Archy.

The spike is not just today. The others in the sector, CMC and PLUS have also gone up and have all been on a good run for a while.

Key reason for gains very recently is probably the good results from CMC the other day.

Both PLUS and CMC have shown they seem to be adapting well to the regulatory headwinds. So that bodes very well for the next IGG update too.

A VERY big plus point is that Brexit, the Election and trade wars, unlike for other sectors, are if anything a plus for these 3. i.e market volatility suits them.

IGG was a great investment at the 474p low and with a then 9% dividend which they said they were confident of holding until business picked up again. Then they expected to revert to a progressive dividend policy again.

IGG has slightly lagged PLUS and lagged CMC too. IGG (up 24p/3.5% today) is up 45% from the year low, PLUS (up 11p today) is up 50% and CMC (up another 10p/7.5% today) is up 80%!

Could well be more to come from all 3 although the easiest gains have been had now.

I agree this is all set to go back to 900p (and beyond with a fair wind) - wondering why the big spike today in particular though?

[fizzypop] 26/11/2019 13:36

Great recovery from 1% fall and previous peak about to be breached.
Could make 700p today.

[11_percent] 26/11/2019 10:37

This is on a good run......700p is a given......will we get back to 900p...

Just bought a few.

£120 for an AGM letter? As a matter of principle shareholder democracy should be encouraged.

[archy147] 06/11/2019 19:22

Yeah I bought in at 590p and haven’t looked back really

Have listened to the full presentation about future strategy from earlier this year and feel this has some serious growth prospects.

As it is, I’ve told myself I’ll settle for a return to the days when the share price was over 900p, so holding out for a 50% return.

[fizzypop] 05/11/2019 13:03

Definitely on a roll today amd I'm up 25% on my 520p purchase.
A LTH on IGG as looks promising.

[aleman] 05/11/2019 08:09

Looks like it's about to jump the gap to the 700-800p range.

[gbh2] 05/11/2019 08:06

Still doing well given the state of many other SB companies!

[archy147] 24/10/2019 10:38

That’s nice it seems to be driving up the price today ;)

Divi payday tomorrow.

I also use iWeb with share ISA account and found the service excellent

[woodhawk] 16/10/2019 10:53

gbh2,

iWEB (part of Halifax BS) also charge £5 per trade (no minimum no. of trades per month) but platform facilities nowhere near as good as IG. They do pay divis promptly & I've never had any probs with them.

[gbh2] 16/10/2019 10:37

I've had a share ISA with IG for around three years which I trade in and out of most days, in my experience they usually take a couple of days to part with a Dividend.

IF I understand it correctly that's something to do with where the cash initially lands and an internal transfer prior to being distributed to Holders.

No problems during my time with them and I think their £5 trading fee is the cheapest available :)

[hpcg] 16/10/2019 10:00

Yes, I have the full suite of accounts with IG, and also with other providers. Main thing for me is the sharp FX conversion, in comparison with HL for example that rape and pillage. Also DMA, which is essential for the Nasdaq as the HF front running will always move the price against. Just leave the limit there and it comes back. My experience is their customer service has improved a lot, especially when it comes to corporate actions.

[woodhawk] 16/10/2019 09:07

pngaseF,

I have dealing, ISA and SIPP accounts with IG (I also have/had 5 other accounts with other dealing platforms). Apart from the perennial problem of late payment of dividends (which I thought had been getting marginally better of late) I find IG Index the best for facilities and for customer relations. The one thing they do need to do is sort out the infuriating dividend late payments.

[apad] 16/10/2019 08:50

My experience is precisely the opposite - great customer service and they asked me to comment on possible website improvements. Contact both by email and phone and they were patient with me if I was asking a muppet question.
I only buy and sell shares.
HeyHo 😊

Do any of you IGG shareholders have dealing accounts with IG?? Just curious. Just wanted to say how AWFUL their customer service is and I'm still waiting on a dividend which is 2 weeks late. Despite me getting in touch with IG they DON'T CARE. Not a good way to run a business. I'll unfortunately be closing my dealing account with them as soon as is practical.

[luderitz] 15/10/2019 21:18

Well said wildshot.

[wildshot] 15/10/2019 14:45

Thanks investorschampion, maybe best that you advise readers that this is behind a paywall. There has been recent discussions about people posting paywall links on advfn and this not being obvious to readers. Maybe you could give people who click on the link a free trial to understand the quality of your content so they can decide if they want to subscribe?

Otherwise, just posting paywall links to sites you have a vested interest in can leave a negative impression for some advfn readers who think you are just pushing your site rather than adding to the debate about the share in question.

[11_percent] 10/10/2019 21:02

So....where is it going to stop this time.....555 again.

[gbh2] 08/10/2019 08:13

So pleased I sold these prior to the ex divi day, less pleased I started buy back just below 600p.
