‘Twas the night before Christmas and things were bad at the luxury London townhouse of Mr. Andrew Monk, a man who liked to be described as the City of London’s top small cap broker. Not one visit but two from the ghostly figure in a Wrexham hoodie and now Monk could not find any way to get to sleep and was not greatly surprised when the large French Windows burst open again and, once more, a chubby finger beckoned.

Try as he could, Andrew Monk was feeling not very sexy Andrew after the visit of the ghostly figure in a Wrexham hoodie. “Surely everyone knows how important and well connected I am” he repeated over and over again to himself. But he just could not get to sleep.

The fragrant Mrs. Monk had left for the family’s Cornish Mansion, Dun Broking, some days previously. Very Sexy Andrew, as he liked to refer to himself, had been detained in London by a series of meetings with other terribly important men and so was set to fly down to the Cornish Riviera early on Christmas Day. For now, he found himself alone in his West London townhouse just a few doors away from Jeremy Vine’s pile.

It is turning out to be a rather bad week for the egomaniac boss of VSA Capital (VSA), the, self styled, “Very Sexy Andrew” Monk. Yesterday it emerged that his firm is being sued for a Bernie by former client Silverwood Brands (SLWD) and yesterday VSA was also fired as adviser to Cook’s Coffee (COOK) which it listed on the Aquis lobster pot less than a year ago. We know that loss making VSA needs all the retainers it can get but if it had to lose one, interims from Cooks out today suggest it would probably be this one. They are dire. And misleading.

Oh dear, oh dear. There’s trouble at t’mill for VSA Capital (VSA) the corporate advisory firm run by the egomaniac and self-styled Very Sexy Andrew (Monk). You cannot say that I did not warn you. It is all to do with VSA’s erstwhile client, fellow Aquis listed dog Silverwood Brands (SLWD) and its failed attempt to buy a 20% stake in cosmetics retailer Lush. Honestly you could not make this shit up.

Shares in Silverwood Brands (SLWD) valued at 100p a pop represented about a third of the year end balance sheet of Andrew Monk’s Aquis listed VSA Capital (VSA). Yesterday just £7500 worth of shares were sold by somebody at just 25p causing the mid price to halve from 60p to 30 and so slashing the market cap by 50% to £78 million. Frankly even that valuation is nutso. It gets murkier and murkier.

But reader Magna Carta says that you all want me to stop mentioning what he terms my “hobby”. Matthew’s Dog and Catriona will be delighted that I think he can go feck himself, please do feel free to donate HERE. Nearly all of the podcast , as ever, is about companies and I cover: Inland Homes (INL), Moonpig (MOON), Caracal Gold (GCAT), VSA Capital (VSA) and its revenue recognition and the odd company that is Kelso (KLSO). PS did you know that Andrew Monk who runs, what he terms, Very Sexy Andrew, went to Oriel College Oxford? He does mention it now and again.
