Well done musicMagpie: bailout bid from AO World at 9.07p in cash, Minus 96% since 2021 IPO

I have to hand it to Steve Oliver and his team at musicMagpie (MMAG), this is a result. Given that Magpie is drowning in debt and burning cash, the alternative to a bid was insolvency so persuading AO World (AO) to pay anything at all for the equity is a triumph. AO could have simply approached Magpie’s banks bought the det, almost certainly at a discount, and seized control. But perhaps this is less disruptive. Having said this is a triumph…

musicMagpie – how long shall we keep pretending?

Back in November, agents for musicMagpie (MMAG) leaked to the hapless gophers on the Daily Telegraph that it had received bid approaches from both BT and Aurelius Investment Advisory Ltd and as gerbils in chatrooms yakked about a 40p per share bid (or more!) the company started a formal offer process. By 27th both BT and Aurelius had stated they were not interested. However…

I start with a question: £100 + 3 points or a speed awareness course by Zoom? Then I look at the track record of the new bird CEO at BT (BT.A) and ask why she is worth £1.1 million ( plus up to 200% bonus) a year? Then Wandisco (WAND), Chill Brands (CHLL), Optibiotix (OPTI), Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) and IOG (IOG)

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: the stink of corrupt journalism and Jeff Prestridge and the shocking scandal at R4E

Yes it is corrupt to claim that with 60 articles a year you are chasing Neil Woodford when you were for two decades his greatest cheerleader on Fleet Street. Jess Press-trip ignored ALL the warnings and kept on urging Mail on Sunday readers to average down on Woodford funds. He should hold his head in shame. He demands transparency over Woodford, I demand transparency from him so have 4 questions the loathsome reptile will not answer. I also look at bent PR led journalism at the Sunday Times ref BT (BT.) Then it is onto Reach4Entertainment (R4E) where the FCA and AIM Regulation should be all over the company, its CEO Marc Boyan and chairman Lord Grade.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Winnileaks vindicated in spades today..whatever criminal Aidan says

Criminal Aidan Earley says thatmy work destroys great British Companies. That is what Rob Terry used to say too. What is the difference between those two fraudsters? About £50 million and so far only one has served time. I discuss Winnileaks triumphs today on Advanced Oncotherapy (AVO) and Strat Aero (AERO) and why they vindicated my work so much. Then I look at BT (BT.A), Rosslyn Data (RDT), Cloudtag (CTAG), Sunrise Resources (SRES) and LGO Energy (LGO).

He is my friend and he is a very funny and intelligent chap. He is now branching out to celebrate his 158th by doing some freelance writing over at TradingResearchPoint on FTSE 350 Income stocks. Robert is a speaker at the UKInvestor Show on April 13th. He is a great one for focussing on yield. RSS today looks at BT.
