No chance of 200 and probably zero chance of them going bust. But overvalued with today's news yes.

[larva] 06/12/2016 13:07

Gonna fall out of indices soon at this rate :)

[toolsmoker] 06/12/2016 12:55

Stops below 500p

Messrs Hewson and Wallace were full of confidence and bluster at the recent Dublin roadshow, sucking in new victims. Just shows, one doesnt know whats around the corner.

To me, this is massively overdone. The time to short was yesterday!

[weemonkey] 06/12/2016 12:44

Agree the only way to short this will be through CMC or similiar and vice versa..

Can be done elsewhere but complex

Andy, thanks mate

[the oxford whale] 06/12/2016 12:38

LiquidKid - that isn't true. There are plenty of brokers that let you short actual shares as a retail punter. Interactive brokers for one.

You have never been able to trade IG shares at IG. Much like advfn do not allow any advfn threads.

[declan2] 06/12/2016 12:29

are they fishing for stops today...eh ? :)

[deanroberthunt] 06/12/2016 12:22

no problem,

[rhatton] 06/12/2016 12:22

But again can anyone shed light on why you can't trade IG on IGs site? Conflict of interest if their hedging?

[rhatton] 06/12/2016 12:21

Dean Robert. Thanks for the useful reply.

[liquidkid] 06/12/2016 12:20

The irony is that a spread bet or CFD
IS. THE. ONLY. WAY.
to SHORT SELL a financial instrument as a retail punter.
And in the example above i.e. shorting IG you will need very very deep pockets to cover your margin.
So another irony is that the Leverage ratio will have nothing to do with it
And then there's the borrow fee.

[toolsmoker] 06/12/2016 12:18

I hope below 500p also im going balls deep

[deanroberthunt] 06/12/2016 12:13

dunno, how's life after boxing? still doing the coke?

[rhatton] 06/12/2016 12:08

How come you can't spreadbet IG using the IG platform? Has it always been like this

hope so, the more it falls the bigger the subsequent rise and dividend

Sub 500p coming big stops about to go off

[andysand] 06/12/2016 11:58

Looks like I am wrong. Too early. Still falling.

Very nice balance sheet there with net cash and cash equivalents of £0.5 billion. Makes the size of the today's drop look even more extreme.
