The internet or X is not just for videos of masturbating cats and for Jeremy Corbyn to spout blood libels against the Jews. Occasionally on X there is a post that is thought provoking. In that vein I offer you this one from George Pu.

I start with a discussion on AI prompted by a fascinating article flagged up by Matt Earl. I reckon I will, if spared, be out of a job in less than a decade and so will many others. For the web design industry I reckon it could be curtains far sooner and that brings me to the acquisition made today by the Smarter Web Company (SWC). It is structutred in a way that does my NBF Andrew Webley credit but for macro reasons it sort of adds to the bear case. I disciss. The AI article is HERE. To see me debate Webley on September 5 at Sharestock, now 70% sold out, go HERE

It strikes me that Sage (SGE) a £7.8 billion market cap company at 826p, is the sort of company that is going to be battered, whatever it has said publicly, by AI. But what do I know? So I asked an expert investor in the sector ( a human not a bot) who answer the question, is Sage an AI sell:

ETF Entrepreneur William Rhind says that recent market volatility was downto multiple factors, including potential Federal Reserve leadership changes, cryptocurrency market movements, and concerns about AI’s impact on software companies. He argues that we are in the early stages of AI development, with significant potential for innovation and disruption across industries.

As a proud Scot and follower of his national Rugby team, Zak Mir must be used to humiliating defeats. But yesterday’s AGM and GM votes released late in the day by Lift Global Ventures (LFT) were a real thrashing. The hapless Mir had done his sums and thought it would be close. I guess that is why he is a chartist and not a fundamental analyst.

Who do I, as a West Ham diehard, support if our arch rivals Millwall play our other arch rivals the dirtbags at Spurs? It is a really hard call. I’d want both to lose. I am not quite at that point when it comes to the boardroom battle at wretched Zak Mir’s Lift Global Ventures (LFT). I think everyone knows that I am no fan of Mir or his proposed chairman Howard White of Hydrogen Utopia (HUI) infamy or of Zak’s ghastly sister from Shares Magazine who sent me such a horrible letter. But on the other hand …

Sundae Bar (SBAR) joined the AIM Casino as an AI play on June 3rd 2025 c/o London’s worst Nomad Roland “fatty” Cornish. I warned at the time that its valuation at 8p was a laughable spoof as you would expect from an offering from the Bixby Edwards gang. Within a month it had tried and failed to jump on board the bitcoin in treasury bandwagon. Today the shares languish at 4.6p but that still values this crock at £20 million. The issue for CEO Jill Kenney is SMTM! Or lack of it!

Francis Hunt, the Market Sniper, argues that we are only in the early stages of a precious metals bull market, with gold, silver, and particularly platinum presenting substantial investment opportunities. He emphasizes the scarcity of these metals, especially platinum, which he sees as dramatically undervalued compared to its rarity.

It is currently the bitcoin bubble that seems to be bursting, the AI bubble was flagged up by Lucian here last week, it is deflating too. You may find it easier to short the big US AI plays such as Nvidia, but if you are looking for a UK short here is one where my pal Evil Banksta is short and where I see the shares falling by at least 75% if not more.

As I see it, you have two options: either to believe the laws of gravity have been suspended, or to accept that gold and other precious metals exist within an entirely new paradigm. Simply claiming that the markets are massively overpriced and will return to “normal” marks you as a dinosaur who has yet to understand that fundamental changes have occurred.

You really could not make this up. There is no word today on the much delayed repayment of three quarters of a Bernie plus interest from hugely insolvent Trans African Energy. The cheque from Africa has not arrived. So it looks as if Mir has spaffed the bulk of Lift’s balance sheet and his chairman Roy Kelly, who also sits on the Trans board, has walked the plank. From bad to worse. His replacement is a proven rogue, scoundrel and all right wrong ’un Dave Richards MBE of Wandisco (WAND) infamy.

I flagged up that the AIM listing of Sundae Bar (SBAR) was a complete rum ‘n’; coke with an absurd valuation almost as soon as it hit the markets c/o of London’s worst Nomad Roland “fatty” Cornish HERE.

Everything with even a whiff of AI is flying. But most of the companies that say they will be AI plays are talking the talk rather than actually walking the walk. Talk is cheap. Anyone can do it. Walking is harder. LunglifeAI (LLAI) listed on the AIM sewer on July 2 2021 saying that it was “a developer of clinical diagnostic solutions for lung cancer enhanced by AI.” It raised £17 million on listing at 176p.

A couple of years ago Bixby and his business buddy Mike Edwards were floating all things cannabis. Then the pot bubble burst and it was NFTs having dabbled into the bitcoin space before that bubble burst. Now, of course, it is AI and today we have another spoof.

Over the past three days, newly appointed executive director Mike Edwards has bought 8 million shares in Cellular Goods (CBX). His name is the contact on RNS he is calling the shots. Today he has announced a, laughable change of name and strategy. Just how on earth can this not be insider dealing. Do not tell me that this was all dreamt up yesterday afternoon, Edwards traded on specific price sensitive information.

The blockchain to NFT to AI to whatever bandwagon is next entity run by ex ADVFN boss Clem Chambers with well remunerated help from his sons, that is Online Blockchain (OBC), must surely be running on vapours.
