I start by asking who would pay £5,000 to hear Nick Leeson talk. And they say crime does not pay. Apparently he day trades Avacta (AVCT) which says it all. Then, prompted by Gary’s piece today, I explain why I reckon Ben’s Creek (BEN) is a zero.

Ben’s Creek – a non exhaustive list of 27 red flags, market cap £41m insane, target price still 0p

The previous owners of the assets within Ben’s Creek (BEN) went bust. This is a low grade producer in a cyclical industry and so I fully expect the pattern to repeat itself. The shares are down again today to 11.75p. My target price here is 0p. This company has always been drowning in red flags, I offer you a non-exhaustive list, perhaps readers can add others.

Up the Bens Creek without a paddle

The FCA always tells us, when not lecturing us on climate change or the need of the financial services industry to employ more lesbians of colour, that past performance is no guide to the future. But the thing is that it very often is an excellent guide to the future. And that is one of the reasons why I have always regarded Bens Creek (BEN) as an accident waiting to happen.

Ben’s Creek - yet more cash goes to Adam Wilson and MBU, another red flag vicar?

There are some folks out there who think that Ben’s Creek (BEN) was established to mine coal in America, albeit from an asset which was last economic back in the 1940s and had sent its two previous owners bust. If you are one such believer I have a bridge to sell you.

Ben’s Creek – the stench of Adam Wilson, today’s very belated 'fess up does not bear scrutiny

I have always argued that promote Ben’s Creek (BEN) is uninvestable on the basis that its CEO Adam Wilson of Atlantic Carbon and Daniel Stewart infamy is a scallywag and also that its assets which sent the last owner into bankruptcy were piss poor.  Today comes news of a share transaction that stinks and an explanation that does not wash.
