Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: helping Wishbone gerbils with maths on its cash crisis & the AQSE paradox

I end with an urgent plea to you all, please do enter the latest contest HERE. I start with some maths on Wishbone (WSBN) to help those who do not realise the severity of its cash crisis. Then the paradox of AQSE considering why Probiotix (PBX) should stay but its manifest failings on Amazing AI but more especially Valereum (VLRM).

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Evil Banksta gets a Mobico financial kicking, thank heavens for Andrew Monk and his bodged placing

I start with a shock for the bears and the bid for Mobico (MCG). Then it is Valereum (VLRM), Wishbone Gold (WSBN), Falconedge (EDGE), Nuburu (US:BURU) and Supply@ME Capital (SYME). Finally a chat with Adam Reynolds, more colour on the Q3 Probiotix (PBX) numbers and I introduce tentative forecasts for 2029 and 2030.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Probiotix and Invinity

I start with an urgent appeal, please help out. Then I look at Probiotix (PBX) and at Invinity (IES) where I think Evil Banksta is being too charitable after the botched fund raise by Andrew Monk and others

Is it always a bad sign when you switch auditors to PKF Littlejohn?

So says reader BuriedTreasure “Appointing PKF Littlejohn, auditors for all sorts of scallywags, is never a positive move” with regard to today’s news from Probiotix (PBX). But he is wrong. Do not get me wrong, PKF does act for all sorts of scallywags but that is not the same as saying that all its clients are scallywags.

Optibiotix Interims – get your cheque book ready Adam

Any loss making company reporting interims which gives the period end cash number but not also an up to date cash number hoists an enormous red flag and that brings us to Optibiotix (OPTI) which, ceteris paribus, will be running on vapours by early 2027. Half calendar year numbers are out today.

Optibiotix – here’s one it made earlier, and it wonders why nobody believes a word it says

Optibiotix, the material uncertainty – might a placing be on the cards? More dilution vicar?

I do not know but I speculate.  Optibiotix (OPTI) will publish its results for the year to December 31 at some point in June. History suggests that it will be at the end of the month.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: 2 birds who want to get their mitts out for the sads

By that I mean that they want to get their hands on dumb money in a placing: I discuss when and why for Bluebird (BMV) and Blackbird (BIRD). Then it is rate hikes/cuts, why the UK has stubborn inflation and gold. I look at Mirriad (MIRI), Valereum (VLRM) and Probiotix (PBX) with its accounting boo-boo but cracking results.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast No 1: The H2 Optibiotix cash burn, the prediction of when the money runs out and its funding options

I have been looking at the RNS of 17 February from Optibiotix (OPTI) again, doing some sums on just how bad H2 2025 was and pondering how close to a cash crisis are Steve O' Hara and the gang. I consider its funding options re Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX), Probiotix (PBX) and raising fresh equity. It looks grim.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast No 2: playing the Sam Antar game "fraudster" on Ashman day, questions for the enablers and what of the other "ix's"

I start with a series of observations and questions for various folks including crazy Meg from Bloomberg following the Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) fraud debacle. Then I look at where that leaves Optibiotix (OPTI) and Probiotix (PBX). FWIW I have now placed an order to buy more Probiotix shares for my SIPP. UPDATE the order has now been completed

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast No 2: political betting with Lucian, why should Webley buy shares but why Adams should and could

I start with the betting on who will be the next Prime Minister then I discuss director share buying or lack of it at The Smarter Web Company (SWC), Probiotix (PBX) and Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI). You know in the end, for all the fuss, it will not change the end game share price.

Optibiotix Orders Announced – do I have sellers remorse?

It has been suggested elsewhere that I may have sellers regret with regard to both Optibiotix (OPTI) and Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX). Since I put my disposal proceeds into Kefi and Amaroq, which have both raced ahead, I do not. Moreover I do not need to worry about management with a track record of bollocksing things up and of serving up incomplete trading statements. That brings me to today’s RNS from Optibiotix.

Making a share purchase for my SIPP and a new video

Should I have sought written approval from the puritan lynching mob lead by Ed from Islington or the pesky rodent before buying these shares? As it happens I flagged up how cheap they were in light of its latest news BEFORE buying this morning so I disadvantaged myself.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast No 1: examining my ethics on Skins, flagging up my Optibiotix intentions and why I'm not selling Probiotix

Some of you have read my barrage of criticism of Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) as a pump so that I could dump my shares. My many times repeated bearcast assertions that I cannot recommend others own the stock are to be ignored (even just on Friday as I stuck the knife in I concluded with the CRAP phrase! - a phrase any City person knows to mean sell) and that I am a scumbag for not flagging here that I was going to sell my shares before I did. This and another Evri disaster put me in a bad mood. I walk you through events from Friday morning and explain why I believe I acted correctly but apologise if you think I did not. I offer AGM voting advice for those still holding Skins. To appease the mob, I flag up that I may sell my Optibiotix (OPTI) shares but explain why I am not selling Probiotix (PBX)

Whoever hates me seems to hate me even more. Then it is onto Probiotix (PBX) which I look to as a three to eight bagger within three years after impressive interims today and IQE (IQE) where its more ouzo for me as a zero beckons and more cold cabbage water for Comrade Stacey and a thirsty former shop worker.

Letter to Liam Murray, the FCA and AIM regulation: Re Neil Davidson, allegations of lying and Optibiotix

At Saturday’s Sharestock Adam Reynolds of Probiotix (PBX) was grilled on the exact timeline of communications between Probiotix and Optibiotix (OPTI) between September 3 and October 10 last year. If Reynolds is telling the truth and I believe that he is and that any scrutiny of phone and email records will demonstrate that then Neil Davidson, the chairman of Optibiotix (OPTI) has deceived investors in 2024 and lied to the AGM this year. I have written to Optibiotix’s Nomad Liam Murray at Cairn Financial

Steve O' Hara 12 minute monologue, listen and FYB

The Optibiotix (OPTI) CEO has recorded a 12 minute monologue. Listen and I defy anyone not to say why this does not leave the shares hugely cheap at 18.5p, a market cap of c£18 million. This really is a cue to FYB. Here are the key takeaways:

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast No 1: Very Happy with Probiotix but this options plan looks like insider dealing

I am happy with the news out of China. I think that shares in Probiotix (PBX) will at least double or treble on a three year view and could multibag. But an options plan announced today stinks. If directors could not deal in shares without insider dealing how could they set an options plan strike price?

Probiotix Trading Update: this will be a multibagger, targets lifted

It was clear, well written, had real numbers and gave clear guidance. Sacking Walbrook PR which has historically mangled every statement from the Optibiotix (OPTI) stable and employing ex IC hack Miles Nolan was a smart move. More importantly Probiotix (PBX) is delivering.
