London Capital Hldgs Share Discussion Threads

domple - They can increase shareholder value, but profits must come first. The company has the ability to buy back shares (indeed also the ability to issue more), but given we're not sitting on a fat cash pile it's not prudent to buy back...yet.

Sellers creating a drop, not enough interest to buy at the moment - management in a closed period so couldn't buy back even if they wanted. I'm not margined here (own shares outright) so just watching really, but I suspect a few are so the drop may be forcing more sales from leveraged positions....

Keep your eyes out for a few more 'chunky' sales. The instis who dropped off the shareholder register prior to results may be cleared off the books soon.

shame the management cant increase shareholder value.

LCG thrives on volatility. I would say that it is picking up despite VIX indications. Other indicators suggest investors are getting more worried about volatility and are trying to hedge against in ways other than VIX.



There have been allegations VIX is being rigged.

slip sliding away..

[dusseldorf] 05/7/2017 15:53

Surprised to see the bid hold today 575,000 shares without reply. Perhaps a drop is on the cards tomorrow if selling continues.

[dusseldorf] 04/7/2017 23:17

I think LCGs online presence is pretty good at present, I guess they are aiming for excellent, not just good. 1p? Sounds good to me, I can buy more at less than half the price(!). I don't rate the chances of it dropping much further though (a peak below 2 for a pop-up perhaps as traders still clearing). The 'fuss' is over and time for day traders to make way for investors.I took total 200k today @2.17 for a sunny day. The market still needs some more tangible signs of recovery - not sure a trading update will be forthcoming in next few weeks, but interims end Sept is plenty soon enough for me.

[backtogo] 04/7/2017 22:56

LOL by time those are recruited, bedded in, plan implemented.. say hello to 2019 results 1p soon

[dusseldorf] 04/7/2017 11:34

bloody expensive noise

[dusseldorf] 03/7/2017 12:17

backtogo - currently there are more sellers than buyers, same thing it always tells people - the converse is also true (i.e. last week) when the price rises. It's meaningless though if you take a medium/long-term view. Either the company ultimately recovers, or it does not therein lies your risk, but that has nothing to do with share price 'today'.

The co. has demonstrated before the market is not currently interested in shares - any further funding will be limited.

I have my core holding and will add as funds permit. The fact there was no current trading update in FY16 leads me to believe we are probably due one, but if not, a wait until end Sept it is.

Everything else is just noise.

[backtogo] 03/7/2017 11:15

so what is the price telling you now?

[topvest] 02/7/2017 18:09

Yes, some signs of recovery. Not sure I trust Mr Sabet though. Think the original deal that allowed the new investors (mostly him)to take a majority stake at 5p was unfair as he should have been investing at over 20p. Sabet is also sucking the company dry with £675k of salary and £1.2m through the Licence fee in note 32. That's a lot of cash being taken out of the business at this stage of its development. I've lost most of my money in this accident prone company. I'm going to hold on in the off chance something remarkable happens. Unlikely though. You can't make a good deal with a bad person to quote Warren Buffet.

the share price is languishing at base - the turnaround is partially working as the numbers clearly show - but taking longer than folks hoped - I suspect because the business was acquired in a death spiral phase with regulatory interference on the horizon so not a straightforward turnaround job - hard turnarounds take longer as more restructuring, repositioning required - co's like IG have strategically diversified their offering - and plus500 employ aggressive digital marketing & onboarding - so LCG needs the 'swings to profits' headline and poss to broaden their product range to attract a wider audience & to hard confirm both tactically & numerically the new life cycle - so not a solid long or short is my read until that comes through.
They do hint at widening the offering in the RNS - so sounds like they are aware

[backtogo] 01/7/2017 17:05

dunno, what's the price telling you?

[luckymouse] 30/6/2017 20:41

im not in - said so before? - wrong yet again lol
rev up 50%
loss down 50%
gross profit up 100%

you saying the turnaround isnt starting to take effect??

[backtogo] 30/6/2017 17:22

what a surprise! luckymouse taking a beating from a dog share (again)

[luckymouse] 30/6/2017 15:25

Dusseldorf - no point chatting to him - just another penny basher - favorite sayings are 'xxx is a piece of xxx' and '1p soon' - more or less the extent of his BB repertoire.

That fact is the turnaround has half worked - but prob wont get buyers flooding until they swing to profit - the new ctrader platform is mostly aimed at scalpers

[backtogo] 30/6/2017 14:46

Düsseldorf LCG are old hat. Have you actually used them?There's a ton of far better competition out there. Platform is terrible, customer service rubbish. I moved to LMAX a couple of years back.Destined to go no where. Fast.

[dusseldorf] 30/6/2017 14:14

It's greedy PI's, who failed on a quick buck backtogo, nothing more. Little has changed and the results are actually in-line and progressing well. FCA also hanging onto coat tails of the EU bodes well. I'd be surprised not to see a trading update in July prior to End-Sept interims. Interims will be a better baramoter of current trading given it will be the first time we see some of the cost saving measures kick in and post 2017 promotion activity and 2016 data is 6 months old.

[backtogo] 30/6/2017 13:39

told you this was a dog a company being left behind by its competitors. less than 1p soon

[topvest] 29/6/2017 19:03

Well at least they are still fighting with vague signs of a turnaround. Not a 100% loss just yet!

[jasonrogers] 29/6/2017 17:42

Hi LuckyMouse,

If FXCM were acting as a market maker on NDD forex execution we would not have suffered more than $200 million dollars in losses during the SNB flash crash.

On NDD forex execution, every order is offset one-for-one with a liquidity provider. The trader has a position with FXCM and FXCM has an offsetting position with the liquidity provider. When the trader went into a debit balance, that meant FXCM also had a debit balance with the liquidity provider that had to be covered. So what you are implying is at odds with what actually happened.

How does our NDD model work?

Multiple liquidity providers compete to provide the best prices on FXCM's NDD execution model. Each liquidity provider streams through a direct feed of executable buy and sell prices to FXCM. FXCM's No Dealing Desk Price Engine selects the best buy price and the best sell price, which result in the best available spread. There is no markup added to FXCM's Standard No Dealing Desk account type, making our spreads transparent and some of the lowest in the industry.

When you place an order, each order is offset one for one with a liquidity provider. This eliminates the conflict of interest between us and the trader. To the liquidity provider, all orders appear as Market Orders from FXCM and contain no information about the trader. Since your stops, limits, and your entry orders are invisible to these price providers, we create an environment free of price manipulation. When we combine this with no re-quote trading you have the opportunity to confidently trade all market conditions, even during key news events.

How does our DD model work?

For traders wanting to start with a smaller account balance, we offer traditional dealing desk model where FXCM acts as the counterparty and determines the prices and spreads. It's worth noting that FXCM uses the same base price for DD execution on Mini accounts (before adding a fixed markup) as the base price we use for our NDD execution (before adding the commission). That's a key reason you can have confidence trading with FXCM regardless of the account type you choose.

A list of FXCM's liquidity providers and more information about NDD execution can be found here hxxps://www.fxcm.com/uk/why-fxcm/liquidity-providers/
