Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: back from the Cheshire fuzz speed course as Kefi flies on a dreadful day for parody account Magna Carta

Words almost fail me on how dire the course was. The only mercy was that I was not asked for my preferred pronouns. After that I look at Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI), Horizonte Minerals (HZM), – where I never crowed, just warned and where Evil Banksta warns you again today, Boston International (BIH) – a scandal in the making I suggest – Metro Bank (MTRO), Regtech Open (RTOP) and on how the regulators show how much they love me for being so clever and such a good citizen, yet again ( Modesty being my middle name)

Metro Bank – Private Equity vulture Carlyle looks under the bonnet and walks: that did not take long

On 4 November Metro Bank (MTRO) said it was in bid talks with private equity group Carlyle and that the private equity vultures had until December 2 to put up or shut up.  Carlyle kicked a few tyres and looked under the bonnet and today it walked. Natch Metro phrased it differently:

I start with the Mrs being phoned by a fraudster. Then it is a natural move to Elon Musk and bitcoin before going onto the Million Morons on Reddit and a damp squib with Metro Bank (MTRO).

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Surely Cineworld has to be a great short, the key is the balance sheet

I start with Joshua’s Advent calendar and my great uncle the jail bird and end with Christmas news from the Welsh hovel which shows how fecking green I am.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Metro did not throw the kitchen sink at anything!

I end with a view from my office photo just to annoy Graham Neary. I also comment on the latest bonkers ideas from Boris about how to cripple the economy. Those are relevant as I discuss the assumptions made by Metro Bank (MTRO) and its Godawful results. Who is it trying to kid? It has certainly not thrown in the kitchen sink in terms of provisioning. There is far worse to come when the banking crisis really gets going. I discuss gold and ask those with a knowledge of cocaine to help Lucian out with a new valuation metric. I look at Centamin (CEY) and am not persuaded there is a new normal to justify a sub 4% prospective yield.

After yesterday’s bombshell I understand Elecosoft (ELCO) has threatened legals. This, as I explain, is a sure fire sell signal. I discuss Intu (INTU) – ouzo time for me – and the forthcoming banking crisis ahead of which Metro Bank (MTRO) is one sure fire short. And I look at Tomco (TOM) urging it to come clean on its true financial position.

The content really is amazing and you can still get a ticket HERE Then, prompted by Gary Newman boasting about how he is the new Jamie Oliver, I discuss whether consumer behaviour really will change for good. Finally I look at secondary banks, bent journalism, Metro Bank (MTRO) and bid speculation.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: stockmarket Bloodbath

I start with the markets, coronavirus, hapless Donald Trump and other matters. It is all a mess. Some folks are really hurting and I explain how this can affect you. Then I look at Cineworld (CINE), Mosman Oil & Gas (MSMN), Nostra Terra Oil & Gas (NTOG), Big Dish (DISH), NMC Health (NMC), Finablr (FIN) and Metro Bank (MTRO)

How I suffer for you dear listeners. All is explained. Then there is a long discussion on the administration of Patisserie Holdings (CAKE).
