RNS regarding the redemption of shares worth 50p per share from the proceeds of a recent sale. Good news to end the week!

[quepassa] 10/5/2018 10:36

Could talk about the merits and demerits of brokers all day long.....

if you want personalised then a small voice broker can do more but they charge 1-2% per trade which is enormous compared the the £5/£10 to £12 for online.

i know that when ig started share dealing two or three years ago ( as a new dept to their excellent spread-betting services) that they were a bit rocky but hopefully they have better systems in place now.

good luck.

I've had problems with Hargreaves Lansdown which make me unable to recommend them. For example (sorry for OT) they routinely refuse trades in companies which have announced plans to delist at a later date, on the grounds that we "might not be aware" the company planned to delist. Pointing out that I am aware does no good. Also after certain events which involve a temporary suspension or corporate restructure, they delay the restoration of trading far longer than necessary. The last time ERET did a compulsory partial redemption, HL did not restore them to trading for over a week after the new shares were admitted. IWeb took 22 minutes. Thats 22 minutes too long, of course, but HL's performance was ridiculous, and it's not an isolated example.

I've opened an IG account now, so I'm spread over three brokers. Not ideal.

in my opinion the likes of lloyds and barclays/Smart are terrible. They are all about processes, manufacturing mentality, numbers games. anything complicated they want to wash their hands of it.

i closed all my accounts with the clearers many moons ago. some very good platforms around like hargreaves lansdown and iii which have far higher standards.

if it's a quoted/listed share on the UK market, fundamentally i don't comprehend how they can willy-nilly deem it to be for sophisticated investors.

mpo is a property investor - plain and simple - not really any different to any other company or fund which invests in property.

good luck.

[zangdook] 08/5/2018 15:15

Apparently not. The person I spoke to reckons Lloyds only accepts "retail investors".

[quepassa] 08/5/2018 14:35

that's weird because it is a quoted/listed share.



sometimes brokers ask you to categorise yourself either as a non-sophisticated investor or self-certified sophisticated investor or high net worth investor if you meet certain criteria

Do you have the option at Lloyds to change/ self-certify your classification to sophisticated investor/high net worth investor?

[zangdook] 08/5/2018 13:44

Lloyds Banking Group and its subsidiary brokers Halifax and iWeb no longer allow clients to purchase shares in MPO because they have decided it is intended for "sophisticated investors" and is too good for proles such as bank at Lloyds.

What a bloody pain.

Two important announcements this morning:

1. The quarterly NAV update reveals an excellent uplift this quarter of 2.3%.

That's a lot! Consider that the uplift in the previous quarter to 31/12/18 was 0.5%

Further points to an increasingly buoyant backdrop for real estate in Macau.


2. They are still considering all options. that can potentially mean a whole portfolio sale.

"All potential divestment options for the Company's remaining assets are continuing to be assessed with the goal of maximising exit values."





With a NAV of 247p against a current share price of 190p, the whopping 27% Discount-to-NAV appears to be a real bargain.

My estimate

[zangdook] 28/3/2018 22:44

Is that your estimate or from the company?

[jbarcroftr] 26/3/2018 16:30

So 35p capital return

For those who missed it.

MGM just opens new $3.4bn MEGA resort in Macau's Cotai gambling mecca.

The take in Macau now dwarves Las Vegas.

Macau economy beginning to storm forward. No wonder that someone has snapped up Senado Sq and no wonder that Sniper have in recent times been buying up MPO stock.

The potential upwards revaluations on MPO's remaining property portfolio look very alluring.

Additionally, word on the street is that Chinese New Year saw a great inflow of visitors to Macau.

Recent Bloomberg reports:

Up about 10% on the month and looking strong.

[hugepants] 15/2/2018 09:26

That's a very significant disposal given it is 50% the current market cap

[quepassa] 05/2/2018 07:20

A very credible 14% PREMIUM on Senado Square compared to a valuation just five weeks ago is excellent.

MPO are clearly keen to divest in line with their stated strategy but importantly at the right price and the right premium.

The premium achieved on Senado Sq bodes well for overall portfolio valuations and further disposals. Further underlines the returning health of the Macau economy and appetite for real estate.

ALL IMO. DYOR.

... Probably more annoying for those that were thinking of buying it out on the cheap though!

[zcaprd7] 12/1/2018 09:03

Indeed, river man spotted it, that's what caused the latest spike, typically after I sell (sigh)...

[quepassa] 12/1/2018 08:52

JUST SPOTTED THIS FROM A FEW DAYS AGO.

The Telegraph 4th. January.

Influential QUESTOR column about MACAU PROPERTY OPPORTUNITIES headed

"Questor’s trust bargain of the year: a 30pc discount – and why it should disappear in 2018"


hXXp://www.telegraph.co.uk/investing/funds/questors-trust-bargain-year-30pc-discount-should-disappear/



GOOD to see the share price break the 200p barrier today.

All looking very positive for further outperformance this year.

ADVFN SHOWING 900,000 BUYS versus 177,000 SELLS

[riverman77] 04/1/2018 14:45

There is often an intitial spike after Questor tips before retreating a bit as people lose interest - so I'd be tempted to wait a couple of weeks.

Nuts, wanted to get back in here...
