270p - very precise insight! I will take the other side of that trade.

[woodhawk] 08/2/2017 13:03

LOL. Should have closed your short while you had the chance. The 'Bad news' is already out there and getting long in the tooth... only it doesn't look as though it will be nearly as bad as some think. Onwards and upwards!!

[larva] 08/2/2017 11:19

Will warn before long


Reckon be buying this off the fooor at 270p

Personally not expecting this to remain independent for too much longer. Underlying growth potential and profitability is way too attractive, and there must be folks out there capable of leveraging their existing client base rather than paying the effective £1,200 customer acquisition cost IG is currently paying

A couple of days of falls to recover too; thought we were starting to see good momentum. Think it'll be there

[catcheemonkee] 02/2/2017 12:56

Very encouraging indeed :-)

[langy_1] 02/2/2017 12:55

Nearly back to pre dividend price now. Encouraging.

[wskill] 02/2/2017 11:14

XD then not much of a drop was hoping to get a few more myself.

[luderitz] 02/2/2017 09:06

4.50? Very unlikely in my view but you never know. My own feeling is it is only going one way from here.

[essentialinvestor] 01/2/2017 21:21

Looking to add a small amount on any decent post XD sell off.

£4.50? , never say never, however would be surprised to see that level
without some additional regulatory uncertainity flaring up.

[discodave4] 31/1/2017 22:32

Try talking out aloud when you read it, the penny might finally drop......although doubt it somehow!.While I'm on, any reason why this is going to go anywhere near 450 again, and love to hear your detailed reasoning for 250, can't wait.DD

[sux_2bu] 31/1/2017 22:22

You are right about that, it probably does sux to be you.

[sux_2bu] 31/1/2017 21:21

Back down to 450p, then 250p ultimate target.

[mondaytuesday] 31/1/2017 21:04

WTF happened today?

OMG!

[luderitz] 31/1/2017 16:10

Todays real drop down to MMs wanting more shares to fill some bigger orders maybe.

[mister md] 31/1/2017 15:38

I thought brokers moved their targets up as shareprice rises and down when shareprice falls, hence always looking like they make the right call. Maybe RBC need to correct their call ;)

[gorse] 31/1/2017 12:29

Essential, one thing I do know it's been a lot of fun and made a decent amount of money - and a particular delight is NO COMMITTEE MEETINGS!!

[essentialinvestor] 31/1/2017 12:18

Gorse, spot on!.

Nearly 3 decades for me, not sure where all the time has gone.

[gorse] 31/1/2017 12:10

My two decades of experience tells me that the day of a broker downgrade is a better day to buy than the day before. Thus I bought a few more. This company seems to have a strong balance sheet.

[essentialinvestor] 31/1/2017 12:06

The record date is usually Friday now, but it takes the shareholder record
from close of business on Wednesday. Anyway just technical stuff.

[moolahcoaster] 31/1/2017 12:00

- also drop today is probably because RBC broker cut its rating to underperform from sector perform (though it raised target price to 510p from 500p where it was previously).

[moolahcoaster] 31/1/2017 11:51

please be aware the ex-dividend date is Thursday, February 2nd.
The ex-dividend date is usually one business day before the record date. The ex-dividend date is almost always on a Thursday nowadays.
Before Oct 2014, it used to be 2 days (so Wednesday) but not anymore.
You can sell your shares on Thursday and still get the dividend, but if you sell them on Wednesday you get no dividend (or you can just hold and keep getting dividends for many years - expected 23p in Oct/Nov...) Hope that helps.
