Lydem,dont be so smug.This is out of the Companys control and could not have been predicted(although actions by Belgium and France could have been taken as a harbinger of things to come.)

Have no position here any more,sold at around 600p from memory.

Shouldn't the company be commenting?

FCA proposes stricter rules for contract for difference products

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is today proposing stricter rules for firms selling 'contract for difference' (CFD) products to retail customers to improve standards across the sector and ensure consumers are appropriately protected.

Contracts for differences, such as spread bets and rolling spot foreign exchange products, are complex financial instruments offered by investment firms, often through online platforms. Following an increase in the number of

The Liberum equity analysts look like all the others in the AIM market i.e simply react to news/events, cheerleaders for their corporate clients, do not produce anything that can genuinely be called independent research. If they were so on the ball here where was the research note indicating that the ESMA Q&A's posed a potential regulatory risk for the sector & what the implications might be for their corporate client Plus500 - the ESMA stuff has been in the market for months.

Timing of £100m recent sale by company insiders also looks a great trade (Liberum was of course a bookrunner).

Liberum have valuable view on all this.

They feel new Cyp regs, particularly if extended to UK and other major markets, will adversely effect Plus slightly. However, Plus doesn't have huge high pressure sales force so won't be affected by new controls on aggressive marketing. It will be slightly affected by reduced limits on leverage (to 50:1) and reduced bonus incentives. Unlike most, Plus does already limit punters' losses to their deposits and will be much less affected by any new controls, than the less scrupulous private operators. Some of the other operators will be hit much harder, which could have the longer term advantage of reducing competition.

They've slightly reduced next year's forecasts and are currently expecting pre tax profit of $152.1m in 2016, rising to $163.6m in 2017 with EPS of 74.7p, rising to 80.3p. Based on present price of 533p, represents a PE of 7.1, falling to 6.6 for 2017. Expecting dividends of 44.8p for 2016, increasing to 48.2p next year, with yield of 8.4%, rising to 9.0%. As a result they have new target price of 723p.

Like on so many past occasions, I feel, we'll probably continue to suffer from continuing short term shorters, but thereafter patience will be handsomely rewarded.

Ratboy!

I didnt think you would have the nerve to show your face!

Do you want to apologise to me now?

[freddie ferret] 01/12/2016 19:21

JP Morgan and others stake building it would seem, the deramp continues.

£5 may proove to be the bottom IMHO, pity I did not top up.

[lydnem] 01/12/2016 18:48

Maybe you should watch your losses. Loser

[lydnem] 01/12/2016 17:32

Totally true HPCG. No comparison between plus and IG, I have said it all along

[lydnem] 01/12/2016 17:31

Society is a better place when this company can no longer do business. Andrew Baker - no one who is seriously hedging would do so with PLUS. IG and a few others yes. PLUS aren't after people who can actually make money in the markets.

There's no getting away from it. They are in trouble. Take off your rose tinted spectacles. See McCrum in the F.T
