It was closing a long spread bet he took out a few weeks ago which had made money on

Very strange director shorting IG to the tune of £422000. I'm not sure if he holds the shares or its a straight short on the market. Either way it can't help the share price I'm a bit surprised he's allowed to do it. Also he can't have done it through IG as they don't trade their own shares

Looks fairly solid. I see Robinhood backed off moving in on the UK market. I like their strategy, there's still a few more things they can do to pull away from the pack. Their US counterparts on much higher market caps are still leading the way on that front on servicing the DIY wealth management market, but IG could be heading that way.

Fingers x. I didn't know it has been shorted.

ODEY ASSET MANAGEMENT LLP short .82% ....got this one wrong . As soon as they start to close their short , the price will rise quicker than expected .

Broker upgrades sure to follow shortly , semi re-rate , upwards only from here towards £10 quite quickly methinks . Excellent

Number active clients increasing by >30% compared last FY. That tells they have done something right either in their platform and service.

Quarter on quarter fall in net trading revenue 259m to 209m. Still a great number but that´s a steep fall (as it was a steep rise!) Is it going to fall off a cliff when all the new accounts have lost their shirt and gone back to work? Will be interesting to see...

Nice one, gbh2. Obviously, I don't trade as much as you.

[gbh2] 17/9/2020 08:24

woody, I'm getting them free too.

I think the majority expected revenues to drop back to pre-Covid levels, but demand is still healthy which is excellent news and the shares should jump even higher.

[woodhawk] 17/9/2020 08:21

Still £3 for UK trades, tho?

[gbh2] 17/9/2020 08:18

I'll put up with the Dividend payment delays now they no longer charge me dealing commission :))

[woodhawk] 17/9/2020 07:54

Exactly, royaloak. IG is my main platform - I think the service is generally excellent - only let down by a marked slowness in paying dividends.

If you find a product that you think is good and you are happy with then consider having a few shares in it.

[gbh2] 17/9/2020 07:18

Be nice to Close the gap created 23rd July :)

Strong results and trading well, good chance of this climbing into 850-900p range over the next few weeks.

[woodhawk] 17/9/2020 06:51

Superb results and nice fat ex-divi next Thursday.

Q1 revenue of £209m versus consensus revenue forecast of £591m for the whole year is a very good result.

[galeforce1] 17/9/2020 06:19

These look better than I was expecting.

[irishmatt] 17/9/2020 06:13

Results look decent in my view but will see how the market reacts

[gbh2] 16/9/2020 11:48

SP suggests expectations are ok, but not great. Edit, maybe ok was a bit strong given today's drop.
