My guess would be that anybody holding 55,000 shares @ £10 of a single stock IS a millionaire! Wish I was holding that amount, but maybe wouldn't have pre-judgement when we dropped on the SEC announcement. My comparably small holding gave me enough stress on that drop!

Slightly annoying fall at the end after such a nice chart. At least it looks to have closed above the $12.20 level at was when the UK closed. Happy Easter all

All disclosable short positions closed out, ie those over 0.5%. Gladstone showing as at 0.47%, so under the reporting threshold now

Looking at the current US SP trajectory it looks like a poor trade at the current time. I'll give you respect for not only posting great trades after the event though!

I really can't see under current market conditions that they would be able to raise cheaper capital than previously

Although some companies do have stratas of shares with differing voting rights, but that's not what we are talking about

Johnnyrh... A share is the same as any other share. Each has parity. So as long as you held it on the ex div date then you would qualify. It wouldn't matter if you held your shares from 2016 or you bought them tomorrow. As long as you hold on a yet to be announced ex div date, you would qualify, whether that be a normal div or a special.

Here's a lengthy slide deck I published a week ago on Burford:

Here's a post-summary-judgement update I published today:

I think it's going to go up a lot.

I gave a special shout-out to Portia Patel from Canaccord on the last page - I know she is adored across this forum for her insights and unwavering loyalty to her client LCM

Try this for a more informative read. Q7 answers AceofSpades troll attempt quite nicely ..

Sorry, on my phone and c&p not working as hoped

But the Southern District of New York is not in Argentina. It’s in New York. And New York is in the United States. If you got a speeding ticket in say, the Netherlands, you might simply not pay that speeding ticket and never return to the Netherlands. Stroopwafels aren’t that great, anyway. In the same vein, and as far as I know, Argentina isn’t planning on visiting the United States. It would be a tectonic and logistical nightmare.

However, Argentina does have assets within the U.S.’s reach. Argentina has things like cash deposits in U.S. banks and ADSs which trade on American exchanges and these things are mostly fair game when it comes to the reach of U.S. courts.

It hasn't yet, but you'd know that if you were keeping up with events. The quantum has yet to be decided. Once it has expect Argentina to then attempt to reach a settlement with Burford for a reduced amount. If Argentina wish to appeal, they can, but must put up a substantial bond. If Argentina don't put up the bond then Preska's judgement can be enforced. I've Burford can take Argentina's assets whether that be dollars deposited in foreign banks, ships, aircraft, oil etc. Argentina doesn't need to pay cash, although that would be better for both sides

Yes, I wish I had traded RBGP and got out near the top, I didn't and are still there, underwater. It went to 168p, you never predicted that. I see uncertainty but still think I've bought a lot of future earnings for a 60p ish average. Only the future will determine who was right.

Anyway let's discuss Burford

No doubt alive and kicking and nlused to mark up posts. When I posted credibility, I should also of put authenticity. But let's move on. Don't let him wind you up.

It's spoiling what should be a good moment for us all, against a back drop of gloom everywhere else.

Enjoying what FFC?

The judgement and the share price increase? Of course and I believe it will have a lot further to go. Read RedIrishes post on ADVFN about the further catalysts; formal settlement with Argentina, agreement with SEC of treatment of fair value and release of (hopefully higher rated) accounts. Then release of consecutive quarters of increasing cash collections from the historic build up of ever increasing deployments and delay in the courts due to covid. Should these happen then the sky high analyst valuations may materialise, should they not then clearly we won't.

The ongoing annoyance of the fly in the room you can't swat? I've made my thoughts on this clear in the past and thier credibility, but would rather discussion remain on the pros and cons of Burford, especially at this pivotal time.

I've posted this again as I'm sure a lot have missed this recently published slide deck. It's from late March this year, and while so fresh, we now know the judgement in the YPF cases, even if not the exact quantum. In the author's bull case they believe the shares to have a value of $57! Now less than $12!! The slides are perhaps the most comprehensive yet and should make interesting reading for those both new to Burford as well as those more familiar with Burford and litigation funding.

Admittedly, this analyst thinks only $55...

Starresnoff.. Only $25? This analysist thinks up to $59....

Nor mine, as per my 6.80 top up a few months ago and my 9.46 top-up yesterday! I'm as confident as can be though that both will look great in the years ahead. I just wish I had the balls to have sold some other holdings and topped up at 5. Hindsight eh?
