Okay it is not a material porky/ exercise in Diane Abbott maths but if you catch a company doing this once the odds are that it is doing it often and thus it becomes uninvestable. Thus also shows a remarkable degree of sloppiness by all concerned. I refer you to the RNS issued by Quantum Blockchain Technologies (QBT on April 15 this year.

A reader flags up that Quantum Blockchain (QBT) appears to be having a few problems with its patent applications in the US. My reading of the most recent setback, which Quantum has yet to respond to via RNS, is that the patent office seems to think that the IP has no distinictive features at all, it is essentially worthless. But maybe I do not really understand what is going on.

I look back at a great Ofex fraud of the 1990s and at bug frauds we exposed in the 2010s. I fear I have never been thus cynical about the way London small caps operate. I discuss Bluebird Mining (BMV), Valereum (VLRM) and Quantum Blockchain (QBT) in historic contexts.

I feel utterly depressed for two reasons and made some progress in talking to the Mrs about retirement and emigration. Then it is onto Quantum Energy (QED) and the BSF Enterprises (BSFA) proposed share bezzle and the FCA read across to a David Lenigas enterprise. Then Quantum Blockchain (QBD) and finally Iran, the oil and gold prices and BP (BP.) where I ponder my investment again.

After all Time Magazine made Hitler man of the year 1938 and – I think – made Great Thunberg, the Doom Goblin, Person of the year as well. As folks in Europe and America freeze to death in coming years they will look back on both awards in an unkind way. So what of The Times making Elon its businessman of the year? As Ouzo man starts shorting Tesla (TSLA) again is this a Hitler moment? I also look at Asiamet (ARS), at whether UK retail had a better Christmas than expected and at Quantum Blockchain (QBT), surely a pre-placing pump is underway.
