Essentially the short interest was mostly added in the lead up to the new rules coming into force. Around 9.5% short prior to the update on the 23/10/18 where by they said they would be trading ahead of expectations. Was this simply a case of them expecting a much larger impact from the new rules than has panned out.

Mind you I probably shouldn't have said that like it's a revelation!!

Small round objects, Technovator! The timing of the short attack suggests that it has SFA to do with the ancient and failed Cablecarcapital bear raid.

Interesting to note that probably around 120% of Plus is now held by the 'longs' ... and still the share price holds and is broadly on the rise. Something's got to give.

I know this is 3 1/2 years old however Plus failed to explain numerous points raised in Cablecarcapitals bear raid in 2015. I hasten to add that this is part of the reason why there is a 13% short in the market.

I'm just surprised that Elc didn't comment within minutes of Doomonger!!!! Get ready for Techno!

CMC is also confirming that clients are lasting longer post ESMA. Good.

[podgyted] 24/1/2019 07:32

CMC's TU points to a better enviroment for CFD providers as many here have pointed to in the past few months - good read across.

Doomonger, I salute your persistence. Your random technical analyses have proven me wrong - they are not, in fact, random - they are, in fact, persistently wrong.

Impressive stuff.

Plus500? It's going to be more like Minus500 by the end of the year. 1000p incoming based on my latest financial grad analysis.

Have just read as much as possible about PLUS online and tried their product. Just looking at negative points:
- Limited 'instruments'. Too much focus on cryptocurrencies and CFDs.
- Platform and apps appear quite basic from a technical point of view. Backend uses Windows/IIS.
- Israeli Auditors.
- Lawsuit.
- Suspicious behaviour flagged by Financial Times.
- Significant voting against board.
- Big sale by founder.
- Big sale by Playtech.
- Buybacks.
- Overly positive broker recommendations.
All this is highly subjective and there are positives as well, of course.
I would guess their results will, unlike IG Group, downplay the loss of revenue from ESMA and Cryptocurrencies and successfully manipulate the share price up in the short term. Shorting them could at some point be highly profitable as they are probably more prone to mishap, either regulatory or technical.
I'd say long IG Group and long PLUS for the short term, at least until the results. However, ultimately I don't fancy PLUS 500's platform or management when I compare to IG Group.
Then again, I probably would have been just as negative when PLUS was 400p.

Anyone who went short at £20 could have made good money
Anyone who really knew really bad news since this was £4 could surely not have resisted going short at £20
But anyone who was convinced at £4 let it get to £20 and THEN shorted at £12+...
surely had no faith in their info.....

Actually its 13% loaned to those whom have resold them

So its 100% in the hands of those going long - and 13% betting against them

You're missing out on untold riches. His calls are infamous for being totally wrong. I'd follow the loser closely if I was you.
