SK you are so generous to give up nearly all your free time writing huge posts on a company you have no interest in either way

So you’ve got one too😊😊;😊

Scotty,

Not trying to ram anything down anyone's throat. Just responding to the situation and other opinions as things develop.

Would you be suspicious of my sideline status and motivation if our opinions were more aligned?

Confirmation bias is the enemy of all who try to play the AIM casino.

BP - souinds like the wife that ... shifting the goalposts to her advantage

SK2, you don’t take other people’s opinions into consideration. If you did you would be much more balanced.

When losing the argument you attempt to shift the goalposts, moving from the particular to the general.

You are trying to bounce Burford into making rapid, ill-considered actions. It won’t work.

I’ve been in PR for 30 years and it’s very obvious what you are doing.

I normally find when someone is trying to ram an opinion down your throat they are not necessarily "on the sidelines" but its a BB so mostly as you elude to everyone playing to their own book.

It would make interesting reading to see an accurate, scientific analysis of the ratio of TW/ShareProphets mentions & sightings by the 'TW under the bed' gang to the share price of dodgy companies under the spotlight.

In my admittedly unscientific observations over the years I've noticed the higher the # of mentions & sightings of TW/SP & the higher the # of claims that so & so is a TW ID & that he posts his bearish attacks all day long under many, many different IDs by the bulls, the dodgier the company.

HTH.

scotty,

How much of your opinion is driven by what you stand to gain if you are right or lose if you are wrong?

My opinion is not driven by either (on the sidelines, no position and no intention of taking a position). I just enjoy analysing situations and predicting what will happen and seeing if I am right or wrong and if wrong why I got it wrong- a useful technique to have when I do have money on the line. In those instances where I do have my own money on the line, I find it pays to take account of what people with different opinions have to say, provided they are coherently and logically expressed. The ability to avoid confirmation and optimism bias is critical to successful playing of the AIM casino. The other key thing is to understand the psychology of others also playing the same game in the AIM casino.

You can day-trade this stock if you want but I don't see a sustained price recovery for awhile.The reason being that the markets as a whole are very nervy.If investors are buying bonds on negative yields they're hardly likely to have an unrestrained appetite for controversial equities.

Why's this thread decended it bad language batter rather than interesting comment?

[mhassanriaz] 12/8/2019 14:17

This will rise as Yankees open their eyes.

[scotty666] 12/8/2019 14:15

ok thanks lets see what plays out as I have a different opinion. In the mean time will leave you posting repeatedly from the "sidelines" !

[blusteradjuster] 12/8/2019 14:14

Yes, the various shareprophets avatars are spinning wildly here today.

Hopefully they’re rattled.

[sweet karolina2] 12/8/2019 14:14

brexit,

I am not doing anything for anyone. I am just commentating on the situation and giving my views on how it will play out. I don't make share price predictions as that could go anywhere.

[1corrado] 12/8/2019 14:11

800p coming soon.

[sbb1x] 12/8/2019 14:11

Is 780 now resistance?

[dgarvey] 12/8/2019 14:08

Yes but delaying the tweet and the cancellation of trades within minutes if the announcement suggests collusion to manipulate the market.

[brexitplus] 12/8/2019 14:05

SK2

Surely that is what you are trying to do for MW.

It’s pretty obvious.
