Hmmmm. Anyway get hiding behind that screen and let the adults speak.

You have even managed to get me to stoop to your level. Apologies everyone thats the last time I react to the Stockbroker.

[bobmonkeyhouse] 21/3/2018 12:27

I was a stockbroker.

Now run along sunshine.

Rather than popping in a comment when it's down then going quiet when its up, why not wait and see if your prediction is right, you have another few days before you can rub everyones noes in it.
If you are an ex trader then you should know how the market works and know when to celebrate your predictions.

IG's Q3 this week? In addition to any Crypto comments the main point of interest to me will be the number of Professional Status sign ups.

IG Revenue as at November last year was split 5% Pro and 95% Retail! After IG's recent campaign to "invite" retail customers to move to Pro status, that split changed to 25% Pro and 75% Retail in January and their target is for over 50% Pro Revenue. (Pro status of course subject to Regulatory rules/hurdles)

So are ESMA shooting themselves in the foot driving retail customers to take professional status and more risk including loss of negative balance protection? (I still think ESMA will back pedal a little once they see the impact of their draconian proposals on leverage and/or the FCA will take a more sensible approach with higher leverage than ESMA proposals as the FCA originally proposed last year.)

Haven't visited IGs trading site for a few months. They have also increased their Crypto offering with 6 CFDs - I think it was 3 a few months back. Leverage looks quite tight compared to PLUS but at least they are now offering weekend crypto trading.

[noujay] 19/3/2018 18:56

Perhaps, just not in their view!

[noujay] 19/3/2018 18:33

Thanks SJ - if others getting in on it then clearly the crypto journey hasn't run its course in their view..which is likely to be considerably more nuanced that those here!

[sailing john] 19/3/2018 18:22

Missed this one - Dukascopy - yet another Broker (3 in a week now) about to offer CFDs on Cryptos due to Customer demand. Demo first then going live


So it looks like there is still a strong demand and Competitors are playing catch up with PLUS

Its a horrible company

[poolefox] 19/3/2018 12:19

What a complete waste of space you are

[bobmonkeyhouse] 19/3/2018 12:11

I agree there are brighter people around.....everyone and they dont need to make up lies either

[bobmonkeyhouse] 19/3/2018 11:34

poole, you arent too bright are you? I presume you are new to the game?

If you think my comments on this board will make a jot of difference to the share price then you are....again ....wrong. I have posted this already

PLUS is a horrible company.

[poolefox] 19/3/2018 11:23

Jplus hes not interested this has been relayed on this board several times.He just wants people to sell so he can make a quick profit and he will get out before results.The one with credibility is Sailing John,as mentioned before several large institutions have now bought into Plus,Odey have it as their two largest holding in both Absolute Return and Allegra Developed Markets over 10% in each,Morgan Stanley and Odey both own over 5% of the company.The company is growing expanding,highly profitable only 5 times forward earnings.Hes trying to induce short term panic to make a quick buck and he calls Plus a horrible company!!!

[jplus] 19/3/2018 10:56

Bob. The original founders sold their shares. Only one of whom has had any involvement in the running of the company in past two years. The current board who have driven growth for past two years aren't selling in fact have been buying. They original owners have been selling the whole way up,which is pretty normal diversification practise. They still remain significant shareholder at 16%. It has been no secret they have been trying to sell for past 6 months & failed each time. The fact they succeeded this time is interesting in my view, suggesting the sale was buyer lead, very possibly existing investors. Who will know the company extremely well.

For the record that bottom is 1065

[bobmonkeyhouse] 19/3/2018 09:50

i do not initiate the slanging but I will retaliate when morons like sailing joan make stupid posts which not only are lies but also contradict. HOw can I suddenly pop up when the pillock says that ive been saying to short them since 400? I made it quite clear who i used to post as, so she is no detective

Anyway, we will see.

[burn248] 19/3/2018 09:44

Is the 4 April the trading update ?
