Argo Blockchain and another bailout placing – will it ever generate free cash?

In short, the answer to that question is that there is more chance of me shagging Cheryl Cole. But now to the long answer as Argo Blockchain (ARB) has passed the hat around yet again for dumb fund managers to piss away other folks cash for the umpteenth time.

Alien Metals shares just 0.21p and falling: when’s the next bailout placing?

As a long term bear of Alien Metals (UFO) I have flagged up numerous undeclared related party and other sordid deals. This company has always been drowning in red flags and is the sort of shite AIM could do without. Now for some maths.

Invinity – FY to be broadly in line, i.e. a miss: when’s the rescue placing?

Goaded by me repeatedly, Invinity (IES) has served up a trading statement which dissembles. The only question now is WHEN is the bailout placing? I suspect pompous broker Andrew Monk is already on the case.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: a snake correction & the WGEOMM is in touch

I start with the snake yesterday and a clarification, then it is onto Dispensa (DISP), Vast Resources (VAST), BjueJay Mining (JAY) – surely another bailout placing ahoy but at what price? – Microsaic (MSYS), Power Metal Resources (POW), Teather’s Financial and Flip Flop Ben Turney, and in real detail musicMagpie (MMAG) and why today’s statement does not address the real issue, making the shares a slam dunk sell.

Invinity: clearly there is something wrong: time for Andrew Monk to apologise and ‘fess up, clearly it is bailout placing ahoy

On September 5 2023 I took Andrew Monk of VSA Capital (VSA) to task for trying to ramp shares in Invinity Energy (IES) on an all expenses paid jolly visiting Canadian fund managers. The shares were then 49p. I do hope that you followed my bear call as, despite Monkey’s wretched protestations, I was bang on the money. The shares are now 28.5p and falling rapidly.

Chill Brands – it is what it is NOT saying

The ramping continues with news that Chill Brands (CHLL) is to plug its nicotine free vapes via a wholesaler website. With almost zero brand awareness it is hard to see many small independent stores placing orders via this channel but in the absence of any positive financials to ramp the shares ahead of the next bailout placing any news will do. But it is what it is NOT saying that matters.

Versarien – bailout placing at just 0.275p – remember when the shares were 200p?

To that poltroon who said that I called Versarien (VRS) brilliantly in the era of disgraced Neill Ricketts but had not appreciated the ”turnaround strategy” I say “feck you, yet again it is ouzo on cornflakes time at Sheriff Towers”. Today, as predicted, comes the latest bailout placing raising a paltry £454,822, before expenses at a price of 0.275 pence per share. The net proceeds will be, I predict, little over £400,000 and will all be gone by St Valentine’s Day.

Versarien now just 0.5p to sell – what price the bailout placing in just over two weeks now?

Some chump who is a long term bull of Versarien (VRS) recently wrote that while I might just have called this stock right in the era of Neill Ricketts the jury was out as to whether I was right being bearish about the new regime. Since then, in just a couple of weeks, the shares have halved to just 0.5p to sell. And it has to get worse for on October 30th a GM will approve a capital reorganisation reducing par from 1p to 0.1p and, as the company is running on vapours, this will prompt yet another bailout placing PDQ.

Told y’all – Wildcat dissembles in the face of a hugely discounted bailout placing

I told you all, repeatedly, that a) Wildcat Petroleum (WCAT) was running on vapours, b) that it was a worthless POS and c) that no serious investor would touch this with a bargepole and that any bailout would thus be a hugely discounted offering for flippers only. Well guess what folks: it’s ouzo on cornflakes tome for me, more poverty for those who think they know better than I do.

Invinity – More Monkey Business: when is the next placing Andrew you dissembling scoundrel?

You may remember that a few weeks ago Andrew Monk got pretty furious when I suggested that he was taking Invinity Energy (IES) to see a stack of Canadian fund managers to lay the groundwork for the next bailout placing. Today we have interims and it is blindingly obvious that as part of his degree in name dropping at Oriel College Oxford, Monkey did not do any maths but he might have done a paper on misleading investors. Natch Invinity boasts of “record” sales and muppet investors seem impressed by that ignoring the company’s own admission today that it is running out of money.

Vast Resources: bailout placing, still technically insolvent, no news from Zim ( cheque not even in post yet)

BREAKING: The BBC fesses up to misleading over Scotgold pump and dump now AIM Regulation needs to step in

I have noted before how one valiant reader complained to the wretched BBC about its coverage of Scotgold (SGZ) earlier this year ( January 30) – reports which were clearly false caused the share price to spike to 70p allowing a bailout placing at just 40p to go ahead. Amazingly the BBC has now formally accepted that it did mislead its viewers, thus costing many of them a good few quid. But it gets worse.

Okay Rod scuttled away a while back but like a bad fart which lingers, the legacy of an incompetent promoter also lingers. For once, Doc Holliday is right, McIllree needs purging from the PLC scene. Today Bluejay has announced a bailout £1.3 million placing at 1.75p.

When’s the next bailout placing at Voyager Life – spoof operational update

Chaired by Eric Boyle of disgraced Stanford Rook ( Stanford Crook to its pals), Voyager Life (VOY) has been a disaster for investors since its listing in June 2021 at 58p. I have managed to get the shares suspended once and exposed this red flags laden, rogue-run, POS more than once. If “old” Liam Murray at Cairn had any sense at all he would quit as its Aquis adviser. Instead we have another spoof RNS operational update designed to pump the shares, now just 11p to sell, ahead of the next bailout placing, needed within weeks to avoid bankruptcy.

The Versarien Bailout Placing (natch) prize sweepstake result. And the winner is...

Now approaching a month ago when the shares closed at above 2.5p, it was clear that Versarien (VRS) required a bailout placing and we launched a prize sweepstake to name the placing price and, as a tie breaker, the price the day before the placing – with the prize 500ml of Tom’s Greek Hovel olive oil. Versarien duly obliged earlier this week at a massively discounted (natch) to the prior closing 2.0625p share price, 1.25p. And the winner is…

VINDICATED YET AGAIN: Versarien bailout placing fails to hit targets, death postponed by only 2 months (at most!)

This is so simple that even the most moronic or Bulletin Board morons or spiv, Scouse, penny share grifter, share promoters should get it: companies do not set out to raise £531,624 (gross) in a deeply discounted placing. They go for a round number. A company running on vapours raising a non round number and way below what it had the authorities to raise is a sign that only forward sellers and flippers were interested. I refer to Versarien (VRS). Its latest placing is a disaster.

Then it is onto Versarien (VRS) and the Neill Ricketts payoff and bailout placing and Pensana (PRE) which must by now be at death’s door: a £55 million market cap looks full in the circumstances and a statement is needed. Finally, that old scallywag Lenigas of Pennpetro (PPPhas doubled down after my earlier expose. He would not dare behave like this in America.

The last time we had a figure for the, rapidly falling, cash position at Chill Brands (CHLL) was 30 September when cash was £1.8 million after a £2.2 million loss in the six months prior. There were one offs in that period but you can do the maths. By the March 31 year end the cash will largely be gone and so yet another placing is on the way. So today a prize spoof.

There has been a concerted attempt by Versarien (VRS) to ramp its shares in recent weeks.

I have written again on the matter of its market abuse, deceiving investors to pump the shares ahead of bailout placings. The letter is below:

Verditek – more bad news from Tory Toff Lord Willetts, cash crisis looms

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. That used to be the catchphrase of disgraced penny share tipster Mike Walters of Minmet, 3DM, Polly Peck, Pursuit Dynamics, etc, etc infamy. I wonder if he will be using it today as the Verditek (VDTK) dog he has promoted so aggressively has coughed up to another lack of sales warning. It means that a bailout discount placing is inevitable within the next couple of months but natch the company, chaired by Tory Toff Lord Willetts, polishes the turd.

Bidstack admits to pre Christmas deceit, warns on 2021 – has to be rescue placing ahoy

The first of a number of triumphs today for the Sheriff of AIM is AIM bad boy Bidstack (BIDS). After repeated pressure from this website it has, finally, admitted that its pre Christmas trading statement was a deceit and, better still, has issued a shock warning about 2021. Oh dear, its moronic followers, including Mike Turner, that cross dressing IT freak from Northants, will be cacking themselves as a cash crisis looms. Let’s start with the false market created on 17 December with the misleading RNS signed off by shameless Nomad Stifel.

Lying James Draper and Bidstack – it is what is NOT said in today’s pre-placing ramptastic trading statement

Sales are vanity. Profit is a matter of opinion. Cash is reality. But if you are trying to ramp your shares ahead of a bailout placing you do not want to talk about cash ( or rather lack of it) or even profits (or rather losses) so you jus bang on about sales. That brings us to Bidstack (BIDS).

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Bidstack's countdown to next bailout placing

It is bad news for gender fluid, Bidstack (BIDS) owning, journalist-defaming moron Mike Turner - the countdown to the next bailout placing is underway. I crunch the numbers and speculate on what boss Lyin’ James Draper will do about it. After that I consider Verditek (VDTK) and its growing catalogue of lies and also warn Innovate UK that I am on its case as I have been alerted to another of its grant scandals. Finally I consider two companies that are desperate to be bid for but which, I suspect, will not be: Audioboom (BOOM) and Eurasia Mining (EUA).

Interims from Verditek show the lying mothers are more or less insolvent

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: 5 weeks to save Bidstack with a bailout placing

In today’s podcast I look at the overall market bloodbath asking whether we see capitulation and a buying opportunity or if things could get much worse. I look at Bidstack and the speed at which it must complete a bailout placing, at Blue Jay Mining (JAY) and the antics of its disgraced Nomad and broker SP Angel, at Versarien (VRS) and the true import of today’s free podcast and finally at AFC Energy (AFC) one of the most overvalued stocks on AIM.

Toople: placing, Results, What’s not to like? Everything, that is what

Plutus Powergen: as it hurtles towards insolvency how can Nomad Allenby justify the obvious untruth in the last RNS

The par value of Plutus Powergen (PPG) shares is 0.1p. The shares now trade at 0.08-0.09p making it almost impossible for this £700,000 capitalised worthless piece of crap to get a bailout placing away which begs the question of how Nomad Allenby, how on earth did it verify the last RNS?

Bidstack Spoooooooof!

After yesterday’s shock lack of profits warning from Bidstack (BIDS) the next question is when will a bailout placing be needed. To that end the company has announced today what appears to be an almighty spoof designed to ramp the stock ahead of the placing. Even the company’s PR Buchannan has just admitted to me that the release is not clear. This is your £10 million spoof of the day.

Letter to AIM Regulation re Remote Monitoring Systems & Shamed Nomad SP Angel of MySquar infamy

I have today written to the Oxymorons at AIM Regulation with regard to Remote Monitoring Systems (RMS) and its disgraced Nomad SP Angel of Mysquar (MYSQ) infamy, asking if monthly management accounts can be produced to justify statements made just three weeks before the last bailout placing on October 18. If they cannot be produced the regulator needs to take severe action against the company and its Nomad. I write

Audioboom – the scale of the pre placing cash fudge is revealed by shocking interims

I have noted on this website several times how Audioboom (BOOM) has real form in giving a misleading indication of its cash  position and cashburn ahead of a bailout placing. I warned you that it was up to its old tricks again in the final months of 2018 and early 2019 ahead of two placings which came along as predicted. Now the scale of that naughtiness is revealed with dismal interims out today. Here is your timeline.

Westminster 2018 results – the ghastly truth, the fudges to stop it being marked insolvent

And so having promised us 2018 sales of £7.2 million and an EBITDA profit on January 29, simply to get a bailout placing away on February 8, the ghastly truth now emerges. Westminster’s (WSG) 2018 results are shite and bar an accounting fudge they would have shown the group as insolvent. Let me explain.

Mirriad Advertising Results – Told y’all cash crisis ahoy

You have been warned so many times by myself about the uber dog Mirriad (MIRI) which listed on the AIM casino at 62p per share in December 2017. The shares are now 6.25p so shame on Nomad and broker Numis for this hound. Today we have calendar 2018 results and a warning that it needs a bailout placing within a year. I should cocoa.

Westminster – a French farce of an acquisition by fatso Baldry and accounting mayhem

On 29 January 2019 Westminster Group (WSG) the dog chaired by ex Tory MP Tony “fatso” Baldry of 3DM infamy issued a ramptastic trading statement to ramp its shares up to 12p allowing it to do a bailout, keep the lights on, placing at 10p a few days later. Now, as it prepares for its next bailout placing we have more grim news marking the company out as utterly uninvestable. First the mess of its accounts.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: The curse of loathsome ex Tory MP Tony Baldry is striking again

In bearcast i raise unanswered questions about Westminster Group (WSG) run by smug lardarse Tony Baldry and ask how soon the next bailout placing will be and at what price. I look again at the most overvalued & over-ramped stock on AIM, Bidstack (BIDS), at BlueJay Mining (JAY) and at AO World (AO) and Purplebricks (PURP) two companies that boost profits by ripping off customers.

Tom Winnifrith Bonus Bearcast: WH Ireland is a shit-show (as predicted) but this is an industry in crisis

In this bonus bearcast I comment on today's lack of profits warning from WH Ireland (WHI) and the bailout placing now underway which I had predicted. I look at WH Ireland and its woes but it is symptomatic of an industry in crisis. FinnCrap (FCAP) must warn sooner or later and most of the rest of the Nomad/brokers already have. What is needed is massive wage cuts across the board. Thankfully for supliers of coke and hookers, that will not happen which means a structural and cyclical crisis will claim more casualties soon. If you enjoyed this slating of the City's broken business model why not support the Rogue Bloggers for Woodlarks HERE.

City’s No 1 oil analyst sticks knife into Mayan after latest bailout placing? Where is the cash going?

Mayan Energy (MYN) has today raised £750,000 at 0.12p in its latest bailout placing but it comes with an admission that it has forgotten to file returns to the US taxman, the IRS, for an unspecified period and thus who knows how much of that cash will be swallowed up in unpaid tax bills. As such we have no idea how fast the clock is ticking on the next bailout placing. The City’s top oil analyst, Zac Phillips of SP Angel is scathing. He writes:

Sabien -99.7% value destruction since IPO, another bailout placing, it won’t be the last

Oh dear! Bad news from the boiler room. In this case I refer not to the offices of Peterhouse Corporate Finance, broker to this dog but to Sabien (SNT) itself, yet another company that planned to revolutionise the world of boilers when it raised money at 52p and listed in December 2006. Today’s latest bailout placing is at 0.1p and the owners of the 400 million pieces of confettu issued will end up owning 64% of the enlarged equity. More dilution vicar? It will not be the last.

Tom Winnifrith (more bad language) Bearcast: Update on the bastards at Barclays and hard questions for SP Angel and my old pal Jim Mellon

Warning there is plenty of bad language in the podcast - perhaps do not play it in front of the kids. I start with an update on those bastards at Barclays (BARC) who I discussed yesterday. I then look at Victoria (VCP), Jim Mellon's Port Erin (PEBI), two SP Angel dogs MySquar (FRAUD) and BjueJay Mining (JAY) and have new and serious questions for the shamed Nomad to consider. I look at Frontera (FRR) and its looming bailout placing, at Ascent Resources (AST) and at Rainbow Rare Earths (RBW). I also discuss the market sell off commending a reader who notes both my genius and my modesty on this matter.

Frontera shareholders you have been raped – "discussions with majors" exposed as meaningless MOU

Oh dear. Oh dear.  With the disgraced and widely reviled dirty tricks specialist Tim Thompson running its PR Frontera (FRR) was always going to play fast and loose with the rules of the AIM casino as it tried to ramp its shares ahead of yet another bailout placing. Today it announces a MOU which is really nothing of the sort and exposes this promote for the crock of shit that it is. Even the dullards on the LSE Asylum must now start to realise that they have been had.

Frontera had announced that it was having “discussions with industry majors.” Encouraged by the silky words of the paid ramper, the whore blogger Malcolm Graham Wood, toxic Tim Thompson and others the LSE Asylum dwellers speculated about big farm in deals with BP and others. Telephone number sums were discussed in a wankfest of the mentally inadequate.

A Letter to Marcus Stuttard and AIM Regulation – suspend Andalas now and stop the bailout placing

Almost out of cash, Andalas Energy (ADL) is gearing up for a bucket shop placing c/o joint bucket shop brokers Novum Securities & Optiva in the usual way: a ramptastic podcast with PR genius Steffi, 2 ramptastic RNS announcements and a ramptastic paid for podcast with Vox.  The trouble is that its claims have now been directly contradicted by its partner in the North Sea Badger field, Atlantic Petroleum (see HERE). If it turns out that Andalas was making unverifiable fantasy claims, as it appears, and raises money at an artificial price on the back of that, this would be a clear case of Securities fraud. In order to stop that the shares must be suspended at once pending a statement.  I have written to the fake Sheriff of AIM, Marcus Stuttard at AIM Regulation as you can see below.

Fatso Baldry – when’s the Westminster Group bailout placing & at what price?

Shares in Westminster Group (WSG), run by loathsome ex Tory MP slug, Tony “fatso” Baldry of 3DM infamy have slipped again to just 9.2p to sell.  Those who ponied up £750,000 in the last bailout placing at 22p, less than six months ago, must by now realise that backing a Baldry run company is financial hara kiri.  But things are going to get worse. You see the money's almost gone....

David Lenigas, the bollocks ramptastic tweet and the bailout placing underway at UK Oil & Gas - I am sure it is just a coincidence

This tweet below is just one of a number of bullish tweets about Horse Hill where the biggest investor is UK Oil & Gas (UKOG) made by David Lenigas the founder of UK and, as far as we know still a shareholder. Today it has been forced by me to fess up that a bailout placing is underway. The problem with Big Dave's tweet is that it is bollocks. As to the idea that it is a pre-placing ramp, no way Jose, not David Lenigas, this is just a coincidence.

Strat Aero - pathetic pre-bailout placing ramp attempted - FFS this company is bust

Strat Aero (AERO) is quite clearly insolvent. That its shares have not been suspended pending clarification is just another badge of shame for the world's most successful growth market, that is to say the AIM Casino. Today sees another pathetic attempt to sucker in mug punters to try to pump this worthless stock ahead of another bailout placing.

Audioboom: pretentious new sales monkey joins but when's the next bailout placing

Today we have news that Oli Walters has joined as head of UK sales. Oli pretentious millennial twist on Oliver perhaps? I am sure that he will fit in brilliantly and help rack up an admin overhead which is now closer to £600,000 a month than £500,000.

Tom Winnifrith Bonus Bearcast - Droning on, Strat Aero is so totally bust it is worth 0p

Interims from Strat Aero (AERO) today are dire. They show a company that was bust on June 30, one with zero earnings visibility and an ongoing cash burn. There is a lack profits warning and a tacit admission that a bailout placing is inevitable. I should cocoa. But even if there is a heavily discounted bailout this company is probably toast. The shares are worth 0p. SELL. This is, like most stocks promoted by the Sith Lord, Zak Mir, toast.

An Open Letter to the FCA & AIM Regulation - more fraud from African Potash, please widen investigation

I have already requested that the FCA and AIM Regulation investigate the deliberate way that investors were misled by African Potash PLC (AFPO) ahead of the January 12 2016 bailout placing with an RNS on December 1 2015 as you can see here. Now evidence is emerging of an even bigger deception in an RNS on January 6 2016 just six days before a bailout placing. I have thus written to both the FCA and AIM Regulation asking both to widen their investigation into both Potash and also Nomad Cantor Fitzgerald and its lead QE, Mr Stewart Dickson. This is a clear case of Securities fraud.

African Potash telling Porkies AGAIN? - Bailout placing ahoy: Sell!

On 6th January 2016 African Potash (AFPO) announced a major sales deal. Six days later it got away a bailout placing. Gradually over the months that followed that sales deal was shown to be bogus, a sham, not worth the loo paper it was written on. But at least the ramp allowed this AIM Casino posterboy to get its placing away. Now the bastards are at it again. 30 seconds on Google is enough to make you doubt a word this company says as it tries to get another bailout placing away. African is teetering on the verge of insolvency.

One imagines Cleverley wants a bailout placing asap but who would be mad enough to get involved?

Tom Winnifrith Bonus Bearcast - RNS from Servision today was bollocks, so was the last one - this company is bust

This is not hard. The RNS from Servision (SEV) today is designed to ramp the shares ahead of a rescue bailout placing. It is bollocks if you add up the numbers. So too was the last RNS by the way. I have reported this POS to the FRC for dodgy revenue recognition policies, it almost certainly now has negative net current assets and is burning cash. There is a bailout placing looming and you should sell now. This company deserves to, and could well, go bust.

Goudron Bollocks from LGO as it tries to ramp as £5 million rescue placing struggles

Five days ago we revealed that David Lenigas himself was trying to arrange a £5 million bailout placing for insolvent LGO Energy (LGO) which would see Jabba go back on the board and hapless CEO Neil Ritson pushed into the long grass a couple of months later. We have emails from broker Dowgate to potential investors explaining Jabba's plans and saying that the placing would close well before the end of last week. There has been no RNS. Clearly - and not surprisingly - the placement is struggling big time and so LGO has today released ramptastic bollocks from Goudron to try to spoof punters into backing the bailout.
