I believe in fundamentals, not technicals. Sold CMCX in the 460s. That was correct on a 3 day horizon but now it's powered on higher and it may have run away

[fizzypop] 10/4/2021 20:17

The share price is now at the 3rd peak of 950p during the last 5 years.
Breakout or breakdown will soon be revealed. I'm out for the moment but ready to buy in again if the trend up continues.

Plenty left in the tank.

[rcturner2] 09/4/2021 15:18

I'm up nicely here but there is no way I am selling.

[fizzypop] 09/4/2021 14:56

Out for 24% gain at 947p. Good luck to holders.

Think this tastytrade is starting to taste reasonably palatable.

Now matching the previous peak mid-Jan 2021 and possible breakout above 900p.
NT bought recently with a target of 1000p.

SP going nowhere fast and its a long way to the next results!

Would have expected an uplift with CMC mkts

Buy = I'm getting paid to ramp this.

Hold = Sell

"Learn what moves markets when"

That's amusing. You can't know but I've been following the market and investing for many decades and I know for certain that broker notes like the above are useless as an investment guide. They rely on the fact that people forget about them almost as soon as they are published, but have you ever seen an analysis of past broker advice and how it worked out? You'd have long since given up on shares as a dead loss if you followed them.

As I said, the real reason they issue them at all is for advertising purposes, it helps to keep their name known. They know it's useless, every pro knows it's useless and I know it's useless. No serious investor would invest on the strength of this nonsense. It makes astrology look preferable as an investment guide.

Then there's the false small investor belief, which I'm guessing is what you mean, that they move markets very short term. Of course they don't because by the time they are published somewhere like this forum, any possible effect, even if it exists at all, is long since in the price. But like clockwork, small investors on all forums like this, repeat this rubbish in the belief that they are contributing some valuable information to other readers here. More like disinformation. And you are ignoring the fact that the market in large caps like IGG is made by the institutions who own most of the shares, the trades of the small private guy are irrelevant. Do you seriously think that big instittutional investors are influenced by some one line broker comment?

My advice? Make up you own mind about a share, maybe consider some serious analysis from certain trusted commentators if you feel the need, but never act on this sort of one-liner broker comment stating a "target" price and a single word suggestion like Buy or Hold. And notice that they very rarely say Sell as it may not be in their interest, even if that's what they really think.

Anyway, my angle is purely as an income investor, I'm only here for the dividends, and that usually means I hold shares, including IGG, for many years in most cases in my large port.

Broker opinion like this is worthless. Every pro knows that it's just advertising and none pay any attention. It seems to be only naive small investors who think these have any merit.

RBC RAISES IG GROUP PRICE TARGET TO 940 (930) PENCE - 'OUTPERFORM'

We've seen yield spikes before it's not a bad thing. We might have inflation but it'll be accompanied by growth so good inflation. Also remember not too long back when people were concerned about falling rates...

[chess123] 18/3/2021 15:43

Great rise since the update .

In the second part of a two-part update, Investor’s Champion has got reassuring news from three well-known names that have performed well during the pandemic, featuring IGG.

[hpcg] 11/3/2021 12:19

mdr - the IGG in IGs spread bet is Hong Kong listed IGG Incorporated.

tx galeforce
so what issue do they offer in sb igg?

[galeforce1] 11/3/2021 09:14

mdr - IG don't offer spread bets in their own stock. At least they didn't when I last tried to open one and I doubt the policy has changed.

If you want to Spreadbet IG you have to use another platform. Like Spreadex, which I opened to cover things that IG doesn't permit.
