Nate Anderson of Hindenburg serves up a reminder of why anyone owning Genflow Biosciences is off the scale insane

My bearishness about Standard Listed Genflow Biosciences (GENF) started the day of its January 2022 IPO at 8p. The shares are now just 1.5p. The company was created by convicted pump and dump penny share fraudster Ron Bauer and his long time known associate Adrian Beeston who still – they claim- own 20% with an effective in price of 0.2p. Bauer is wanted on new charges in the US and faces 85 years in the slammer if, again, found guilty as you can see HERE.

Andrew Bell you don’t half talk hogwash

Writing as a loyal shareholder in Red Rock Resources (RRR), if only to remind me of what an idiot I can be, I am waiting for our new consultant, Mr. David Lenigas to weave his magic wand of value creation, that is to say penny share ramping. Pro tem we have death spiral news and complete bullshit from Andrew Bell.

Worthless Valereum: shares unsuspended and the new board comes out swinging for Richard Poulden

Oh dear. Oh dear. Do you remember when the brown envelope man Zak Mir and penny share promoter Dave Lenigas debated whether Valereum Blockchain (VLRM) shares were worth 100p or 200p as they ramped ahead of a placing? Valereum now, finally, admits that the reason it could not buy the joke Gibraltar Stock Exchange is that it could not raise enough cash to satisfy regulators at the GFSC. That deal is off, the shares are unsuspended and have fallen to just 2p and the new board is now going after former boss Richard Poulden

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Upland admits the 14p, £166m, bid was a complete scam - vindication for the Master of penny share fraud busting

I was on a road trip yesterday so only noticed the after hours ‘fess up late in the evening. Upland’s shares will be destroyed, it is a complete vindication of my coverage and some folks should be going to jail if the FCA, regulator of the Standard List, launches a criminal enquiry as it must do. Upland Resources (UPL) management are – at best – guilty of criminal naivete and negligence, To show that they are not part of a criminal conspiracy, perhaps involving the tweet below, they should be demanding an FCA enquiry – I hope you followed my short advice as these shares will, as I predicted, collapse like a failed souffle on Monday.

Tirupati – the killer words buried deep down in today’s statement

Today’s trading statement from Tirupati Graphite (TGR), a company that has seen two NEDS quit in the past three months, seems upbeat. Paid penny share promoters Alliance News headlines its regurgitation “Tirupati Graphite says interim performance “significantly ahead””. So why are the shares puking? Could it be that Alliance News has hired the BBC’s Israel team for some bent news coverage?

Britain's leading gold analyst takes to twitter with his usual understated and utterly objective analysis

I insisted it needed a raise, Big Dave said that I did not know what I was talking about. Well guess what, guess who was right and who was wrong and should be sending a case of Metaxa to the Sheriff?

Ex paywall: More Acquisitions AGM – Deadline July 5 for Proxies: VOTE AGAINST ALL RESOLUTIONS

Holliday is far from an angel, as I have noted here a number of times but if you believe in shareholder democracy you should back him 100%. If you own shares in More, this is what to do:

Hoppo should be ashamed. Then I look at Anglesey Mining (AYM), Zephyr Energy (ZPHR ) – hard cheese Cliff – Powerhouse Energy (PHE), Boohoo (BOO), where there is no ouzo for Ouzo man, and nanosynth (NNN) which has gone bust so meaning a vindication ouzo for me tonight and more shame on penny share grifter, brown envelope man, Zak Mir.

VINDICATED YET AGAIN: Versarien bailout placing fails to hit targets, death postponed by only 2 months (at most!)

This is so simple that even the most moronic or Bulletin Board morons or spiv, Scouse, penny share grifter, share promoters should get it: companies do not set out to raise £531,624 (gross) in a deeply discounted placing. They go for a round number. A company running on vapours raising a non round number and way below what it had the authorities to raise is a sign that only forward sellers and flippers were interested. I refer to Versarien (VRS). Its latest placing is a disaster.

Well, as of the publication of this article, they cannot claim NOT to be aware. Big Dave created the cash guzzling monster that is UK Oil and has now seized control of Standard Listed Pennpetro (PPP), immediately signing farm in deals with his old gopher Lyin’ Steve Sanderson of UK Oil & Gas regarding Horse Hill.

At 4.45 PM on Friday after everyone had buggered off to the boozer, UK finally snuck out its annual results for the year to 30 September. Guess what it was hiding?

With normal companies and normal investors, one assumes that if a big stockholder has been selling you will see a TR1. But in some cases you would be wrong for making such assumptions. You will remember that Genflow Bioscences (GENF) was created for the Standard list by convicted penny share pump and dump fraudster Ron Bauer and his “known associate” Adrian Beeston. After the IPO at 8p in January of this year family Beeston and Bauer held c20% of the equity. Today the shares slumped to just 1.9p

More Ramptastic tweeting from David Lenigas on Valereum (minus 63% in three months)

David Lenigas is to ramptastic tweeting what Colin Bird is to pre placing pumps. He just cannot help himself. Today’s special is a picture of two men in late middle age standing in a tax haven shaking hands. Apparently this is very significant for Aquis lobster pot listed Valereum (VLRM), the crypto play pumped to 80p three months ago as the shameless chartist turned penny share stock promoter Zak Mir called it up to £2,  That helped it get away a £1 million placing at 70p. Its shares now trade at 29p but even that is still a staggering 20 times net assets for this loss making business. Maybe three men could shake hands tomorrow in some tax dodging location and that would be even more significant, eh Dave?

Creightons - a penny share buy

Having exceeded 40p in 2017, shares in Creightons (CRL) fell to below 20p early this year following a trading update including that “the group has outsourced supply of some branded products lines. This has impacted upon the profit margins of these lines. Therefore, the board has concluded that the full year profit before tax is likely to be marginally lower than last year”. However, that was because of “demand out-pacing capacities in our factories ahead of planned expansion in manufacturing capacities”. Despite late June-announced results having shown profit actually slightly ahead and including that investment in personnel and equipment “has been successful with all previously outsourced manufacturing brought back in house by the end of May”, the shares have only recovered to a current 28p offer price…

Anyone buying the stock in the market is being exploited shamelessly as I shall detail below.

The shock warning from the auditors came out on December 31st. Yup, New Year’s Eve when no-one was paying attention. I try to watch this company like a hawk but I missed it. The statement is pretty clear:

Sefton – Why did your Nomad Resign? The short case now unanswerable

AIM Listed oil producer Sefton Resources (SER) has made two announcements today. I shall turn to its operational guff later but I start with news that (yet again) it has changed its Nomad – its adviser on AIM matters. This is critical and I have exclusive news on this – this change was not entirely voluntary. For the avoidance of doubt these shares remain more or less worthless and at 1.65p are a stonking short. Target price 0.01p. At best. Now to the Nomad.

1Spatial – CEO Chat & Assessment

I met up with Marcus Hanke the CEO of red hot penny share tech stock 1Spatial (SPA) yesterday for a detailed catch up. This company – formerly known as Avisen – has been a tale of woe for investors. Not because it has screwed up operationally but because in share price terms the stock has not performed. I will address both issues in turn but at 2p, valuing the company at £7 million, the shares are a compelling buy.

JJB Sports - do not waste your cash, c0p ahead

JJB Sports (JJB) shares now trade at 0.32p valuing the company at just under £1 million. Quite amazingly there are still a few prize loons out there who think this Aim listed retailer is some sort of penny share punt and are “buying for recovery.” They are mad. This stock is utterly worthless and if you can realise enough after trading costs by selling what shares you have you should do so even at this price. This is not a call to short, I imagine that it is very hard to do so but I cannot see how the end game here is much different from 0p.
