The ex ShareSoc supremo, succeeding he who shall not be named, was, you may remember, a big fan of this stock at c5p insisting that it was not going to have to issue shares again on the basis of a research report by the esteemed house of Goldman Sachs, ooops I meant Turner Pope. Well quelle fecking surprise….

Zephyr (ZPHR), as I have noted many times, is the sort of stockmarket heroin addict which just needs fix after fix of new cash inflows. If it can’t get a placing away it does a “bridging loan”. Then it runs out of cash again and needs another placing. In November it boasted “while the current drilling programme remains amply funded through c.US$18.5 million of liquidity available as of 10 Nov 2022, projected medium term cash flows still appear sufficient to support exploitation of its existing inventory.” Now all the money’s gone and its placing time. Again.

In the bad old days ShareSoc was run by a fellow who read about a German short seller planting a bomb and concluded that this was a sign of the desperate measures we bears might undertake to satisfy our vile greed. Bears bad – Globo good. These days Cliff Weight is in charge and he is far more enlightened and based on a 2021 portfolio he ran , we have a new prize contest ( prize 500 ml of Greek Hovel 2023 olive oil). Readers SIX OF THE BEST means a portfolio of SIX NOT FIVE, HINT IS IN TITLE!

In today’s Bearcast I make you a great offer on olive harvesting then discuss Cineworld (CINE), MGC Pharmaceuticals (MXC), Versarien (VRS) and Zephyr Energy (ZPHR), please don’t take offence Cliff as ShareSoc is so much better under your watch than in the bad old days of you know whom! Finally I discuss my knee, my next training walk to the newly famous Marford and back, and ask you to consider donating to Rogue Bloggers for Woodlarks HERE

I start on my health which seems to be improving. I then cover Nightcap (NGHT) – with another shocking expose – Cineworld (CINE), Eurasia Mining (EUA), the fraud Supply@ME Capital (SYME) and Zephyr Energy (ZPHR) where I reckon I have won my bet with the ShareSoc BSD. I offer him another bet of a similar nature.

The last stated NAV of Asimilar (ASLR ) was 25p per share. We knew it had taken one hit (AAA) but still the NAV should have been c20p (ho ho ho). On Wednesday its shares plunged by 32% to sub 4p begging me to ask this question.

I start by referencing a podcast on public schools HERE and saying why I am at a funeral today. Gone are the days when the BSD at ShareSoc offered to help out those chaps at Globo (GBO) get the show back on the road. In new hands there is a suggestion of odd share dealings at N4 Pharma (N4P). I look at that and then the fundamental case against this stock. I also look at Parsley Box (MEAL) and CEO spoofing and at Eco Atlantic (ECO) and the dangers of punting on an E&P play ahead of a well.

My youngest daughter believes that Peppa Pig is a work of literary genius. Her big sister Olaf believes in man made global warming. Joshua believes in Father Christmas and I have some belief about what woould be good for Cheryl Cole. Meanwhile, Cliff Weight of Sharesoc and our in house BB messiah PL believe in the utility of broker research. I bring you three notres on Made.com (MADE), floated at 200p last June and shares in which are now c1p.

I shall serve up a more detailed comment on the piss poor full year numbers from Eurasia Mining (EUA) later but it is worth flagging up for Cliff Weight, the laudable ShareSoc supremo, and others the matter of the paid for research published on Eurasia by ACF Research in February 2020.

I am not suggesting anything inappropriate just making an analogy as I discuss Zephyr Energy (ZPHR). I then discuss Optibiotix (OPTI) and a chat with Steve O’Hara. If you want to spend a day with Steve over all day drink and home produced Welsh food you can of course do so HERE where, I am happy to say, that almost a third of the seats are already booked out. Then it is onto Oxford Biodynamics (OBD) and Shield Therapeutics (STX) – will its placing be at 5p or not at all?. Then onto Pennon (PNN), sewage and Feargal Sharkey. Finally Abingdon Diagnostics (ABDX) where good news today has seen the shares rocket but that only postpones the next bailout placing ( or death) until Advent.

Cliff admits he will lose, so has decently added £5 to his Rogue Bloggers for Woodlarks donation. Why not join him? Leave the 96% of listeners yet to donate, and chip in today, HERE. The bet is on Zephyr Energy (ZPHR), where Cliff is long (and wrong). I offer him the chance to double up with a bet on Wildcat Petroleum (WCAT), following its bonkers RNS yesterday. But I think he is too smart to take that. I also look at Versarien (VRS), Eden Research (EDEN), Kefi (KEFI), and Amur Minerals (AMC), on a day of water triumph at the Greek Hovel. How I wish I was there.

Will Joshua ever make it back to school? There appear to be suggestions that Wales’s bone idle teachers will postpone his education in why white privilege makes him an automatic victim by yet another day. In the podcast I discuss why Cliff Weight is wrong about share options, the Chill Brands (CHLL) spoof and then took a detailed look at AIM China play Univison Limited (UVEL) which looks tome to be a zero. Have you looked at what this loss making indebted POS spunked £949,000 on during the first half? In signing off on interims,Nomad Spark Advisory is ‘avin’ a bubble.

Now that ShareSoc is no long run by he who cannot be named it is, on occassion, sounding almost half sensible. Like my colleague Nigel Somerville, it has been sticking it to the disgraced Edge VCT (EDGI) and in that vein Cliff Weight has written to the Financial Reporting Council, FRC, asking it to intervene. It would not be the first regulator I’d think of in such circumstances but it all helps and Cliff pulls no punches in his letter which is below.

Happy Bastille Day to our listeners in France. Here another day of swimming and cooking for guests. In today’s podcast, I look at Verditek (VDTK) and the latest missive from Gollum, the investment whores at Proactive, the fraud Supply@ME Capital (SYME) & its death spiral and finally more thoughts on today’s Winnileaks special on MC Saatchi and what it says about the useless FCA when it comes to tackling white-collar crime. Finally a few words with Cliff Weight of ShareSoc re Financial Promotions.

I thought that ShareSoc, having ceased taking direction from he who shall not be named, had at last recognised the great job shorters do in exposing frauds and overpromotes. But it seems not. Cliff Weight, a self-confessed shareholder in Burford (BUR), today makes a number of valid points on Neil Woodford’s comeback while still not admitting that ShareSoc is backing a laggardly and non battle-hardened legal claim for Neil’s victims. But it is on Burford where ShareSoc lets its mask slip. Cliff says of the FCA:

This is for Cliff weight of ShareSoc. I discuss incidents in my life on Fleet Street showing the corrupt nexus between financial PRs and the press in action. I hope you all find it amusing as informative and relates to this fight I got into earlier today. Then it is onto Brokerman Dan who is a visionary analyst of health stocks, notably MyHealthChecked (MHC) as PL and I are agreed. Finally Zoetic (ZOE) has been exposed by an RNS today from Path Investments (PATH) which is damning. Its implications are clear, Zoetic is now mortally wounded; however, its evil PR spinners tried turd polishing earlier today.

A very pleasant email arrives today from Cliff Weight at ShareSoc. I discuss the Damascene conversion of his organisation since the era of he who shall not be named on the matter of shorters and shorting.

Last night, as we reported at the time HERE, shareholders in Sirius Minerals (SXX) gave an almighty feck you to folks like the ShareSoc suits and pompous Crispin Odey and backed the 5.5p per share bid from Anglo American. Before the meeting ShareSoc’s Cliff Weight was on twitter and going full on crony capitalist.

Just now and again ShareSoc is bang on the money. Today Cliff Weight, always the voice of reason at ShareSoc, has laid into the culture of paying off executives who have failed with large golden goodbyes and warm words about parting by mutual agreement. The bosses at Tullow failed, have destroyed shareholder value and should have been fired in disgrace. Cliff writes
