Microsalt (SALT), as I have warned both you and the FCA in recent months is almost out of cash and unless it gets a placing away soon it faces an Autumnul gig with the Fat Lady. The shares have collapsed to just 16p so I reckon it would be lucky to get an issue away at 8p. It needs to happen soon. The maths are stark.

Microsalt (SALT) is part of the TekCapital (TEK) nest of snakes. Tek buys crap companies for peanuts, funds them, usually with debt, then lists them at a crazy price so it can get its debts repaid and flog shares. That allows it to buy another shitco for peanuts and, more importantly, to fund bloated PLC costs. Rinse and repeat. Microsalt is revolutionising the world of salt….whatever. It is almost Woodfordesque. Now do the maths.

The TekCapital (TEK) business model is to invest in crap private companies, IPO them, dump shares and use that cash to invest in other private shitcos and to pay bloated PLC costs. Lovely Jubbly. Ching Ching. Ukrainian Young Ladies all round. That brings me to today’s update from investee company Innovative Eyewear (US:LUCY).

I look back to the era of Britpop as I look at the Optibiotix (OPTI) vs Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) split among you HERE. Then it is TekCapital (TEK), Microsalt (SALT), First Class Metals (FCM) and Eco Buildings (ECOB)

You can usually judge an AIM Company by its advisers. TekCapital has as its Nomad SP Angel disgraced for its antics pumping and dumping BlueJay (JAY), acting for the scoundrel Ricketts at Versarien (VRS) and for turning a blind eye to the fraud at Mysquar (MYSQ). Its PR is Flagstaff, run by Tim Thompson, sacked from a reputable employer after I exposed his dirty tricks campaign against shareholders in Range Resources (RRL). With such a dream team on board you know that having lain with dogs for so long, TekCapital (TEK) is likely to have fleas. Today we have a trading statement revealing its NAV as at 31 December.

The word on the street is that Father Christmas has a stocking gift for myself from the Dominic Frisby store as a reward for being so good this year. Meanwhile the great man has a new song out which is superb although, for some reason, the Mrs. is not a fan! Enjoy.

In today's bearcast I digress with some Booker family geneology but I discuss blue chip yield plays including Glaxo SmithKline (GSK) but then real estate plays such as British Land (BLND) and finally the housebuilders notably Persimmon (PSN) and Crest Nicholson (CRST). Then I look at the scandal that is Mercantile Ports (MPL), TekCapital (TEK) and finally, in some detail, Amur Minerals (AMC).

Recorded at the bottom of the valley underneath the abandoned convent, to avoid the noise of hard at work labourers at the Greek Hovel, this is my last full day in Greece. In today's bearcast I look at IQE with reference to the growing short; at Tekcapital (TEK) and getting a new broker; RM2 (RM2 and at Gear4Music (G4M) which is surely massively overvalued?

Once again I plead complete ignorance when it comes to TekCapital (TEK). There are 2,500 listed companies in London and I am not so much of a geek to be able to do 2 minutes without hesitation, deviation or repetition on all of them or even most of them. Anyhow over to Clifford Gross for enlightenment.
