I hope he does. Not long to find out...

A NASQAQ secondary listing would get us on pe=20 (we are at 9). Surely it is the best way to drive returns for us.

Hey LWHL

its a watch and wait game. It would be amazing if the new boss did a pre- ye trading update by eom. Might get the Share Price moving.

Both of us were banging the table to have the C suite fired for over a year now and it kind of happened. Call it wishful thinking, but I think new guy will turn this ship around. He has already got rid of the deadwood.

Markets at ATH's, lots of optimism, this one is IMO simply following the current trend.
Not a dog, by any means, but nothing to get excited about either, based on the last update.
The next one (in July I think?) is the one that I am going to pay particular attention to. The new boss will IMO have had long enough to get to grips with the whole operation by now.
Those historic disappointments, as outlined by a few of us in the past, were squarely on JF.
I am looking for confirmation that TT is now booking profits. Increasing revenue is great, but profit is what matters. Especially when you paid a handsome price for the acquisition in the first place, in case anyone has forgotten.
Also costs down would be good, or at least not further up.
Anyway, I continue to follow with interest, but not a holder again at this point. GLA.

Not sure why cmcx share price is outperforming here. Should be the other way around based on all metrics i can think of

Generally there's a strong correlation between quietness of advfn boards and good share price performance!

[prokartace] 03/5/2024 12:07

Gone very quiet on here considering the recent upside in the share price The gap from january has been compehensively filled

"deliberately cut its own throat by getting rid of the much better customer friendly trading platform"

Here's where the BS started, there's nowt wrong with its platform was the subsequent consensus!

[sick of it] 19/4/2024 13:50

Rather than just talk BS why not learn to read the last RNS???

Active clients in the quarter were 266,800, up on the second quarter (Q2 FY24: 263,600) and consistent with the prior year (Q3 FY23: 268,600). First trades of 18,000 were up on the second quarter (Q2 FY24: 16,600) and the prior year (Q3 FY23: 17,400).

OTC client income retention normalised in the mid-point of the long-term typical range.

Total client assets across the business reached another record high of £10.1 billion (30 November 2023: £9.3 billion) within which client money balances were stable on levels reported at the end of H1 FY24.

Interest income in the period of £35.2 million was in line with guidance, of which £19.1 million was generated in the US.

tastytrade delivered a record quarter of total revenue of $62.6 million, up 8% on the second quarter (Q2 FY24: $57.8 million) and 15% on the prior year (Q3 FY23: $54.6 million), reflecting growth in both trading revenue and interest income. In GBP, revenue was up 10% to £49.4 million (Q3 FY23: £44.9 million).

Excellent platform and always good service
Feel free to go elsewhere but in my experience IG is the best.
Hopefully the share price responds soon! £10 be nice and should get there with the new CEO

Tastytrade Announces Exclusive Partnership With Unusual Whales

[bulltradept] 11/4/2024 11:36

You are both talking about different to things to which I am stating. Dividends isn't spread betting, which is what I am talking about.

[bargainsniper] 10/4/2024 19:33

Igg is a core holding for me.Excellent company

[gbh2] 10/4/2024 14:26

I've been using IG's platform for two decades and I've not seen much change to moan about, in fact, they're now one of the fastest to pay dividends into my account.

[bulltradept] 10/4/2024 13:01

Yes, I use to use it regularly and as you state cutting staff, putting them off shore and I do mean off shore where being cut off on the phone happened more often than not, shows a lack of understanding. Still they'll learn, plenty of other Spread betting firms whose systems are on a par with and here's a thing, British call centres.

[alotto] 10/4/2024 11:50

Bull, I think you may be right. Customer base is stagnating dangerously. Also reducing staff is a sign that the management can see a storm at the horizon. I would have bought IGG if the trading update did not have the red flag on the shrinking/stagnating customer base. I hope the next TU proves me wrong

[bulltradept] 10/4/2024 10:17

IG will, I suspect, start to lose customers if it hasn't already, having deliberately cut its own throat by getting rid of the much better customer friendly trading platform.

Good luck holders you'll need it.

Blackhorse, did anybody ask you?
Ridiculous post

[blackhorse23] 03/4/2024 14:44

Bought APH for better dividend

[alotto] 21/3/2024 15:21

Gbh2 read my post again. I am not saying BBS are not beneficial.
I'm only referring to bbs and management bonuses.

[gbh2] 21/3/2024 14:41

You're welcome to your opinion, but I'll base mine on the 20 odd years I've spent watching the impact of BBs,

[alotto] 21/3/2024 13:27

The BB should be disregarded as far as bonuses are concerned. It's ridiculous to improve earnings per share by reducing the number of shares. Total earnings should be used as a metric.
BB however have other indirect benefits for shareholders.
Profits don't seem to be increasing this year so BBs is the ace up the sleeve that was left. Ah and the layoffs of course.

[gbh2] 21/3/2024 13:19

The Buybacks will improve the EPS but as far as I can see that'll only help director bonuses, hopefully the changes will eventually help the share price

[alotto] 21/3/2024 12:55

Are we ignoring the declining number of users? why is this happening?

"revenues more or less unchanged from last year at £240.1m": how is this even a positive?

[gbh2] 21/3/2024 12:38

Today's share price performance doesn't bode well for confidence in the change!
