Ig Share Discussion Threads

Could i just clarify something about the ex-div with someone that knows -

As long as i hold shares at 4.30 Wednesday i'll be entitled to the dividend however the price will fall by the amount of the dividend (generally) - when would this be paid and are you able to sell shares in-between the ex-div date and the payment date without affecting the payment.

I've got a house purchase at the end of Feb so need to sell some shares to fund it, i don't want to miss out on a 2k dividend for the sake of a few days.

Pretty sure i understand it but would be good for someone to confirm.

Cheers

I'm up 10%+ nice.

Try that in a bank.

Also IG go ex-divi at 4.30 Wed this week.

Cheap phenomenally cash generative business with best in class platform - maybe some just waking up to that fact

[langy_1] 30/1/2017 13:01

What's with the sudden upward burst?

[luderitz] 27/1/2017 18:10

Onwards and upwards.

[langy_1] 27/1/2017 16:04

Nice wee rise today. Onwards and upwards.

Adding lower looking a little less likely atm.

May get an XD dip.

Couple of good trading days and I think we'll have a good recovery chart

[essentialinvestor] 26/1/2017 10:33

Just over 5.28 my average here, hoping for lower, will add on the XD.

He could have timed it a little better?, you might want to look at his
last Sell! - perfect timing.

[thepunter] 24/1/2017 10:13

Woodhawk.. I know.. but that could have been executed a bit better is what I mean.. unless there are some conditions on director's deals having to go through on the open or something..

[colinzeal] 24/1/2017 10:08

Incorrect. Poor management.

Look at the increase in Operational costs - this is probably due to outsourcing jobs to Poland which I doubt has worked well.

The director buy is probably to prop up the share price - wouldn't surprise me if he has performance-related share options with huge strike price executions - could therefore be in his interest to make sure the share price is supported. Speculation, like.

[raffles the gentleman thug] 24/1/2017 09:59

Exactly ... he is confident in the company and I am in complete agreement with him and smashing a few of my own shares too. One just has to look at incredible cash generation and investment in future growth to see this is completely on the wrong rating

[woodhawk] 24/1/2017 09:57

thepunter - I doubt he's bothered about "the next hour". LOL.

[langy_1] 24/1/2017 09:57

Early morning shenanigans over, looks like it will go blue again and should see a further sustained rise going forward imo

[thepunter] 24/1/2017 09:56

Not great to see the CEO of a trading company smash 200,000 shares on the open and then watch it lose 5% in the next hour...

[staylow1] 24/1/2017 09:47

I sold yesterday at 541 (I don't trade the updates anymore). Great share, don't doubt the price will be £6 soon.

[pete653] 24/1/2017 09:40

the CEO buying is a plus -

so how many shares does Peter Hetherington have in all now?

[dusseldorf] 24/1/2017 09:28

woodhawk - I was skim reading as I clearly stated I no longer hold a position - I stand corrected - please retrieve your teddies.

[woodhawk] 24/1/2017 09:24

Dusseldorf,

Do you have trouble with comprehension or are you just deramping? "£15m revenue down (permanently) by closing sprint bet markets" - rubbish, it's only closed to new clients.

[dusseldorf] 24/1/2017 09:18

MisterMD - I sold last week and forwent the divi for a banked profit. There are already stated impacts of conduct rulings in the results e.g. £15m revenue down (permanently) by closing sprint bet markets. Can't rule out further uncertainty regarding revenue impact statement at the end of March - which is the only thing we have to 'look forward' to.

I'll be back in April.

[smurfy2001] 24/1/2017 09:17

Nice opening but now being clobbered sigh.
