Another Avacta shareholder trolling, defaming and showing just how dumb and nasty is ModernAngel

What is it about Avacta (AVCT) that attracts the nastiest and stupidest folks in Britain to its shareholder list? When you, as a bear, are up against cretins with an IQ of a park bench you know you are onto a winner. Meet ModernAngel another coward tweeting behind a made up name.

Avacta: more lack of meaningful progress news, slowly the warnings dawn on the gerbils

The latest update from Avacta (AVCT) on its AVA 6000 product should serve as a reminder that this is going absolutely nowhere and, on that basis, just how ludicrously overpriced the stock is.

Avacta: smell the desperation of paid for research

A company the size of Avacta (AVCT) should not need grubby paid for research. It should have institutional research for institutional investors. But Avacta’s share price is driven by Joe Retail and Joe Retail is getting very bored.

Now really is a good time to short Avacta, its shareholder base is terribly naive

I started writing about biotech and emerging pharma stocks more than 30 years ago when I was at the Investors Chronicle. The army of PI cheerleaders for Avacta (AVCT) probably have not heard of British Biotech, a £2 billion blow up, of ML Labs a half a billion blow up. Almost thirty years ago I exposed both companies for the overvalued crocks they were and also for the way that they duped investors with misleading releases

But it is and on twitter it seems to happen about 20 times a day. Yesterday one star tweeter was a shareholder in Canadian Overseas Petroleum (COPL)

Yes I refer to this one. Outside the paywall it will not earn me a cent but if it effects change, that is to say forcing Lush not to side with the Jew haters at a time like this, then that is what I became a journalist to do. It is pleasing to see my story now appearing today in the MSM, my job on this one is done. On the podcast I look at Avacta (AVCT) – statement needed – Regtech Open (RTOP) – ditto – Upland Resources (UPL) – ditto -  Eneraqua (ETP) and in detail at Amaroq (AMRQ) where i averaged up a few weeks ago and see the shares doubling from here.

Letter to AIM Regulation: Stifel and Avacta just cannot say this in an RNS

I have written to the Oxymorons, more in hope than expectation, suggesting that AIM Regulation sanction Nomad Stifel and Avacta (AVCT) for issuing an RNS that makes a claim that cannot be backed up. I realise that Avacta needs to do a placing in the next few months but even so this is more than naughty. This is not about me or Avacta but about whether AIM wants to apply its own rules.

Avacta – time to go short again as countdown to another attempt by Stifel to do a placing is surely underway

Thanks so much to all who have donated. You ALL have an open invite to the camp. If you have forgotten to sponsor my last walk you can do so HERE. Then I talk about Avacta (AVCT) its placing I exposed yesterday HERE (might it, in fact, be lower than 90p?) and the denial and stupidity of some of its shareholders. Then I point out that Nigel would have made more money selling all his gold and switching into pasta and cat food ( or even tins of baked beans) so ask can he really still view the yellow metal as a store of value? .

UPDATED: Avacta – valuation is surely still bonkers

I am a perma bear of Avacta (AVCT). I don’t rate its management and am sure the feeling is mutual. But the valuation is bonkers. I was bearish ahead of the placing in December in which Avacta tried to raise £15 million but raised only £9 million. I think the acquisition of Launch financed by a death spiral was crackers but for a while I was whistling in the wind as the shares were ramped to 183p. They are now back at 113p but that is still a nutso valuation.

BREAKING: Avacta lies as placing raises less than it tried for, takes out £55 million death spiral

When not working out how to bankrupt me with a cunning Greek plan, the morons insisted that there was no placing coming from Avacta (AVCT). Well here we go, time to apologise morons. Today Avacta has raised £7 million at 95p and hopes that an open offer will bring in another £2 million and says “The Company consulted with a number of its major shareholders prior to the Placing and is pleased by the support it has received from both existing and new shareholders.”. I can reveal that is a big fat lie. Two folks who were made insiders havie confirmed that Avacta wanted to raise £15 million but could not. So to say it is “pleased” is just a lie. It gets worse.

I also comment on THG (THG), Cineworld (CINE), Tintra (TNT), Versarien (VRS) and then on the bursting of the Covid testing bubble with particular reference to Omega Diagnostics (ODX), Avacta (AVCT) and Novacyt (NCYT) which has its own BIG question to answer. Plus, of course, MyHealthChecked (MHC). I reference vaccination and covid rates in Israel in the podcast which is covered in more detail HERE.

Avacta: a double disaster, shares slump but, even so, now in my top 5 Covid testing sells

Oh dear. How sad. Never Mind. The Covid testing bubble is bursting and an admission this morning from Avacta (AVCT) is even more of a disaster than a 27% share price slump suggests. This collapse is only just beginning and will spread across the sector, so completely vindicating we cynics of stocks such as Abingdon (ABDX), Omega Diagnostics (ODX) and others. As a bear, preparing to crack out a celebratory ouzo, Let me explain.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast - filling in another fecking form for Greece

That wasted an hour of my life but it looks like all systems go for Saturday when Steve Moore will be in charge of this website while Joshua and I head to the Greek Hovel. In today’s podcast I look at bitcoin’s latest dump and Argo Blockchain (ARB) and at Dev Clever (DEV) and its joke acquisition. That required a bit of work for me at Companies House as did researching today’s smoke and mirrors deal from Remote Monitored Systems (RMS) – how did Nomad SP Angel sign off on this cobblers? I then look at Avacta (AVCT), Zoetic (ZOE), MyHealthChecked (MHC), Bidstack (BIDS) and the fraud Supply@ME Capital (SYME). Where are its results?

Avacta makes some progress on missing the Covid boat – shares slide but valuation still bonkers

Today, from AstraZeneca (AZN) and the City of lost causes, we have news on a third vaccine against Covid-19. There will soon be a fourth and a fifth and at some stage lots of folks will ignore concerns about potential long term side effects to get vaccinated against a disease which kills 0.05% of those under 70 who catch it. And a bedwetting world can breathe a sigh of relief and, even idiots like Matt Hancock, will realise that we will not need mass testing and we can get on with our lives.

Avacta shares have slumped, ahead lies collapse

As you may have gathered I have been a major sceptic of Government policies on Covid and not just in the UK. For a disease where the survival rate among under 70s is 99.95% and where the average age of death is greater than life expectancy itself, it seems to me that the policy response has been excessive and has caused and is causing utterly unjustified collateral damage.  But none the less we should all welcome news that Pfizer has a vaccine which works 90% of the time.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: 5 Private Investor High Fliers to crash by mid January

In today’s bearcast I report on a sad conclusion to the story I told of the potential suicide on Saturday HERE. Then on to Avacta (AVCT) and Manolete (MANO) before considering five PI darlings which could see their shares utterly crater before I turn 53 on January 12: Supply@ME Capital (SYME), Novacyt (NCYT), Versarien (VRS), Bidstack (BIDS) and Eurasia Mining (EUA). In each case I explain the potential catalyst for the collapse.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: A sincere and heartfelt apology to that brilliant analyst Mr David Lenigas

It is now only four days to my 7th Wedding Anniversary. Given my track record I reckon that merits a round of applause. After you have finished the applause, I will apologise to Mr David Lenigas. If I have ever given the impression that he is a shameless ramper of worthless penny stocks, having considered his recent tweets on Wishbone Gold (WSBN) where my losses are now down to a mere £27,500, I would like to apologise. I now accept that Mr Lenigas provides quite brilliant and clear analysis of undervalued gold juniors and we should be profoundly grateful for his services. Elsewhere, I look at Avacta (AVCT), Novacyt (NCYT), Scancell (SCLP), Rurelec (RUR) and Amigo (AMGO).

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: I will appear in court for PWC if asked to defend £63m joke Quindell claim

I start with a few notes on Covid hysteria, referring you to my earlier piece on perceived death rates HERE but also to research showing how pointless wearing face nappies is HERE. I look at R4E (R4E) and how Richard Jennings asks me to explain why Dr Green’s valuation of Bluebird Merchant (BMV) is a joke. I am a Good German and oblige. The shares, which I own, are – I believe – very cheap, but the analysis of Green is piss poor. Indeed it is so piss poor that the journalist-smearing old bastard should be fired at once. I look at Watchstone (WTG), Quindell as was, and its £63 million claim against PriceWaterhouseCoopers filed in the High Court today. I shall happily give evidence for PWC. I comment on Avacta (AVCT), Versarien (DOG), and Red Emperor (RMP).

Avacta – so what?

Even where the Government is testing like the blazes to cover its arse and con us into believing that its coronavirus response was sensible and proportionate, it is struggling to find cases. In the new “hotspot” of Blackburn where there is mass testing the cases are just 77 per 100,000. And nearlly all of them are asymptomatic so would not have known they had Covid had they not been tested.This testing is not saving any lives.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast - the dynamite admission to sink Avacta, Novacyt et al

Thanks for your kind words on MineProphets, the videos will stay up for another six months HERE. I will be doing another MineProphets show on December 5.  This podcast looks at the dynamite mea culpa from PHE and why that makes it game over for Avacta (AVCT), Novacyt (NCYT) and the other cronabollocks stocks. Then I look at the naivety of Suzanne Evans and  the political media class about capitalism, creative destruction, housing, commercial property and job losses.

Avacta, yet more Coronabollocks ramping but it is not working

Our response to Coronavirus divides us ever more. I argue that wrecking the world economy will cause untold misery and was the wrong response to a virus that largely polished off fplks who were already on St Peter’s short list for a fairly imminent interview. For this I am  branded “irresponsible” by one reader today while others accuse me of callously wishing to deny many more years of happy and active life to their 95 year old grandparents or parents. So what if deaths across Europe are falling to sod all, the lockdown jihadists warn of an imminent second wave. But deaths, even in the US, are falling. This pandemic is tailing off which is a problem if you are Avacta (AVCT)

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Happy to help corpulent Neill Ricketts, I suggest some excuses he can use

Sorry this is late. I have been distracted by the mad world we live in so musing too much on www.TomWinnifrith.com and tomorrow Joshua and I try to bust out of lockdown Wales, like the – now erased from history – Dukes of Hazzard, to visit my Dad so limited copy from me then. Ahead of that I discuss Avacta (AVCT), Versarien (VRS), Sound Energy (SOU), Cineworld (CINE) whose managers I despise, and UK Oil & Gas (UKOG). Okay I am not firing Darren tonight, you can now book your MineProphets tickets HERE

Avacta: more non news on the Covid horse that has already bolted ahead of more spiv selling tomorrow

With shares in Avacta (AVCT) ludicrously overvalued at 138p the company rightly fears that when the second tranche of stock from the recent placing at 120p is admitted to the AIM Casino tomorrow there will be a line of folks wanting to flip. What to do? Of course, get your evil morally bankrupt PR spinners at Yellow Jersey to issue complete non news and make it sound exciting. Heck Yellow Jersey managed to persuade suckers to pile into mega and obvious fraud Frontera (FRR) so they can push any shite uphill. For a while at least.

More bollocks from Avacta excites Barry “The Tit” Gibb at Turner Pope but in the real world this is a bonkers ramp

I see that Barry “The Tit” Gibb at broker Turner Pope has produced a gushing note on Avacta (AVCT ) today. Maybe that will help a few more Turner Pope clients to flip the stock they got in the recent 120p placing. Or maybe The Tit just wants a distraction from wittering an about Tomco (TOM), shares in which remain suspended although it has, today, been forced to admit that its RNS that accompanied a Turner Pope placing yesterday, contained a massive porky.  Back to Avacta, when your cheerleader in chief is “The Tit” you know it is right to be bearish.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: the Great news is that NoGold has not died of Coronavirus

I bring you the good news that No Gold is alive then discuss Intu (INTU), Frontera Resources (FRR), Avacta (AVCT), the merger of Bahamas Petroleum (BPC) and Columbus Energy (CERP) and Anglo African Oil & Gas (AAOG).

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Do not think that Telit crooks Yosi Fait and Oozi Cats are off the hook at the FCA

Another 12km training walk with my daughter looms and the little snowflake is bound to bleat as the skies darken. I will not enjoy the rain much either. So, as I suffer, please donate that tenner (or more) you know you want to give to Rogue Bloggers for Woodlarks HERE. I look in detail at Sosandar (SOS), Mercantile Ports (MPL), Avacta (AVCT), Novacyt (NCYT) and Open Orphan (ORPH) setting new price targets for all three and then discuss the crooks at Telit (TCM) as the FCA concludes its corporate enquiry.

Avacta flogs a dead Covid horse to no avail

When you have just raised £48 million of dumb money you cannot turn around a week later and scream SUCKERS! No. You have to pretend that the reason your shares raced away and that the fools piled in greedily is still valid. But it is not, and at some stage, Avacta (AVCT) will have to admit as much.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: who will win the US election this year and why it matters

You may not like my joy at Donald Trump beating crooked Hillary Clinton in 2016 but I called the vote correctly and explained in detail how and why I thought The Donald would win. It matters big time for equity investors who wins the General Election in November but also who triumphs in House and Senate races. I offer up my first detailed thoughts. Then I look at Amigo (AMGO), Intu (INTU), Novacyt (NCYT), Avacta (AVCT) and Open Orphan (ORPH). Finally, we are now at an amazing 65% of our keep Woodlarks alive rogue bloggers appeal target.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Strawberry fields forever coming later but first some sheer insanity

I promise you pictures of my 99 now planted strawberry plants later and I also have good news from the orchard. Yesterday my daughter and I managed just 17 laps of the fields ( 20km) here at the Welsh Hovel for reasons I explain but I shall do 45 laps in six days time to raise the £48,000 Woodlarks needs to survive. We are now at 64% of target, please, please make a donation HERE. then I look at the insanity gripping equities. I am now turning less bullish and explian why, looking at Hertz, Intu (INTU), Avacta (AVCT0 and a number of other situations. I refer to my premium video with Matt Earl here.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: daring to consider the chances of being killed by lightning in America

I start with a few thoughts on the protests and riots following the murder of an African American man by a cop. I offer up some hard data which makes me ask whether the riots can be justified. I stress that, as someone who goes to sleep with a person of colour every night and with a mixed race son, I do think that black lives matter, including those six black lives now taken by US rioters . I comment on Woodlarks where we are now at 55% of target so please please make a donation today HERE. Then I look at Avacta (AVCT), Novacyt (NCYT), Intu (INTU), President Energy (PPC) and Curzon Energy (CZN).

Is Malcolm Stacey Edith Piaf? Avacta £45m fund raise at 120p, including Primary Bid

A week ago, Malcolm Stacey could have sold his shares in Avacta (AVCT) at more than 200p each. In fact I think the old trading genius might just have done that. Then the company started “sounding out” investors about a fund raise and, not that anyone in London ever breaks insider dealing laws so this is a total coincidence, the shares started tumbling fast. As I write they are off by 5p at 132-5p as it has announced am up to £45 million fund raise at 120p. I don’t blame it.

I also look at British Land (BLND) which I inadvertently refer to as Land Securities (LAND) in the podcast and commercial property in general.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: TrakM8's numbers are so unclear they really could turn a man to drink

I start with my excitement about the video I have just recorded with Carson Block of Muddy Waters for the Shareprophets shares show. Lawyers alert!. It was brilliant stuff. I end by saying I recorded a PLC video for the show earlier.  I am incredibly tempted to buy the shares heavily. Anyhow both videos and 70 others will go live on May 9 so book your ticket HERE. In today’s podcast I look at Novacyt (NCYT), Avacta (AVCT) fake news in the Mail on Sunday, Urban Exposure (UEX) and in very real detail that old Thirsty Paul Scott fave TrakM8 (TRAK) where today’s numbers ring massive alarm bells.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: The prick that will burst the Novacyt, Avacta and other Covid test bubbles has arrived - timber!

I start with the defamatory and anti semitic blog attack on me from Bidstack (BIDS) owning loon which I rebutted yesterday HERE. I have now identified the author who is not as “she” claims a female investigative journalist but is a male Bulletin Board Moron. I shall expose his identity and also his close social media links to Bidstack boss Lyin James Draper, which “she” has been trying to hide this weekend, later. When, I wonder did “she” last swap ideas with Lyin’ James? Then I look at the prick which will burst the Coronavirus testing bubble on AIM. If you own shares in Novacyt (NCYT), Avacta (AVCT) or any of the other Covid test plays watch out! Finally, I am in despair at smug Sam Smith of FinnCrap (FCAP), La Horlick and various other women determined to see taxpayers cash spunked by Rishi Sunak on gender quota lines in his start up bailout scheme. This is insanity laid upon insanity. There is no such insanity at the ShareProphets Shares Show. I am busy making recordings for it every day now, please do book your seats for May 9 HERE

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: This Avacta valuation is bonkers & when to sell gold

I start with me reporting myself to the FCA as supporters of fraud and or corporate lying act like clowns once again. I discuss quite how scandalous it is that Legoland owner Merlin should get a cent of taxpayer cash. Then it is onto Avacta (AVCT) and gold stocks. Should we be banking gains? On the former I suggest yes on the latter I think not but offer a few notes of caution. Today is a day when I really start recording videos and podcasts for the ShareProphets Shares conference. I have just done a stormer with James Delingpole. It is now just two weeks away so book your seat now HERE.
