Cavendish (CAV), then called FinnCap (FCAP), floated on the AIM Casino in December 2018 at 27p. Proforma pre-tax profits in the six months to 31 October 2018 were £4 million and founder and CEO Sam Smith stated she was on a “mission” to tackle an awful City culture of sexism, yadda, yadda, yadda. That woke crusading continues and in calendar 2024 pre-tax profits were just £700,000. The shares are now just 12.5p. Call me a reactionary old dinosaur but the City culture I find repellent is fat cats drawing vast salaries while destroying shareholder value.

I start with the Bara Brith, explaining what it is that Joshua and I have made and why. Photos tomorrow. Then it is onto insurers lie Legal & General (LGEN) as well as banks like NatWest (NWG) and, citing a real expert, I explain why I am increasingly tempted. Then it is onto the death threat for the Lemming Investor. It is to do with Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) and the perp is almost certainly one of those emboldened by Giles Balleny at Cavendish (CAV) who should now be truly ashamed for that. It makes me consider what Britain is becoming and how, if my circumstances were different, I’d be emigrating and will encourage all my kids to do just that.

I start with my video feed, Peter Brailey IT genius (not) and my cat. Then it is Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI), Caracal Gold (GCAT), Bidstack (BIDS) and a real ouzo moment, Regtech Open (FRAUD) and Supply@ME Capital (FRUAD), Cavendish Finance (CAV), Vast Resources (VAST), Zephyr Energy (ZPHR), Nanosynth (NNN), Tintra (TNT), Olaf’s b/f the trainspotter and Ben’s Creek (BEN). For various other reasons I am in a bad mood and my language reflects this. Matthew’s dog and Catriona will love this podcast.
