On 7 September MedPal AI (MPAL) issued a RNS announcing some very strong revenue growth. But aren’t sales just vanity, what about cash?

The big scandal at biotech dog Aptamer (APTA) is how management have been handed options giving them, potentially, 25% of the equity at just 0.1p in a structure agreed when it was doing a placing at 0.6p c/o the scholars and gentlemen at Turner Pope. I outlined why this is grotesque and smells worse that Neill Ricketts' collection of used Gloucester Rugby Club jockstraps HERE. But there is worse.

Of course certain batshit crazy reporters at news organisations that cover up their role in a criminal enterprise to harass an investigative journalist exposing fraud think that AIM’s problems are caused by … the investigative journalist. But Aptamer (APTA) has news today which screams at investors to abandon the Casino. By way of background, shares in this “ developer of next-generation synthetic Optimer binders” , whatever that means, are at 0.4p down 62.27% YTD and 99.69% over 5 years since an IPO valuing this crock at £80.7 million. So, shareholders have been raped. On the other hand…

In 2023 Harry ”trougher” Adams earned £362,000 as executive chairman of Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI). In 2024, despite missing all operational and financial targets and diluting investors to buggery, Adams trousered £733,000 including a £75,000 cash bonus for his outstanding performance and £173,000 for having to work more than four days a week. So, on the day Adams awards himself yet more options and gives three hundred grand of free shares to his best mate, what about 2025?

The executive chairman of Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) has no idea quite how much ordinary shareholders who have risked their capital despise him and his cronies on the board. The last time a Kefi director actually bought a share was in 2022. In 2025 I’d wager that Harry "trough" Adams enjoyed a total package of more than $1 million and it will be even more thus time around. Just to rub salt into the wounds after diluting we mugs by 25% with a placing he said just 10 days prior was not needed… its option time.

Fat cat directors like to insist that options incentivize them and align their interests with we dirty shareholders. Its tosh. We risk our capital. The fat cats earn fat salaries and if the shares go up they have risk free upside. There is zero evidence that options make fat cats work harder or deliver greater returns. But what if the share price tanks?

I am happy with the news out of China. I think that shares in Probiotix (PBX) will at least double or treble on a three year view and could multibag. But an options plan announced today stinks. If directors could not deal in shares without insider dealing how could they set an options plan strike price?

Eurasia Mining (EUA) boss Christian Schaffalitzky exercised options over 6million shares at 0.42p. Those options would have lapsed today. There is nothing wrong with that is there. Surely there is!

A smattering of not that materially large share purchases by Argo Blockchain (ARB) PDMRs was announced today, together with news that big cheese Peter Wall has exercised options over 430,000 Ordinary Shares. The statement that follows, again, shows what a dick he is and why he is playing us all as fools.

Tomorrow, I shall tell you about a young man in despair, naming no names but what it says about this country. Today, I look at Powerhouse Energy (PHE) options and warrants, Zoltav Resources (ZOL), Sensyne (SENS), Supply@ME Capital (SYME), Parsley Box (MEAL), Deepverge (DVRG) and Chill Brands (CHLL).

On MyHeathChecked (MHC) I tidy up all the loose ends from yesterday’s options storm and i am confident that the greedy management have behaved in this way as the shares will head higher. On the fraud Zoetic (ZOE) I discuss the purchase of the domain name Chill.com and all the questions that throws up. I do know a bit about buying domain names and this is not what it seems. Then I cover the 2 questions that its financial adviser, Nick Harriss at Allenby and its scumbag PR Henry Harrison Topham will not respond to and which i will be taking up with the FCA tomorrow. It strikes me these are slam dunk rule breaches. Nick, at least, used to care about such matters.

No wonder ex boss Trevor Brown again sold every share he owned (as a result of exercising 1.4p options), dumping 24 million shares at 2.7p last Monday. Today Remote Monitored Systems (RMS) fesses up to more delays and lays bare more deceit from historic RNS’s. Brown is lucky in one respect.

I remember long ago doing a seminar with some CEO or other. I cannot remember who it was but it was one of the slugs operating at the lower end of the AIM Cesspit. I pondered whether his interests were aligned with those of ordinary shareholders: how many shares do you own? I asked.

With the shares hovering around 3p, anyone holding options in UK Oil & Gas (UKOG) exercisable at just 0.4p but expiring on 31 December 2017 would surely exercise the lot would he not?

Yesterday it was announced that Ryan Dinsdale, the CEO of Purplebricks Australia, on 13 December 2017 exercised options over 40,000 Ordinary Shares in Purplebricks PLC (PURP) at £1.29 each and subsequently sold 40,000 Ordinary Shares at £3.65 each. So what you say.

I am not sure who has these 70 million options but the bad news is that they lapse at the end of December....

Some folks think that handing out share options to senior staff is a cost free exercise and b) benefits all shareholders as it incentivizes the board and also aligns their interests with those of stockholders. Bollocks on all counts.

Scancell (SCLP) has today issued results for the six months to 31 October 2015 which is jam packed with scientific waffle which is - I am sure - all terribly exciting and might get some Bulletin Board Morons buying the stock. That would help as the hard numbers on cash don't lie. It is placing ahoy, Scancell cannot dodge this bullet forever.
