  • Episode 44 (3/11/2024) - UK Small & Mid Caps with Paul Scott
    Nov 3 2024

    This week was totally dominated by the Budget, with this week's Small Cap Value Reports (on Stockopedia) giving extensive coverage & interesting reader comments debating the pros & cons. Overall, I think the removal of uncertainty in many areas now allows businesses and individuals to plan ahead again, and I'm positive on the potential for an autumn/winter recovery in small caps, which often starts around this time of year.

    As usual, nothing is advice, these are just my personal opinions, which are sometimes right, and sometimes wrong - because nobody can reliably predict the future!

  • Episode 43 (27/10/2024) - UK Small & Mid Caps with Paul Scott
    Oct 27 2024

    Press reporting suggests a substantial hike in employers NICs could be announced on this coming Wed 30 Oct's budget. I crunch some numbers, which demonstrate that retail and especially hospitality could be facing significant falls in profit, hence maybe best avoided until the dust has settled?

    Expect carnage if they cut AIM's IHT exemption, or a big rebound if they don't! Place your bets ...


    Lots of companies reporting again, with 5 profit warnings, 8 GREENs (things we like the most), and 7 AMBER/GREENs (moderately positive).


    As always, please remember I'm only giving my personal, fallible opinions here. You must do your own more detailed research, and not rely on my views, as they will sometimes be right, but sometimes wrong, and nobody knows what the future holds.

  • Episode 42 (delayed from w/e 18/10/24) - UK small/mid caps with Paul Scott
    Oct 26 2024

    Sorry this is a week late. I rattle through 51 companies reporting between 14-18 Oct 2024. As always we find some potentially interesting ideas (remember we're only doing quick reviews, you need to do your own much more detailed research, hence why nothing is recommendations, just quick opinions).


    We're all waiting for the Budget, in case investors get clobbered. If not as bad as feared, then hopefully we could see buyers snap up UK small cap bargains.

  • Episode 41 (12/10/2024) - UK Small/Mid Caps with Paul Scott
    Oct 12 2024

    I have a good rant about "trading updates" that don't even state if the company is ahead/in line/below market expectations. We need clearer, more honest reporting, not increased PR obfuscation!

    As always, my work is independent (my opinions cannot be bought!), but also fallible, since we cover so much ground and might not necessarily spot all the detail. Hence it is essential that you must do your own more detailed research. Our opinions are just that, they are never advice, nor recommendations, and are subject to change when the facts change, as they frequently do.

    Usual stuff! My personal opinions only, never advice. As we wait for the Budget on 30/10/2024 AIM seems wobbly. 7 profit warnings this week.

    Sep 28 2024

    Sorry it's so long, but there was masses of stuff to cover!

    As usual these are just my personal, strictly independent opinions. I don't take any money from any listed companies, as my views are not for sale!

    Please always do your own more detailed research, because our views are certainly not infallible, and we only do quick reviews. Also we're not time travellers from the future, so we don't know what the future holds, it's just guesswork for everyone.

    Sep 21 2024

    Lots of brief comments, due to the sheer volume of H1 results out this week. A few little gems buried in the mass of mostly "in line" performance.

    As always, just my personal opinions, never advice, as you must do your own more detailed research.
