Interesting article in Telegraph Twitter and high-tech trading: does Burford have a case in its claims against Muddy Waters? https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2019/08/12/twitter-high-tech-trading-does-burford-have-case-claims-against/?WT.mc_id=tmgliveapp_iosshare_As5qjNGyN0HR

btw, been a subscriber share price for one year plus. Only share I ever followed was short QPP, as it was obvious.As for 2nd in command (Sommerv), was long for a while TCM, closed now.

Good read, but many of his (TW) shorts not covered by the likes of IG. Would be interesting if BUR took to main, would be crucified I reckon.

BTW:- no offence intended, if I got facts wrong, so be it. Will continue to follow.

and Tom, I may be short here, you have no clue, none at all

[dark energy] 12/8/2019 20:44

Hey Nerdy

Did you have £500K worth QPP? Turned to 10k quickly. I took at least 10k from you

and Tom, storing posts of a Bulletin Board Moron from 5 years ago - who's the bigger moron, you or me?

[dudishes] 12/8/2019 20:41

bbm, not aware of that, do tell.

It was free to read ShareProphets back then, but some were too stupid to do that.

All the Directors, Fidelity, M&G etc etc must all be Long and Wrong too then

The Company is profitable, generates cash, has high margins and is still growing, with a valuation that is a tenth of its peers

Sure, there are red flags with Quindell, but they are fast disappearing and I still don't get why people who were long, or even ramping (Brahms), are now bashing. Another Leopold.....

Not sure what was rich about my post, I was pointing out that you were mistaken about the etymology of SK's name. He told us how he came to pick that name only this week.

HTH

"SK, do shut up."

As Daniel Yu rightly says:

"Activist short selling is nothing more than the marriage of short selling and free speech."

Whilst I have not shorted a share for over a decade I will still do the free speech bit. As Karolina's boyfriend found out to his cost, trying to deny me that is a BIG mistake - the very first time I contacted his Nomad with concerns over how he was deliberately misleading investors, he came back with veiled threats of legal action. I have assisted in getting him booted off the board of one AIM company and getting another company thrown off AIM when he would not resign. I also got his auditor fined and severely reprimanded for signing off on the fictitious annual report Tim prepared. Well I did promise a terminally ill colleague that I would do all I could to prevent Tim from ripping off PIs ever again and I am a man of my word.

BUR would never dare sue MW for Libel - fact.

[sweet karolina2] 12/8/2019 20:02

Nerd,

Anyone who plays the AIM casino and does not have a subscription (£6 per month) to share price is a fool. Not saying it is always right but if share price points out concerns with a share why take the risk of it being wrong? If you had sold BUR back in May when Nigel Somerville did his piece, how much better off would you be now. There are not many buy tips on there, but make sure you DYOR thoroughly on any that there are. I have bought some of the ideas I got from there, and all are currently in profit, but that has not always been the case.

[mad foetus] 12/8/2019 19:59

SK, do shut up. As I understand it MW only have about $150m of assets but I am sure BUR will look at all avenues open to them and plead all of them: when you sue in the U.K. court you can sue for everything: negligent misstatement, fraudulent misstatement, deceit, negligence, malicious falsehood, libel. BUR doesn't need to choose which. Are you entirely ignorant of the legal system? The key issues will be showing that the case should be heard in the U.K. and how to measure damages. Libel may be more difficult than some of the alternatives.

[sweet karolina2] 12/8/2019 19:52

There are 2 compelling reasons why BUR would never dare sue MW for libel:

1. The discovery process would give MW access to all the accounting data.

2. BUR would lose.

[sweet karolina2] 12/8/2019 19:50

BBM re 10080,

No she is alive and well and no doubt still very sweet (only born in 83) even after Tim put her on the board of 1 of his bankrupt companies:

[nerdofsteel] 12/8/2019 19:43

very much so - thanks

No - I hope this helps.

[nerdofsteel] 12/8/2019 19:37

off topic I know but after many years Iam thinking about paying for a Shareprophets subscription, does anyone have any views on it?

[ppceh] 12/8/2019 19:33

MW have to respond, they said they will.

[hawkind] 12/8/2019 19:24

I think you will find they will sue. It doesn't become common knowledge in 2 weeks.

[ny boy] 12/8/2019 19:20

These are best avoided imo, I am busy adding to (STX), ahead of huge US commercialisation deal, following the recent game changing,broad label fda approval! Investors waking up! Dyor as usual
