I hold Burford Capital - unfortunately!

There's been a lot of commentary about their valuation of legal cases with a very wide range of views expressed.

I've repeatedly thought of the comparison to insurance - where companies have long sought to assess the likely outcome of legal cases etc. It's a much longer established industry and the cases tend to be smaller & more numerous. But it's not dissimilar.

Gable is a good example of how it can all go wrong........

To be clear - I am definitely NOT drawing any likeness between GAH & BUR. Merely pointing out that valuation of cases isn't a new problem.

Useless & Toothless FCA Confirms formal death of AIM casino disaster story Gable
Published 2 hours ago
The FCA has put out a statement confirming that it is all over at Gable (GAH). William "piggy" Dewsall has made £15 million, but shareholders have lost everything and now it seems that policy holders will be screwed too. Gable issued statements while its shares traded that were simply not true but will there be any action against piggy or hapless Nomad Zeus? Whaddya think? The FCA confirms the worst:

SCANDAL: PWC lays bare the £60 million black hole at Gable and the massive regulatory failure on AIM
Published 4 days ago
PriceWaterhouseCcoopers, PWC, is acting as administrator to the subsidiaries of Gable Holdings (GAH) and has published a damning report making clear the black hole that has existed there since the start of the year. The shares were suspended only on September 12. This is a scandalous failure on the part of Nomad Zeus and the Oxymorons at AIM Regulation.

Hmmm the ghastly rampfest continues here I see.

Links to very old articles etc. Hang your heads in shame.

There is very little equity left in GAH and they say "There remains significant uncertainty regarding the implementation of the Strategic Restructuring Plan and there is no guarantee that, following its implementation, the group will retain sufficient capital to enable it to support the proposed retained business. The Board has made good progress in its discussions with third parties regarding the implementation of the Strategic Restructuring Plan and on this basis, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Whilst our negotiations with third parties provide the basis for the Board's view on Going Concern, this forms insufficient evidence for the auditors to form an opinion on the Group accounts."

ie whilst nobody knows exatcly what's going, GAH may be bust soon. Maybe not. Just so long as people are aware of that.... Beware the ghastly, mindless ramping - it's bordering on criminal IMVHO.

That's old news - dated 18/10/2015

seems some pi's here trying hard to fool other pi's into investing here by making out this is today's news - if it was GAH would rns this also but it's in Sequel's 18/10/2015 rns - simple just check the website link below

Amazing the extremes people go to to make out this is today's news to keep up hooked in, without relaising the ral facts

I read the RNS briefly - it doesn't seem to say anything constructive except idle waffle.

I can't recall a company who stopped underwriting restarting - my guess is that GIAG is a dead duck. And i'd be very surprised if the reserves prove adequate. I suspect the authorities in Lichtenstein are in for a nasty surprise. Without a bit more digging (which I've not time for as I'm on hols with my kids), I don't know which policyholders are likely to be protected by which compensation schemes to what extent - in the event of GIAG failing.

My 1st investment check is "Do I think the management are trustworthy & competent"; my 2nd check is "Is executive remuneration reasonable". For ME, GAH failed on both from the start.

EVERYTHING about Gable screamed out "Red Flag" - domicile, classes of business, ragbag of business written in multiple territories, lack of insurance experience on the Board, lack of details of underwriting/claims staff on website, ludicrous executive remuneration - even WD's picture! Google WD Hogarth FSA - I find it hard to understand how someone competent could get involved in issuing unlicensed EL policies. And he refused to tell me when asked in person - "confidential agreement with FSA".

If anything emerges, I suspect it will be around Hogarth - which is owned by? Not GAH but WD......

I'm v sorry for shareholders but I've tried, publicly & privately, to warn people of the problems emerging for a long time.

Yes, I can predict the lotto numbers, but I will get them wrong. That is because the lotto is a random process with a tiny possibility of any individual predicting the correct outcome.

If GAH reserves are booked at a true best estimate then the outcome for those might also be considered random, with the probability of a favourable outcome being somewhat over 50% and the probability of an unfavourable outcome being somewhat under 50%, the difference being due to the adverse skew of the underlying aggregate loss distribution. However, booked reserves are rarely a true best estimate; there is a range of reserve levels that could sensibly be said to represent a best estimate and companies that are doing well will tend to book figures towards the top of that range (thus increasing the likelihood of a favourable outcome), whilst companies that are doing badly will tend to book figures towards the bottom of that range (thus increasing the likelihood of an adverse outcome). GAH fall into the "companies doing badly" category. Given my knowledge of the sector and historical precedent, I believe that I can predict the outcome here with some degree of confidence.

With regard to your comments on reserves, I believe you will find that you are confusing claims reserves (technical provisions) with capital reserves. They are, in fact, quite different.

Garbet, even though i'm out here at a big loss, see no future in GAH and rather pee'd off with WD,,, i don't see how you can state all the reserves are accounted for. You may/may not be correct however your guessing and seem to be a very disgruntled person with WD/GAH...for whatever reason?.

There is also an important consideration (if my understanding is correct) that I am going to express in layman's terms, rather than possibly the correct 'technical/financial' language:GAH is holding some previous, current and future 'profits' back to keep the auditors happy. The latter wanted a bigger contingency/cash pile put aside to cover any extraordinary claims.GAH believes this level of contingency is 'over-egged' and will not be called upon. If GAH's assessment proves to be correct, there will be no need to continue to put such large amounts aside and the money can go to the bottom line (possibly even some retrospective 'contingency') as profits.Future eps may therefore exceed the figures suggested above, if not factored in.Someone more expert please correct me if I am wrong here.
