I've been looking at Beeks Financial #BKS since 2020. This growing tech company has a global moat and a bright new product pipeline. But is this a good entry point in terms of valuation? I explore in my latest deep dive article. boonfund.substack.com/p/beek…

My latest writeup on 4 shares - #TPT #YOU #BGO #CCT Two of them I've sold from my portfolio☹️. One I still hold and it is 📈. The last is rather intriguing! A little bit more research here could validate it as a multi-bagger 🚀. boonfund.substack.com/p/youg…

My latest buy: Portmeirion #PMP Interest mix of shareholders: Lord Lee and some activist type funds. After a -50% crash, deeply discounted fundraising, and currently trading at a huge discount to TNAV.... Intrigued? See why I think 4 imminent catalysts will cause a re-rating.

An update as of 16:50hrs. The turnout for the 'Unite the Kingdom' protest was too big to fit into Whitehall. Protesters left the route onto Victoria Embankment and sought to access Whitehall from multiple directions as shown on the map below. When officers moved in to stop them they faced unacceptable violence. They were assaulted with kicks and punches. Bottles, flares and other projectiles were thrown. Nine arrests have been made so far for various offences, but many more people have been identified as committing offences. We will find them and they will face police action, even if it is not possible to do so today. Officers are continuing to face aggression in multiple locations, in particular at the north of Whitehall as they work to create a safe exit route for those who have been taking part in the Stand Up To Racism protest.

Profit warnings: are they possible to predict? I explore this topic with an example of a nasty -30% drop recently in Sosandar, to see if the warning signs were there. #SOS $SOS.L boonfund.substack.com/p/spot…

My latest weekly roundup of shares I looked at! Interestingly, there is a nuclear play, an EV play, and also a liquid asset play out of these three companies... #IOF #ART #SCE $IOF.L $ART.L $SCE.L #buzzwordbingo boonfund.substack.com/p/shar…

I recently bought James Cropper #CRPR as I think it is way too cheap given its solid TNAV, USA manufacturing, and a division that might be worth multiple the market cap. My full analysis: boonfund.substack.com/p/jame…

My Q1 fund performance. Down -1% for YTD. Disappointing overall, not matching the FTSE All-Share, but beating the FTSE250 and AIM100 comfortably. My Buys & Sells this quarter inside as well! boonfund.substack.com/p/q1-2…

Bought back into Camellia #CAM $CAM.L after selling out in Jan24. It was a good call. Shares have done nothing in a year. But, now things are afoot. Big subsidiary now sold for $100m (market cap £139m). Trading way below conservative NTAV. My full note: substack.com/profile/1246540…

Gem Diamonds #GEMD $GEMD.L missed the webinar, but I've dug into the new Life of Mine plan. There's good and bad news unfortunately, despite the big headline of massive decrease in future costs. My full take here: substack.com/profile/1246540…

I wrote about Inspired $INSE.L #INSE last week in my weekly recap. Reading today’s Trading Update, I am puzzled by the shares up +19%. I thought it was pretty dire. The face value was positive, but reading between the lines... Read full note: substack.com/profile/1246540…

SOLD: On The Beach #OTB $OTB.L I’ve now sold my holding on Monday, as I’ve started working for them since Tuesday, which would have meant long trade blackout periods. It was a good 30% gain, having bought in at 126p in May23. Results out next week.

I recently looked at these three shares. All have quite bearish investor sentiment for a while - but is the tide about to turn? #INSE $INSE.L #AAF $AAF.L #TRC $TRC.L Link: boonfund.substack.com/p/shar…
