The collapse of Scottish housebuilder Stewart Milne: a canary in the coalmine or a one off?

217 former workers at Milne will not really be bothered as to why their employer has gone bust. They start the New Year in the corrupt Greece of the North, the socialist wannabee republic of Scotland looking for a new job. Is this a sign of worse to come in the housebuilding sector, so beloved of my colleague Malcolm Stacey?

The collapse of Deeepverge Part 2 – is Microsaic also toast? Of course it is given the curse of Brandon

Earlier I suggested that today’s news means that Deepverge (DVRG) is a slam dunk zero and by the time the last rites are read, it is clear that those owed money will not get it all back. And that brings me to fellow AIM POS Microsaic (MSYS) , run by Gerry “the pustule” Brandon, the man who made Deepverge the company it is today. Nigel Burton who is now CEO of Deepverge also sits on the Microsaic board and the two company’s also share a broker: Turner Pope.

Neill Ricketts is the real victim of the collapse of Versarien, says .... Neill Ricketts

Shares in Versarien (VRS) now linger at just over 10p. Just over four years ago they were 182p. Some folks have lost 94% of their money. Many more who believed the promises of jam tomorrow and the outright deceit of boss Neill Ricketts, a man who himself is the largest shareholder having invested a paltry £4,000 for his shares. He has taken out millions in salary, bonuses ( for what FFS?) and by dumping shares as he urged others to buy. So who does Neill Ricketts say is the real victim here? Guess…

Video: the bond market collapse will be catastrophic

David Haggith, the publisher of “The Great Recession Blog” is a cheery fellow. He started his website twelve years ago, shortly after the housing bubble. He invented the term the epocalypse, which stands for ‘economic apocalypse’ that will be epic in scope. You could also call it the second great depression. He says, “For the last two years I’ve been extremely accurate.” The corona crisis brought massive amounts of money printing. The Fed can no longer print enough to support the equity markets. We’re going to have plenty of economic breakdowns and damage. It’s hard for people to grasp the rate of change that is occurring.

Is Bracknor spoofing investors to postpone the collapse of the Advanced Oncotherapy death spiral?

Death spiral provider Bracknor does not buy shares in companies. It loans the desperate, cash at pound of flesh rates which it then converts into shares at discounted rates and flogs to mug punters. That is the classic death spiral model. But to get such a death spiral away it needs a perception of market liquidity and also to avoid a complete short term collapse of the share price. And that brings us to Advanced Oncotherapy (AVO).

EXCLUSIVE: Northern Petroleum: Argentine Unit heading for bankruptcy court - when was it going to tell investors?

And there was I thinking that if AIM listed companies had bad news they had to issue an RNS? Well maybe Chris Cleverley has re-drafted the rule book because Northern Petroleum (NOP) seems in no rush to fess up to the impending collapse of its Argentine subsidiary.

Tom Winnifrith Postcard: Crooked Hillary Clinton collapse - her lies & prospects and a bad day for the lying liberal media elites

For months and months some of us have stated that Crooked Hillary Clinton has a health issue and have been dismissed as right wing lunatics by the mainstream liberal media. After yesterday's 9/11 collapse are we owed an apology. We aren't getting one. The mainstream press is in denial and is still buying the spin and lies from the Clinton team even as they contradict themselves. But America is not buying it anymore. It's a dark day for the media but a darker day for the loathsome Hillary. What happens next?

Bingo Bango Bongo - WTF is going on?

As you can see from our coverage HERE I have been a long term bear of Bango (BGO). As far as I can see it is just another jam tomorrow company run by utterly overpaid tossers. But even I am mystified by its share price collapse.
