changes have occurred.

You really could not make this up. There is no word today on the much delayed repayment of three quarters of a Bernie plus interest from hugely insolvent Trans African Energy. The cheque from Africa has not arrived. So it looks as if Mir has spaffed the bulk of Lift’s balance sheet and his chairman Roy Kelly, who also sits on the Trans board, has walked the plank. From bad to worse. His replacement is a proven rogue, scoundrel and all right wrong ’un Dave Richards MBE of Wandisco (WAND) infamy.

Mr Market doesn’t always price investments reflecting their true fair value and thus we see Bitcoin in Treasury companies trading at multiples of their underlying net asset value of cash and bitcoin holdings even though Bitcoin is very easy asset to value where no judgement is required.

I am not blaming my pal the Lemming before the sensitive little fellow complains. He has done nothing wrong and indeed everything right in reporting what the bearded and grossly overpaid Geordie poltroon Stuart Ashman at Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) has said to him. But surely Ashman is breaking AIM Rule 10.

I supposed if you are advised by the morally bankrupt, journalist smearing PR mothers at Yellow Jersey you have some excuse for putting out such a daft release. But even so, the patsy for the Bixby/Edwards gang at Sundae Bar (SBAR), CEO Jill Kenny must take her shareholders for fools. In that, at least, she is, right.

I flagged up that the AIM listing of Sundae Bar (SBAR) was a complete rum ‘n’; coke with an absurd valuation almost as soon as it hit the markets c/o of London’s worst Nomad Roland “fatty” Cornish HERE.

Everything with even a whiff of AI is flying. But most of the companies that say they will be AI plays are talking the talk rather than actually walking the walk. Talk is cheap. Anyone can do it. Walking is harder. LunglifeAI (LLAI) listed on the AIM sewer on July 2 2021 saying that it was “a developer of clinical diagnostic solutions for lung cancer enhanced by AI.” It raised £17 million on listing at 176p.

A couple of years ago Bixby and his business buddy Mike Edwards were floating all things cannabis. Then the pot bubble burst and it was NFTs having dabbled into the bitcoin space before that bubble burst. Now, of course, it is AI and today we have another spoof. Those involved in enabling this sort of bollocks, should be ashamed.

Over the past three days, newly appointed executive director Mike Edwards has bought 8 million shares in Cellular Goods (CBX). His name is the contact on RNS he is calling the shots. Today he has announced a, laughable change of name and strategy. Just how on earth can this not be insider dealing. Do not tell me that this was all dreamt up yesterday afternoon, Edwards traded on specific price sensitive information.

The blockchain to NFT to AI to whatever bandwagon is next entity run by ex ADVFN boss Clem Chambers with well remunerated help from his sons, that is Online Blockchain (OBC), must surely be running on vapours. Finally it seems that investors are waking up to the lifestyle joke that this is. Gone are the days when the shares were pumped by Clem’s pals allowing a placing at 100p. The shares are now just 13p.

It is only a couple of years since Online PLC became Online Blockchain (OBC). But blockchain is so old hat. Then there was the NFT spoof ( Rocky Horror division). What happened there? Er… So a new “angle” is needed. Today Clem Chambers jumped on the AI bandwagon with Synthia, a total spoof. Surely it is time to change the name again?

Most journalists worry that Artificial Intelligence, AI, will in due course threaten their jobs.
