On the day gold hits $4,000 I discuss where next. Then with news from Ariana (AAU) and Hamak (HAMA) I explain the import of what they say after checking in with an old friend.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: After the Anglo news should we sell mining shares

I discuss the Anglo Mining(AAL)/Teck merger, the gold price and Nigel's idea of top slicing his mining shares. I mention en passant: Golden Prospect (GPM), Amaroq (AMRQ), Kefi (Kefi), Bluebird Mining (BMV) and Ariana (AAU). I also say sorry on Invinity Energy (IES) but we will revisit it as a short when it next runs out of cash in later 2026

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: What do Steve O'Hara and Dave Lenigas have in common?

Yes, both insisted that a dual listing of their shares on the OTCQB would improve liquidity and attract US investors. So how many shares in London Bitcoin Company (BTC) and Optibiotix (OPTI) traded in the US yesterday? I discuss this, Ariana (AAU) and the failings of the FCA on World Chess (CHSS) and Roquefort (ROQ). I start with an important message for Sharestock attendees and a rant about Bank Holidays.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast No 2: is w*nker a rude word in America? asking for a Satsuma owning moron

I start with Greek news (good) and then agreeing with Brian Basham, champagne socialist of the year 2002-25, on the latest madness of Rachael from Customer Services on mortgages and cash ISAs. Then Ariana (AAU), Satsuma (SATS), Cirata (CRTA) and Sosandar (SOS)

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast No 2: picking a fight with Tim Kempster

I'm not really picking a fight with the short seller as he is basically a good chap but he has tweeted on Optibiotix (OPT) and Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) and he has, I think, got his facts wrong. For someone who may have an undeclared short position, that is perhaps unwise. I have swapped emails with at one CEO. If the other gets back to me I shall let you know but he is a bearded poltroon so many not.. I am also rowing with our in-house BB savant PL on NPVs ref Ariana (AAU). I cover Celadon (CEL) and revise my sordid price targets for Wishbone (WSBN) after news of a placing. I fear that the brothers in bromance, Richard Poulden and David Lenigas, are losing their ramping touch.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: slippery Steve O'Hara, the question he will not answer as he tries to buy off a replacement chairman

I start with the latest on Optibiotix (OPTI) where Steve O'Hara has tried to buy off my suggested replacement chairman and the question he will not answer about the scumbag US investor. Then it is Ariana (AAU), Jubilee Metals (JLP), Sundae Bar (SBAR) and Tern (TERN).. I start with the ludicrous demands of the IRA, oops sorry I meant Sinn Fein, to honour a man who helped the Germans in WW1 with your taxes. I bet they get their way.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast No 1: Ariana & Tavsan, Nigel Farage and bitcoin & other bandwagons, crypto and gold

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast No 1: It's more about the weak dollar than strong gold

I comment on the £50m AIM Company Argentex (AGFX) shares in which were suspended today. It blames Donald Trump and it is the weak dollar rather than strong gold that is the real story today. I mention a few companies on the gold theme, notably Greatland (GGP) and Ariana (AAU).

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: so Nigel where would you put your Amaroq winnings you spiv?

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: a reader says I am too cautious on gold so should I bank profits in Ashanti and switch into Amaroq?

Are there really 19 million Brits travelling today as my mum's cousins tell me? If so the journey back to Wales could be frightful. Then onto gold and why its actually not at an all time high and should go higher. In light on that I review all the gold stocks I own and ponder selling Anglo Gold aAshanti (US:AU) my best performer this year and buying more Amaroq (AMRQ) or maybe Ariana (AAU). Then it is Tern (TERN) and finally the woes of running Celadon (CEL) and Versarien (VRS) into the ground, of fobbing off creditors and not being able to look staff in the eye. I also flag up the 8 share tips coming to you this long weekend.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: If only there'd been a technical analyst on board to warn folks about a 95% share price collapse

That silly woman from Shares Magazine probably thinks it is racist to make that Zak Mir/Lift Global Ventures (LFT) joke again but it is good enough as the shares plunge to a new low to make it yet again. But seriously folks, I ten turn to Marechale Capital (MAC), the upper class twit of the year 2012-24 and Weardale Lithium, Ariana (AAU),.First Class Metals (FCM), Cirata (CRTA) and Aston Martin (AML)(, both of which are still shorts. I also look at gold stocks as gold hits a new high of $3,123 oz.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast No 2: reputations built over many years can be destroyed in weeks and months, ref Ariana and Probiotix

I cover two more aspects of the Ariana (AAU) placing, I share Nigel's fury. I touch on Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) being very naughty with information leak which will enrage its lying scumbag Nomad Giles Bellend. I look at Distil (DIS), CMO (CMO) and Genflow (GENF) whose RNS is surely a spoof and at Probiotix (PBX)

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast No1: reviewing my gold portfolio, a mixed bag but I am very much ahead

Like Nigel yesterday I accept my portfolio is a mixed bag. But with the least important gold stocks doing the worst and the largest holdings doing the best I am well ahead overall. In this podcast I discuss: Amaroq (AMRQ), Ariana (AAU), Bluebird Mining Ventures (BMN), Anglo Gold Ashanti (US:AU), red Rock Resources (RRR), Wishbone (WSBN) and Golden Prospect Precious Metals (GPM). I state the bleeding obvious about a company I no longer write about but where I own shares, for the CEOs of Ariana and Amaroq I suggest corporate actions to drive a re-rate..

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast No2: Is Ariana at £35 million really worth more than $300 million?

This is a claim made in a video this week HERE. I discuss NPVs, assumptions, valuations, broker notes and where I see the shares going as gold powers on. But also what that paid for interview does not address an that matters.

Video: Ariana interview and claims it is worth $300 million plus as gold touches $3000 briefly

I have recorded a separate bearcast to discuss this remarkable claim that Ariana (AAU), capitalised at £35 million is worth $300 million and what this blow job paid for interview did not cover HERE. They appear in different articles so as not to confuse sound streams.

I start on the Yemen and why Malcolm is almost sackably wrong on all counts, I look at oil prices and what is really driving them ( hint, look at Darren’s photo from his window today) and at gold prices and a few gold stocks I own including Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI), Ariana (AAU) and my biggest holding, Amaroq (AMRQ)

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: my gold stocks have 3 years to deliver but some are not in danger

In today’s bearcast I discuss what the BBC won’t be, yet more rain here in Greece. Then it is onto gold and my boredom. I discuss Ariana (AAU), Centamin (CEY), Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) – where I have swapped emails with ‘arry this weekend -, Amaroq (AMRQ) and Jubilee Metals (JLP).And yes there are now just 4 of 100 seats left for ShareStock.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: what to think about 3 gold miners? Has the curse of Chris Cleverly struck again?

Today I look at Conroy Gold & Natural Resources (CGNR), Ariana (AAU) and Bluebird Merchant Ventures (BMV). Then at Pantheon Resources (PANR) and at ADVFN (AFN). Finally Evil Banksta has sent me this Bulletin Board post below on Technology Minerals (TMI). I have always been bearish on this stock as any company in any way linked to Chris Cleverly is always a dog with fleas. The post below looks to be kosher, thought it may not be, so, I suspect, does not alter the bear case and my target remains 0p.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: the argument for not selling rubbish like Red Rock and Wishbone

I start off with why the Times‘ demands for a Sheriff of Tipsters smacks of glass houses and throwing stones. Has its own tipster declared all conflict of interests. Then onto gold, looking at my portfolio and why I have not sold Red Rock (RRR) and Wishbone Gold (WSBN) yet despite my grave governance reservations and their failure to monetise assets whose quality I start to doubt. So why not sell and reinvest in a higher quality play I own like Centamin (CEY), Ariana (AAU) or even Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI). One reason was the illness that laid me so low I just forgot. But there are others which I explain in the podcast, my second of the day after this photo/podcast from Lake Vyrnwy which has given me great pleasure.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: falling out with three old friends edition

Maybe I have fallen out with these folks already: Colin Bird, Richard Poulden, and Andrew Bell. But after this podcast I sure will have done so. I own shares in two companies mentioned. It is my intent to cut my losses when back at my desk in Wales next week and to reinvest the little cash that comes in, in a boring gold play with a dividend which will not be passing the begging bowl around numerous times next year. I think probably I shall buy a few more Ariana (AAU). The three companies that I slate today are Red Rock Resources (RRR), Tiger Royalties (TIR) and Wishbone Gold (WSBN)

Tom Winnifrith bearcast: is journalist Bethany Garner of Forbes bent or just incredibly stupid?

I start with Kanabo (KNB), Oxford Cannibanoid (OTCP) and Cellular Goods (CBX). Who on earth would write them up as the three pot stocks to buy. They are all utter dogs facing looming cash crises. Meet Bethany Garner. I then discuss Victoria (VCP) after this bombshell. Then  Gary’s death wish, not as a Euroloon, but in considering buying Revolution Beauty (REVB). Then Ariana (AAU) and why its shares continue to drift.  I start with news of a last minute cancellation here in Greece. If you fancy a last minute luxury break drop me an email. Anyhow it means a more leisurely drive back for me starting, I think, on Monday.

There are photos on my site but it is getting a bit nerve wracking. I look at crypto and answer questions from reader Guy as to whether it is a bubble. I discuss the ethics of Matt Earl closing most of his Civitas Social Housing (CSH) short and I admit again to being bored by Ariana (AAU) while others are bored by Optibiotix (OPTI) but is that a reason to sell?

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast - the 3 reasons Matt Hancock should have resigned this morning whatever his job

I start with l’affaire Hancock and what it says about standards in public life, whether politics or the corporate world in Britain today. For three reasons, not including the fact that he is useless or the act of infidelity, he should be fired. He will not be. I then consider late results with reference to Ariana (AAU) and the fraud Supply@ME Capital (SYME) which is now – perhaps – just three working days from slipping down the plughole leading to the sewer of insolvency.

Those two sections cover Ariana (AAU) and Remote Monitored Systems (RMS). I also look at MyHealthChecked (MHC) and at Catenae (CTEA).

Then I ask if Luke Johnson or I am more sociable and what this means about folks stopping working from home. Then onto gold stocks in general, Hummingbird (HUM), Kefi (KEFI), Red Rock Resources (RRR) and Ariana (AAU). I look at Amigo (AMGO) , Attis Oil (AOGL) and finally why today’s shocking Versarien (VRS) expose really could indicate a major scandal. Footnote:

I discuss this ethical question as my brother in law salivates at the idea of picking up a gun and heading off to fight the invading Infidels.  Should I sell Ariana (AAU) or not? I look at wider gold issues. I cover Versarien (VRS), ASOS (ASC), the so called economic recovery, and finally Verditek (VFTK) where I am vindicated by today’s fess up but it is not enough of a mea culpa, boardroom heads should be rolling. The stock is, pro tem, uninvestable.

There are breaches of TR1 rules and a lack of transparency on Versarien’s (VRS) cash position. We need clarity, and that clarity will demonstrate why the £5 million UK taxpayer loan is 100% illegal. I move from one dog to two others: Iconic (ICON) and Supply@ME Capital (SYME) before offering some price targets on Ariana (AAU) where I am a very happy shareholder.

I apologise to the FCA over Redcentric (RCN) and offer handy advice to Catenae (CTEA) as the share price goes bonkers.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast 2nd May - why I like gold & why we own what we own

is this is a bullcast? We have 15% of our portfolio in gold becuase we are bearish about shares. Does that make sense? I discuss why you should own some physical gold and then why we own the shares we do, notably Petropavlovsk (POG), Ariana (AAU) and Wishbone (WSBN) but also much smaller amounts of Eurasia (EUA), Bluebird (BMV) and Armadale Capital (ACP)
