Buying the dip.

Peterson has already paid out; so was the right thing to do Just wished it was in a listed cell such that Bur could then be valued without Peterson and shareholders could then adjust their holdings as to how much exposure they wanted to Peterson/Argentina (and the Argies could make a bid for the vehicle if they wanted)

Hi podgyted, I understand your sentiment the FT and others seem to love to use Petersen to generate negative comment. However, they seem to portray BUR's value as dependent solely upon Petersen, whereas I see it as a fully discounted lottery ticket. That's not to ignore the fact that there would be a hit to P&L if it had to be written back. The next few periods are likely to highlight BUR's performance x-Petersen and may well thus change the perception. Nevertheless, it would be nice to get the last laugh on Petersen. Regards Maddox

Beginning to wonder if we'd been better off never investing in Petersen - it causes so much material uncertainty it masks the good things going on in the mainstream.

Here comes Porsche again with his utter nonsense..The man's a total cretin, don't believe a word he posts

Thank you, Kazoom. I was totally wrong then. The unused doses indeed must be put to use but with priority for nurses etc. rather than office staff. Look here, we all know what is going on, the breakthrough is accepting it. BUR washed up.

[scubadiverr] 15/1/2021 11:51

So you were buying when you were posting the same back then? Interesting.

Out at 7.45. phew. Came back to have a look at price today. Freefall. MW called this right, I traded it on and off at the lower levels but Burford is dodgy, another Woodford guernsey registered co pile of steaming sxxt. There will never be a penny from Petersen.

Well you will be disappointed .. .. if you're expecting the results on 17 Feb! They're on 24 March. TU on 17 Feb.

[amt] 15/1/2021 06:23

Pity they didn't give a hint yesterday. Results to be released on 17th February and you won't be dissapointed. lol

MEANWHILE - you are in totally the wrong place to discuss this (unless you are saying that BUR could fund some litigation on the matter). Just two points though : 1. Some NHS admin staff meet patients face to face on a daily basis. 2. If any does is going to waste because a member of the public did not make their appointment (for whatever reason), rather than waste the dose, it will be given to someone available.

VACCINE UPDATE, WALES. I always follow the data. Official NHS figures show approx. 10,000 vaccinations given by NHS Wales today and on course to complete the entire population of Wales by January 2022, barring unseen obstacles, of course. They may better this end date as the number still to be vaccinated is diminishing rapidly each day, chiefly due to death. A friend of mine, 89 years old, has an appointment for January 23rd, 30 days after some of the admin. staff (yes, admin. staff) at one North Wales hospital received theirs. Perhaps NHS Wales should cease their primary objective of self preservation and look towards their customers as the reason for their existence.

Ptolemy, I reckon this is looking like a version of three peaks etc. I'm not a wave counter so not sure. It could mean price ends up back at the beginning of the pattern. Approx 573 An alternative pattern could be a Big-M, "with handle", unconfirmed. tp approx 545.5 Confirmed on eod close below 633 Do you have a view?

[donald pond] 14/1/2021 12:18

Yup, at least they have change to operate the RNS machine

[time_traveller] 14/1/2021 12:17

Phew. That's good. I thought they had gone home in October and turned the lights off.

[scubadiverr] 14/1/2021 12:13

RNS - On Wednesday February 17, 2021, Burford plans to release a brief 2020 business update at 07.00am EST / 12.00pm GMT / 1.00pm CET.

[time_traveller] 14/1/2021 12:02

Until the seller turns off the taps, I guess. Anyone who knows the company would think they have to be insane, but my guess is that it's hedged by the short positions (Gladstone)?

[hatfullofsky] 14/1/2021 11:45

Relentless, 600p next ?

[lomax99] 14/1/2021 08:58

Added a few.

[meanwhile] 13/1/2021 18:14

Compo62, Which department of the Wales NHS administration do you work for? I always follow the data.

[compo62] 13/1/2021 17:18

Ill-informed, infantile and irrelevant. Please don't bother with any further updates. Filtered just in case.

[meanwhile] 13/1/2021 15:43

VACCINE UPDATE, WALES. I understand that the Welsh vaccine programme is progressing according to NHS Wales's initial plan. Most of the NHS staff have now received the vaccine, with only the NHS car park attendants and some admin. staff, records, stationery purchasing etc. to be completed. This is deemed necessary on the grounds that, for example, an NHS office boy may need to deliver a consignment of pencils from the admin. block to hospital reception, thereby presenting a risk to himself, the reception staff and their extended families. This phase being completed, 90+ year olds and care homes will be next in the queue. Further updates will follow as deemed necessary.

[hatfullofsky] 13/1/2021 12:39

May get an update early Feb.

[time_traveller] 13/1/2021 11:15

Google has a tendency to flag up very old news reports, but with very similar looking publishing dates (with help from players seekng to manipulate the price I wonder). I did a double take at the FT clipping, not least because Petersen has moved on so little in that time.
