Good morning CP52

Thanks for the additional information; what would you suggest as a reasonable target?

Tech analyst Zak Mir's target: 95

Under-fire litigation financer Burford received a boost today as an influential shareholder body backed its fight against US hedge fund Muddy Waters and the London Stock Exchange.

ShareSoc — a body which protects individual investors — said Burford is right to take its own legal action to find out who may have manipulated its stock, claiming the Financial Conduct Authority lacks the firepower and has no track record of prosecutions when it comes to so-called “spoofing and layering”.

Earlier this week Burford launched legal action against the LSE, asking the exchange to release the names of traders who allegedly cancelled large sell orders on August 6 and 7 when it came under a short attack by Muddy, led by Carson Block.

It's the usual click-bait to promote the Fool's questionable stock picking service with few real facts to support the claim.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Justice were passed details of alleged share manipulation minutes before short-seller Muddy Waters released its dossier on Burford this month.

...complete with a flashy pic of unrelated pair of Iranians, presumably to bolster the allegation that Christopher Bogart and Jonathan Molot live questionable lifestyles ; pathetic, really:

Today’s scene in the Burford drama makes Muddy Waters look as if it’s running out of ideas. To paraphrase what someone once wrote: it doth protest too much, methinks.

Do you see the correct time messages are posted, or does it seem to be a tad futuristic?

... over how it judges profits.

The litigation funder has come under attack for its financial reporting:

The firm is best known for spotting fraud at Sino-Forest Corp, a Canadian-listed Chinese company whose stock fell 74 percent before it eventually filed for bankruptcy protection in March 2012.[1] In 2014, Canadian authorities outlined criminal fraud charges against Sino-Forest and its executives.[3] Prominent investors including Maurice Greenberg and John Paulson lost significant amounts of money on Sino-Forest.[4]

Odd that there's no comment from Neil Woodford.

Doc Holiday real name Mr Michael ******* of Runcorn, Cheshire, (an ex sewage worker) or as most know him ****low! A vile troll with a history of vile abuse going back years. ******* was banned from twitter 2 yrs ago for similar behaviour and has sneaked back to continue his disgusting abuse under the guise of a ‘financial commentator’ where he regularly pumps and dumps companies that pay him via his shell company (Volant Services) to massively over-promote.

Gld prices may exhibit a more bullish behaviour over the near term, and the precious metal looks poised to extend the advance from the monthly-low ($1382) as it breaks out of a holding pattern:

... who really need to get a grip.

Seek help.

Lordy ... and I was under the impression that blue simply signified the price had risen from the open - not that buys had exceeded sells.
Just shows, if you're willing to believe a bunch of ****e, you can learn something new every single day ... and live with the consequences.

With more than twice as many sells as buys ?
