Clean Air Power (CAP) has just raised £1 million at 4p – a 27% discount to the share price the day before the RNS. The stock now trades at a new year low of 4.125p and this appears a lesson in red flags. I’d not wan t to hold this stock as it strikes me that it is full of CAP.
The hype is clear. Roman Abramovich is a shareholder and he is a smart fellow. Yes he is but we all make mistakes. The company has exciting technology, hmmm. It states that it is “developer and provider of Dual-Fuel™ engines for heavy duty vehicles.” Well that may or may not be a growth market but that does not mean this company will make money from it. Think AIM Cesspit listed Tanfield (TAN) and green cars. But who cares. It sounds exciting so let’s buy a few…er, maybe not.
And as it happens the company boasts that since 1991 it has spent £50 million on its technology and as a result has patents pending in 65 countries. Hmmmm. 23 years and £50 million spunked up against the wall on R&D and it is still not anywhere close to generating cash? Yes that’s right.

A good chat with bear raider Evil Knievil today throws up the fact that his biggest short position right now is online celebrity driven retailer ASOS (ASC) but also that he is looking at another stock that I have already written up as a slam dunk short – more on that later. Those who have followed the great bear will remember that Evil has consistently shorted ASOS ( betting against the lure of Stella McCartney, Kate Moss etc) and consistently got it wrong. His losses over the years on this one must be well into seven figures by now but undeterred he is at it again. But is he right?
