Low grade Death Spiral Provider Bergen: the love that dare not speak its name, now its Simec which has gone all bashful

I revealed on April 2 how Tertiary Minerals (TYM) had ramped its shares by announcing that it had terminated an utterly usurious death spiral with the spivs at Bergen. How the Bulletin Board Morons lapped it up. Tertiary has refinanced with a new entity which er, if you read the small print, turned out to be Bergen and the new package was a death spiral on steroids. Oh boy how the morons had to lube up for that spoof.

Not all "death spirals" are the same - Angus Energy Bergen Deal is truly awful

I have made the point before but do so again that not all death spirals - or alternative structured financings or whatever the MBA phrase is - are the same. Some can actually help the share price. Some really shaft shareholders royally. All are created in a way where the provider cannot lose but some are just usurious. Why, for instance, has Angus Energy (ANGS) agreed to a deal this week with Bergen which ensures that its investors will get so utterly rogered that no amount of lube can ease the pain.

African Potash shares crash - next stop 0.3p as exercised warrants are dumped, then onto 0p

Death spiral providers Bergen are vultures. They are not nice folks. They are not long term investors. But they are not dumb either. They know that shares in African Potash (AFPO) are set to crash and so today Bergen has exercised 63.7 million warrants at 0.3p under some old deal it had. Oh dear. The shares will be admitted to trading on Wednesday but Bergen won't be waiting for then. Oh no.
