To anyone still listening: in today’s Bearcast I discuss Global Petroleum (GBP), Regtech Open (RTOP) and the ongoing failure of the FCA to address a £189 million fraud, Safestyle (SFE) and FTI Consulting and NatWest Group (NWG), its profits warning, its Farage report (a whitewash), Alison Rose and why I don’t own any banking stocks.

As I noted at the time, there is one rule for the great and good and another for we dirty plebs. The Information Commissioners Office (ICO) has today ruled that former NatWest (NWG) CEO Alison Rose, not once but twice, breached data protection laws in leaking details of Nigel Farage’s bank account to the BBC reporter Simon Jack. Well there’s a shock. You don’t say. But is the ICO going to do anything about it?

In today’s podcast I consider US opinion polls as President Trump is indicted for a third time, Alison Rose and women FTSE 100 directors and how Ms Rose screwed women customers of NatWest (NWG) in particular. Then it is onto Orcadian Energy (ORCA), Optibiotix (OPTI), Wildcat Petroleum (WCAT) and Bushveld Minerals (BMN)

I start by asking why if the Met Office could not predict the weather today why I should believe its 77 year forecast? then I look at whether anyone is ever not rewarded for failure these days, ref NatWest (NWG), Wandisco (WAND) and Pod Point (PODP). Then to 3 articles concerning Compass Group (CPG) and the comedy of “Project Equity” – illegal woke madness - HERE, Andrew Neil comparing EU and US economic performance HERE and Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) is it all systems go?

I am not saying it would or should but given that it is spaffing money on exploration in Ethiopia why isn’t it just buying into/buying Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI). The answer might reflect badly on Kefi, I just do not know. I also consider Centamin’s (CEY) results. I start with snake barn thoughts. Then it is onto Alison Rose and NatWest (NWG) and Karl Monaghan at Wandisco (WAND) and why I despair about UK PLC and how the great and the good are protected. I consider Rua Life Sciences (RUA) and Great Western Mining (GWMO)

Her position was untenable after she admitted – as I suggested was the case here – that she was the person who leaked to the BBC details of Nigel Farage’s bank account at Coutts and a claim that he was not targeted because of his political views. Many banking experts and media types have such Farage derangement syndrome that they defended Alison Rose the CEO of NatWest (NWG) the owner of Coutts. I disagree with Farage on much but what Rose and Coutts did was wrong. I could see the wood for the trees.

I start with Ms Rose and NatWest (NWG). then I look at Optibiotix (OPTI) and why I would not sell at 15p after interviewing Steve O’Hara today. I look at Cakebox (CBOX), AMT Energy (AMTE), Lansdowne Oil & Gas (LOGP) and at IOG (IOG).

I discussed the scandal of the closing of Nigel Farage’s bank account by Coutts on political grounds in a podcast yesterday HERE. Like the heroic Peter Tatchell who has opined on this matter, I really disagree with Farage on many things, but I argue that what Coutts has done is scandalous. But this scandal now looks like it is ratchetting up and very well could cost Dame Alison Rose, the boss of NatWest (NWG) which owns Coutts, her job. Here’s why.

I start with a few other comments on Greek Hovel matters. Then I move on to talk about three companies which I shall be or are discussing with the FCA: Zenith (ZEN), Eqtec (DOG), and Verditek (VDTK). Then onto NatWest Group (NWG) where I apologise for my bad language. Finally my thoughts on the gold price and comments on gold stocks I own: Centamin (CEY), Ariana (AAU), Kefi (KEFI), Bluebird Merchant (BMV), and Xtract (XTR).
