Interesting piece by Seb about YPF, Argentina and Burford.

Thanks all for your replies, I bought into BUR a few years ago - when it was vaunted to be a 'new asset class' and also almost a Robin Hood figure - giving 'poorer' people access to legal help/finance, where there was virtually none before.

It was a disrupter, I did pretty well the shares kept going north until MUDDY WATERS, and that was game over in one day, I sold. Since then it's been a roller coaster, it never has got it's reputation back from the attack.

The Argentina saga seems endless, so much potential but........

Over one year the share price has done very well but a shame it went so low in the first place, a traders dream perhaps (if one has the time/expertise in it's niche landscape)

GLA again and thanks

Hope there selling all the holdings & price being held back for a bit but great opportunity to buy. Unfortunately I’m already fully loaded

Seb's latest

.."In February, the IMF warned Argentina that it needs to address legal issues related to recent court rulings if it wants to regain access to international credit..."

Extracts (which I can't copy) follow...and refer specifically to the YPF and GDP bond-linked cases..

rAr100 - over the last 12 months depending on when you bought it’s significantly up. Going forward the whole market does not yet have confidence in the mid term spreadsheet forecasts but sooner or later the penny:cent will drop!

[syoun2] 16/4/2024 21:37

That’s in reply to rar100

In my view you are not looking at things correctly. The nature of Burford will encourage volatility. Almost everything is secret or unknown. Markets/traders love volatility it’s how you make money

[lomax99] 16/4/2024 19:32

Well in fractionally over a year it is up from a low of c 550p, so I am not really sure what you were expecting.

[rar100] 16/4/2024 19:19

I'm not the greatest at reading annual reports but can usually get a fairly good idea of how things are, but Burford's are a total mystery not being a high end lawyer/accountant).

The uptick in earnings difference '22 to '23 looked staggeringly good but as the share price didn't seem to back this up, I guess I was missing a lot of detail that's beyond my understanding and time constraints to wade through.

Mithaq doesn't help things of course.

So my questions are how do you rate 2023's results and if they are as good as the top lines suggest (and what Burford have to say about how well they are doing) why isn't the share price flying north. (I guess it's Argentina - which is just a can of worms to me).

I will appreciate any views

That explains the drop - great opportunity.

[mighunter] 16/4/2024 16:05

Mithaq continuing to use their Burford holding like an overdraft in market conditions

[chester9] 16/4/2024 15:50

Mithaq Capital SPC holding reduction confirmed.

Burford larger drops in 7 months26 percent 8 Sept to 28 oct10 percent 27 dec to 22 Jan 14 percent 14 feb to 13 March 12 percent 12 apr to 15 AprilOverall up 11 percent 1 sept to today.To quote Tom Jones it's not unusual, traders love it.

[saltraider] 16/4/2024 11:23

@dekle ... I presume that must be sarcasm. Otherwise, where is "such a big drop". I don't see anything beyond the usual volatility.

[dekle] 16/4/2024 09:18

With such a big drop in the share price I would have thought the exchanges would have called for a statement from the company?

[tnt99] 16/4/2024 08:11

Good buying opp for a compsny worth more than the us economy which is bust

[375uv] 15/4/2024 17:01

Don't underestimate what's going on in Judge Preska's court.

[jockthescot75] 15/4/2024 16:51

Could this be related to YPF itself? i.e. that's the asset?

[extrader] 15/4/2024 16:36

Hi galatea et al

The sordid details/allegations are all contained in the link in # 26051 above.
Google is your friend...

La Nacion is 'serious press' in Argentina, so much of the dirty linen is already in public domain, for those interested.

Perhaps the idea is to move the discussion level from the (by now desensitized) drawing rooms to the streets....?

i do not know anything but - latest filing will probably not change the hard facts on present finances awarded

it is probably a PR exercise.... in order to collect more easily ... hopefully and possibly in agreement with the present Argentina government....

filing having many dirty details hinted above which will be openly leaked ... and make payment easier.... in Argentina

dreamt up by my self
