Incoming: Yet more questions for Ric Traynor and Begbies Traynor!

Last week I wrote to AIM listed insolvency practitioners – Begbies Traynor Group (BTG) about serious concerns and need for answers to questions on the lack of full and complete disclosure on Related Party Transactions.  It answered but as I revealed today Ric now has another real question to answer ahead of the AGM tomorrow. While he po0nders that one…it gets worse.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Profound thanks to crony capitalist PR man Reg Hoare but sorry only 5 out of 10

I am grateful to Reg Hoare for prompting Begbies Traynor (BEG) to answer my questions and so save me from having to go to Manchester. But its response gets only 5 out of 10 and leaves me unconvinced. I look at Sirius Minerals (SXX) where things will only get more grim up North. I cover St James House (SJH) and also Watchstone (WTG), where I give credit where credit is due.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast - Begbies Traynor on Brexit - a worse data abuser than Ed Croft ( well almost)

For the last time I laugh at Ed Croft's joke system at Stockopedia which rates Quindell a storming buy after it is exposed as a fraud and Globo a buy but slates, for instance, Learning Technologies (LTG) - did you see its news today Ed? Then I look at the Begbies Traynor (BEG) red flag report which is remoaners treat and an even bigger abuser of data analysis than Quindell cheerleader Ed Croft. I also cover my pike fishing exploits and Online Blockchain (OBC) - now more than 50% below its placing price and 75% off its year high.

Begbies Traynor - Not Really trained in logic when it comes to Brexit are we chaps?

My father would suggest that those who run insolvency firm Begbies Traynor (BEG) really are not scholars and gentlemen when it comes to their latest pronouncement on Brexit and how UK firms are struggling. I am kinder so shall leave it with an observation that, unlike my father, myself and David Cameron, the Begbies fellows probably did not study logic at Oxford.
