I try to follow the logic but fundamentally why has the SP dropped from £8 to today ?
Is it simply the shorting or is there simply a disinterest in the business model ?

In the late 18th century many houses consisted of a large room with just one chair used by the most important owner or guest whilst everyone else sat on the floor to eat .
Hence the title still used today - the ‘Chairman’.
And congratulations to our Chairman for his show of confidence in the future .

Obviously Biden will not be tweeting or trying to seduce the crowds - he is out to help the country and will not be concerned by the Dow Jones .

I have checked the tweets you mention and I don’t see anything to worry about - just two Egyptian billionaires with big egos .

Unlike the squabbling on the ADVN forum ,as a new Centamin holder , I have been so happy to see the quality of the messages on this forum . I realise the distress for those who have seen the fall from 237-130 and the quote from ‘Razor’ is a sign of how hurtful the stockmarket can be . It’s a very compelling game but the soul badly needs a counter balance .

Warn - Thankyou so much for the link . I suspect companies totally ignore the importance to keep retail investors informed . Already we saw the confusion on CREST etc .
Meanwhile I notice that this forum has woken up since two months and was totally moribund ,fearful six months ago .
Finally we are getting away from the days of freebie holidays for Sir Peter and seeing soon a new Chairman .

Strange that Burford Comm does not inform us how to check the NYSE quote today .

By coincidence the 19th October - the NYSE launch - is also the reminder of the 1987 date 19/10 when the Dow Jones took a 20% haircut .

From time to time I follow the progress of W

With such an interesting share why is this forum so dead ? - advice please .

I have been out of Centamin since the corrupt lawsuit back in 2O14 when the SP went down to 30. I have recently studied the comments on ADVN and have been appalled by the stupidity of many comments with schoolboyish exchanges .
So it came as a relief this morning to read a balanced comment from the Gnome on this forum .

We must remember that Peel Hunt are the company brokers and all broker forecasts appear to be valueless .

Franalex: I am so impressed that you have been in this share since 2008 & digesting the refused Carlyle share . As a matter of interest it would be most educational if you were able to compare Renewi’s fundamental earnings with similar waste disposal companies and why , given the ATM resolution, why the company is not performing better . Is the fault in Benelux bureaucracy or the motivation of the managers and employees? Maybe the Dutch hated the Shanks takeover and only now feel a truly European company without the British shackles . I suppose there must be hundreds of retail shareholders who would like a minimum of understanding - which you since 2008 must be in a good position to educate us .

What any new shareholder needs to know
Is this : How good is the new CEO ? -seems a decent guy but can he lead ? - how is he viewed by the staff ? Finally how well do the English and Benelux staff get on together - has this dreadful merger finally found a clear road map.

I forget the name of the CEO who engineered the merger with the Dutch and then promptly quitted - what was his incentive to push that stupid merger - it shows the incompetence of the Shanks directors at that time and how many of them still exist - I know the ex Heathrow Airport Chairman finally was ousted but how good a job is the CFO doing ? I sense there is still weakness at the top .

Obviously this forum has no immediate confidence in Renewi but what could be the situation in 2022.?
Does no one invest for the medium term .

Jammy - I guess that the trading figures on Oct 1 are not likely to be particularly positive given court delays this year and a US listing is presumably already in the SP .
So my gut feeling is 50/50 for any excitement on Oct 1. But am always a long term holder for my grandson and expect Burford to flourish over the next ten years but slowly over the next year .

I have total confidence that Burford short/medium & long term will be an exceptional investment. The U.K. retail buyers have been burnt ,likewise the UK institutions are sitting on the fence. But the team is there doing their job , the bosses are there putting money where there mouths are , the Board has been reshuffled , the PE ratio stays low - watch end September when the SP will fly over £7.

Time will tell - thanks for your input . Given the potential and limited downside of Burford it amazes me that this forum is so lacking in enthusiasm - I can only assume that the previous retail shareholders lost too much to try again .
It’s the classic sheep mentality - time for the hoped for American buyers. I still have problems to understand the very low PE ratio .

I réalise this forum is too smart to predict the future - but let’s see if anyone is game to join me in predicting Burford share price in Aug 2023 :
My guess : 100% gain to 11
