Arrow Exploration, AXL.

Struggling to hold above RSI 30.

Weak oil price, decline rates and warrants i think.

WH Smith, SMWH.

Profit warning, shares down around 40%.

Overstatement of around £30m of expected trading profit in North America. For the year to the end of August, the group now expects headline trading profit from the North America division to be about £25m, down from previous market expectations of approximately £55m.

As a result, full-year headline profit before tax and non-underlying items will be in the region of £110m, it said.

Dan Coatsworth, investment analyst at AJ Bell, said: "The latest update from WHSmith is nothing short of a disaster. The North American business is crucial to the company's growth ambitions and the loose thread of an accounting error in this part of the group will create concern about a potential greater unravelling to come.

Profit guidance for the American division has been cut by more than 50%, which will cause huge embarrassment to management. Investors will be sobbing into their cornflakes on the news."

Pulsar Helium, PLSR.

Accelerated bookbuild, the Company has raised gross proceeds of GBP 3,444,100. Net proceeds received pursuant to the Offering will be used to advance Pulsar’s flagship Topaz helium project in Minnesota, USA and for general working capital purposes.

Specifically, the Company intends to sign a new contract for drilling of up to 10 new appraisal wells, to further define the size and shape of the helium-bearing reservoir. Other activities to be funded from the net proceeds of the Offering within the coming 12 months include a preliminary economic assessment and resource update.

Eurozone Composite PMI Rises to 15-Month High:

The Eurozone flash composite PMI rose to 51.1 in August from 50.9 in July and above forecasts of 50.7, marking the strongest expansion since May and the eighth month of growth. Manufacturing drove gains with its fastest output rise in 3.5 years, while services grew modestly. Germany posted solid manufacturing-led growth, France neared stabilization, and other members saw slower but positive momentum.

UK Composite PMI Rises to 1-Year High:

The UK S&P Global Composite PMI rose to 53 in August of 2025 from 51.5 in the previous month, ahead of expectations that it would inch higher to 51.6 to set the sharpest growth rate in private-sector business activity in one year, according to a flash estimate. The expansion was carried by the services sector (53.6 vs 51.8 in July), which also rose to a one-year high, to offset a steeper contraction for service providers (47.3 vs 48). The strong momentum for services drove new business volumes at the aggregate level to rise the most since October.

Bitcoin under pressure recently, $105,000 for support and a possible trade bounce if it goes that low. Obvs it's all macro dependent.

Ethereum, holding the right side of RSI 50 though and rebounding.

Hi HH88,

Those guys are all great.

Tro is sort of the center of gravity for the forum, without him its may just collapse as their isn't much volume in terms of posting.

He's super knowledgeable, kind and generous with his time.

Hopefully everyone can eventually come to accept that we all have different opinions and thats just part of life.

I dont have chance to post much, but obvs contribute my mindless observations when i can, lol.

Fact checking me is probably wise, lol.

Hi sectorbreakdown,

Haven't read about that yet. Sounds scary, lol.

"Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, August 12, 2025 – Saudi Arabia’s mining sector has achieved an unprecedented global milestone, jumping from 104th place in 2013 to 23rd in 2024 in the Fraser Institute’s Mining Investment Attractiveness Index, according to the Institute’s 2024 Annual Survey of Mining Companies. The Kingdom surpassed mining jurisdictions in prominent destinations across Asia and Latin America, further cementing its position as one of the world’s fastest-rising powers in the mining sector."

Untapped resources estimated at $2.5 trillion according to the Saudi government.

Just looking at the food inflation figures from earlier, correction, UK now 4.9% from 4.5%. 2.9% for the euro area from June, so due a revision.

Hi Trek,

Thanks for the reply buddy.

Im going to continue posting on Tecan for now as people are being excluded, and i dont want anyone to feel left out.

Obvs if everyone drifts over here, then i shall just post here instead.

Re COIN and SWC, agree they are the connoisseurs choice, however, i do have a watch list of all the minnows too lol. When BTC moves they should provide some nice trading opportunities imo. Rising tide theory.

Stay frosty , gl everyone :)

Wishbone Gold, WSBN.

Testing the upper resistance again as it approaches the 1p zone.

Worth reading the recent RNS update on their first drill in the programme. Presently drilling ahead to target depth.

Barclays suggesting November rate cut possible.

Uk food inflation running at 4.5%, relative to the EU at 2.9%.

"The Bank of England will not cut interest rates again this year, economists have warned, with inflation expected to remain “miles above target” for the foreseeable future.

Prices rose at an annual pace of 3.8pc in July, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), up from 3.6pc in June and higher than analysts’ predictions of a climb to 3.7pc.

Transport costs were the largest upward driver of prices, mainly as a result of higher air fares, while food inflation increased from 4.5pc to 4.9pc, the highest level since February last year.

The pound edged higher and housebuilding stocks fell as traders bet there was a less than 50pc chance that policymakers would lower borrowing costs again in 2025 after this month’s rate cut to 4pc.

The Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) has a target to bring inflation down to 2pc but the pace of price rises has fallen below that level just once since April 2021.

Oxford Economics forecast that inflation will not drop below the Bank’s target until beyond 2027 and said it expects CPI in Britain to average 3.5pc this year and 2.8pc in 2026.

Pantheon Macroeconomics predicted inflation will remain around 3.7pc on average for the rest of 2025 as inflation stays “miles above target for the foreseeable future”."

Jubilee Metals, JLP.

Bullish write-up from Charles this morning.

Artemis resources, ARV.

Gearing up to drill.

Hey evi,

Imo people should make an effort to accommodate one another. That's what's good about this forum and differentiates it from the world we live in where everyone is becoming a bit antagonistic and intolerant toward people who dont share their own perspective.

Tro,

Diversity, equity and inclusion - of opinion :)

I dont know where this authoritarian streak in you is coming from lol.

Hey Trek,

WSBN, got in very low, a bit of a barn door at the time with drilling due to start imo.

Obvs have traded a few on the way, but todays rise still got me smiling :)

Hope you are doing ok too. Im ready to pounce on these BTC stocks again, but it's all a bit quiet, mNAVs looking much more appetising across the board though, some as low as 1.

Lab have demonstrably worsened operating conditions for the hospitality sector via tax and legislation since gaining office, this can't really be described as an "improvement" imo.

Pretending Lab have slowed the rate of pub closures through these huge tax increases and regulatory burden is absurd imo.

Whilst schemes exist to prioritise veterans, it's a misrepresentation to claim veterans are the Councils priority. They are not.

In any event, standard guidance around the allocation of social housing is being bypassed as Gov seeks to minimise the visibility of its border crisis and the associated use of hotels for foreign men. Housing stock is being purchased for this purpose with no optionality in terms of its immediate allocation.

Whilst this is a cost saving measure, it's of little consolation to sundry British families on the social housing waiting list.

Hey HH88,

No, imo.

Giving a strategic military base to a corrupt country with close ties to the UK's enemies is bad enough.

Paying them billions and billions to take it is insane.

They have endangered a vital marine wilderness, handed the Chagossians over to human rights abusers, weakened the UK militarily, and effectively defrauded the taxpayer to finance it all.

Then lied about what they have done to the public and parliament.

Clearly its not as bad as covering up child abuse, another feather in their cap, but in terms of "dumb", it's the stuff of satire.

They will be coming back for more cash soon, to fund their next surprise.
