Tom Winnifrith Bonus Bearcast: My own thoughts on Pires Investments and Tern, the marriage that failed

I am after all an expert on divorces and failed marriages. But this one failed even before the two made it to the altar as Pires Investments (PIRI) shareholders rejected an all share merger with TERN (TERN) I salute them. I look at why this deal failed, the logic behind it for Tern (TERN), viz an escape. The logic for Pires – arguably the right strategy but the wrong target – and where both go from here. I make Pires an offer it should accept if it is to consider any more M&A activity.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: why aren't the shares suspended?

Recovering from several lectures on the evils of Brexit, I send you greetings from Frogland this Bank Holiday Thursday. In today’s podcast, I look again at the Tern (TERN) – Pires (PIRI) merger. I then discuss three slam-dunk zeros: Kinovo (KINO) – whose shares should be suspended with immediate effect – Versarien (VRS) and Nanosynth (NNN), where the new CEO, Mark Duffin, is a complete clown. If he does a deal in snails, as he suggests, I am a Dutchman.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast - that insanity over the Tesla price target, why it reminds me of ARM in dotcom madness days

I start with Tesla (TSLA) and a mad broker target. I discuss why it is mad and look back to ARM in the year 2000. Then it is onto plans to allow companies to delay results even more. Mentioned en passant here are Pires Holdings (PIRI) and Inspirit (INSP). Finally I turn to the idea of allowing folks to delay filing tax returns and paying tax.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Synairgen and the cure for Covid 19

I cover this company whose shares were up by 500% at one point today. Does Synairgen (SNG) really sit on a gold mine? I also look at 3 David Lenigas related situations: Empire Metals (EEE), Pires (PIRI) and UK Oil & Gas (UKOG). With regard to the last of the three I mention Jubilee Metals (JLP), in which I bought some more shares today. I also discuss the “it’s too good to be true” rule ref Amigo (AMGO)

What is the collective noun for a group of share rampers? A Lenigas?

Rampers of a feather stick together, Dave Lenigas blows off Chris Akers on twitter

On Saturday in my main stage AIM rogues presentation David Lenigas and Chris Akers both featured prominently. Big Dave is a shareholder in Pires Investments (PIRI) a stock that was my tip of the year but where I suggested banking gains as it now trade way above fair value. Chris Akers has today announced that he has taken his stake from 3.1% to 6.1% and Lenigas almost wet himself with excitement as he tried to tweet the news out asap, as you can see below. Caveat emptor:
