Audioboom – adjusted EBITDA, bodged bullshit earnings and oodles of jam tomorrow

Oh dear, oh dear, its another bleak morning for poor Gary Newman who I know was tempted by this to help diversify his portfolio away from his beloved Horizonte Minerals (HZM). Another day and its another dire statement from Audioboom (BOOM). At this rate poor Gary will need to start eating the roach and chub he catches at the weekend.

Bushveld - here's why your 27% stake in Vametco won't generate a cent of cash for the PLC this year and next - placing ahoy

.Bushveld Minerals (BMN) shareholders, aka the dumbest fucks on AIM, are still largely in denial about the fact that a major placing is imminent. This is because they do not understand the difference between profit and cashflow or indeed much else about basic accounts. I will try again. Owning 27% of a company with modest EBITDA (bullshit earnings) is not the same as having a source of cashflow. In fact I bet you an ounce of Vanadium that Vametco will not generate a free cent for Bushveld this year or next.

Of course our starting point is HERE. The auditors noting that AS AT MID AUGUST 2017 the company needed to raise fresh equity pronto to keep the lights on.
