IG is superb for me. I trade shares weekly on ISA.Better than the rest, no outages for me

Too true muzmanoz.

Not sure if Energeticbacker is the same person behind the InvestorsChampion user name who used to constantly spam these ADVFN boards promoting their website which I'm not inclined to use. I lost even my faintest risk of an interest in their analysis when they posted here a few months ago that they were surprised IG held their dividend at the same level as before. As I pointed out this had already been signalled in previous company announcements. Just goes to show how "in-depth" analysis Investors Champion must perform. I'm inclined to block Energeticbacker from my feeds.

Not a great sell for investors champion when you can't post about the right company.

Impressive interim results.

Adjusted operating profit increased by 13.3% to $32.4m but reported profit was only $17.1m after $13.1m of adjusting items.

Investor's Champion struggles to agree with many of the adjusting items which this acquisitive business incurs with regularity and represent, after all, a permanent loss to shareholders. The LTIP charge of $2.4m, while non-cash, is still a dilution and cost to shareholders and a permanent feature of the numbers.

Any experiencing problems with IG. I deal shares with them and am getting the error when trying to buy shares

'Market not available online
The market you have requested is no longer available online'

I'm getting the error on all shares! i'm just trading shares so it shouldn't effect them. I'm basically locked out right now!

[growthpotential] 17/11/2020 01:13

Any more details on those 3 growth drivers?

Good to know, thx Garycook!

[garycook] 16/11/2020 11:53

Hargreaves Lansdown.One of the best,but you have to pay for quality,Dividend paid on payment day,and around 12 Noon Interactive Investor even better the dividend is credited to your account before the market opens on payment day.DYOR

Barclay's are the same (late payers) but their trading platform is the best I've used in 20 years having tried most brokers so not a great problem.

[woodhawk] 16/11/2020 10:36

I like IG generally - the only bugbear is the irritating late payments. The downside with iWEB, although I find divi payments very reliable, is that the platform is prehistoric. I only use them so as not to have all my eggs in one basket.

IG are always slow to pay dividends, they told me it's something to do with some obscure movement of cash between where it arrives in their organisation and where it's Paid out, in their favour is it does arrive and their regular trading cost is only £3.

[cwa1] 16/11/2020 10:19

Slightly ironic @woodhawk in that iWeb are invariably the slowest of my brokers-often a day or two later than the rest. I have stock in one that has paid today(the due date) in three different brokers but not iweb yet for example :-(

That certainly doesn't say much for IG if they are even worse ;-)

[woodhawk] 16/11/2020 10:11

I have complained to IG about late payment of divis many times - I reckon average in my case was 3-5 days late (I also use iWEB who are always on the ball and invariably pay within a day of actual payment date). All sorts of shoddy excuses from IG. Had been getting better lately - not convinced it will last.

[apad] 16/11/2020 08:40

can anyone who uses IG tell me about their divi schedules? i am used to dividends arriving a day late but now they are not showing in the morning of the day after they are due.

IGG,Solid core holding.The best one to hold, out of the 3,with CMCX,& PLUS

[podgyted] 16/11/2020 01:44

As can be seen from last weeks action on Plus500 the market is concerned about market losses.

IGG hedges all trades so wouldn't you think potentially this might be a good position to hold (excludes the market risk of Plus500 - the VIX has been high for so long)

[luderitz] 10/11/2020 20:58

I’m out at the moment just waiting to get in when things become clearer.

[peddlers] 10/11/2020 12:47

Other shares I am holding are Morgan Sandall, BT, ITV, Vectura, CMCX, stock spirits, telecom plus etc

[luderitz] 10/11/2020 12:33

Me too PK.

[prokartace] 10/11/2020 12:26

More used to seeing big moves in this share but maybe thats mostly on published news/results from this and similar companies. It has been my habit to buy on over-reaction to news starting with the tightening up of gearing on retail clients, and several times since. It remains my current most successful trading share as well as excellent dividends

[peddlers] 10/11/2020 12:20

Yeah I reckon earning will up again

[gbh2] 10/11/2020 11:46

Yep much more interesting today,

[peddlers] 10/11/2020 11:00

Ticking up nicely

[peddlers] 10/11/2020 09:55

I see Robbie Burns has a short term target of just under 900 for IG group.
His targets seem to burst through quite regularly.
I am pretty confident this will be exceeding £9 on current fundamentals
More if there is an upgrade
