150 calls a day just isn't possible - plus the stats show its the deeper engagement not the volume of calls that has the highest conversion sales ratio - so some sales BS there lol. maybe some inbound calls too but still a crock lol. I would have thought most their staff on 35-55k pa perhaps - SBs tend to be a good click lower than the IBs.

Richie yes have a few GRIT because metals/mining sector still v strong - money flow still v healthy - nav drifting slightly the wrong way which is holding it back a touch - needs to b/o here upto the 15 area or risk of a divergent top would be my read. LT weekly bowl v attractive.

That's a 6.5 day job: 150 calls per day x 6.5 = 975 which is just shy of the 1000 clients!!

[dusseldorf] 13/2/2017 15:28

wow, just stumbled across a sales account manager role at LCG (posted today). How's this for a set of KPI's:


• Manage portfolio of 1000 clients
• Sell on a directorship level/partners
• 150 calls per day
• £300k target/per month

Good luck to anyone applying for that. Can't believe 150 calls per day - perhaps that includes 'leaving a message'. One call every 3.2 minutes....

£300k target/per month - not asking for much are they? again, perhaps that is just an accumulation across the 1000 and their trading habits.

Though perhaps this goes some way to explain their 'average' employee cost of £100k

Are you still in GRIT LM?

[dusseldorf] 13/2/2017 13:22

LuckyMouse - thanks for your insight, wasn't aware of change in aim regs - also a good take on co. being cautious

[luckymouse] 13/2/2017 13:16

They changed the aim regs requirement for ims - so thats all it is. I imagine at this delicate turnaround juncture the co prefers to monitor a while & see if the improving trend is continuing from last update. Also if there are any developments on the govt consultation re limited risk accounts which created a sector sentiment overhang. The new ultra hi tech platform has tons of sophisticated risk features built in so they are well positioned to offer these type accounts. Yes, they can still put an ims out to give the heads up before the Apr results at any stage - a mth before for example.
LCG chart is better placed than IG or PLUS because its the only only one coming off a major low so the sentiment is already baked in. As the sector sentiment slowly wanes & the results improve this chart appears best positioned to take advantage. Hence the btm fishing.

[dusseldorf] 13/2/2017 12:45

luckymouse - any view regarding the lack of trading update (to date)? I would assume given FY due end of April that one could still be issued prior to results in latter half of Feb/March.

[luckymouse] 13/2/2017 12:29

Neckline is in the 6-7p area - so both roughly correct. Swings to profit in grand style, or swings to b/e followed by an ahead t/u will see a multibagger from these levels. So its down to whether the plan is working (which it now appears to be), and how long for those stage analysis events to arrive.

[dusseldorf] 13/2/2017 11:24

richie666 - I'm hoping it has 10p written all over it via a bid(!) Failing that a slow and steady recovery to 5p is on the cards as we head towards 2017 interims back end of this year. 2016 FY in April will hopefully consolidate the short-term rise and demonstrate profitability is around the corner.

[richie666] 13/2/2017 10:20

5p all over it IMO

[dusseldorf] 13/2/2017 08:31

Momentum continues, can sell 50k@3.2p or 200k@3p, but can't even get a quote to buy 3000 shares...(£120!)

[dusseldorf] 10/2/2017 09:15

Bought another 35,000 today - It's the highest price I've paid so far but the prospect of improved results and potential bid lead me to believe it could still make a decent profit in 6-12 months.

[luckymouse] 08/2/2017 15:55

That's the 2nd 1.5m bargain to come in - starting to look like accumulation

[domple] 08/2/2017 09:16

Ddorf, are you surprised the large buy hasn't affected the share price at all? would have thought a trade of that size would have shifted it upwards.

[dusseldorf] 07/2/2017 17:32

2.6m buy after hours due to 1hr reporting delay. Things hotting up

domple - no reason they cannot release a trading update up to any point a couple of weeks prior to results (though doubt they would leave that late.

Results not due until End April.

[domple] 07/2/2017 14:22

As the days pass, it's looking less likely that they'll be a trading update rns?

[luckymouse] 03/2/2017 18:47

Technically - not a lot to go at the mo - some LT +ve divergence - interesting volume - ROC, which can be incredibly sensitive at picking up almost invisible change in behaviour, has turned up - poss LT d.btm on mtm - early portents - ideally need south facing wicks ie the money flow to switch positive. Assuming it does then..
Neckline at around 6-7p area - base height completion around 11p - major rst's at 14 & 18p.

Fundamentally - last Sep Interims they reported a 200% improvement in Gross Profit & a 60% improvement in Statutory Loss. If that trend were to continue they may be about to report a greatly reduced loss or getting closer to swings to profit.
- which improves things from dire to it is turning around. They also strengthened the weak balance sheet and removed some debt which derisks a bit. A T/U came at the end of Jan16 (not now required so discretnry) & Finals end of April.
So yes, could be insts doing some early btm fishing in anticipation of an RNS confirming the turnaround plan is working.

[richie666] 03/2/2017 16:24

My guess is old management selling balance of their shares. What's for sure is volume and price holding bodes well for a solid bottom being in place.

[dusseldorf] 03/2/2017 16:19

LuckyMouse - 1.5m sale (assumed as sale) cleared at 3p. Looks like someone is accumulating...interesting times ahead i think

[dusseldorf] 02/2/2017 12:31

500,000 sale at 2.75 reported (delayed by 1hr). Market is still currently offering 3p (0.25p above bid) for 100,000 sale.

[dusseldorf] 02/2/2017 12:00

Just spotted looking through RNS's that the company is due a pre-close trading update - perhaps compounding speculative buying. Typically these are issued in January (based on last 4 years), but they have yet to release one.

I also noted in the last 4 years the company has received 2 speculative approaches for the entire issued equity, both within 2 months of a trading update (one Jan one June).

Here's hoping for further progression(!)

[dusseldorf] 01/2/2017 14:29

Full year not reported until end April, I guess it tallys with the old SMA Golden Cross rule for speculation:



Full year should show some good progress (H1 rev 110% higher than last year) and overheads down both staff and debt. Could be right on speculative buying.

Will probably top up as it drops back. Still a good one for bottom draw when the markets get crazy (IMO not too far away now). Options for staff range from 4.7-7p and I believe there are some convertible warrants at 21p still too.

Slowly slowly.

[luckymouse] 01/2/2017 14:12

Probably just speculative base buying/bargain hunters looking at the chart - unless theres some inside info

free stock charts from uk.advfn.com

[dusseldorf] 01/2/2017 11:06

MM's don't appear to be quoting this online to buy in any quantity, any ideas?

RNS seems completely unrelated.
