As a stockbroker I trust ElC's judgement more than I would most here; he makes some cracking observations

How can a self proclaimed ex stockbroker be so thick

[elcapital2018] 25/1/2019 10:05

Falling like a stone now

you will see. i will have the last laugh you will see. Then you must all apologise

[elcapital2019] 25/1/2019 08:36

Anyone with half/quarter of a brain would not be losing so much money on a short due to some unsubstantiated "rumour" that can't ever be mentioned - its all BS.


Given many stocks have been in a bear market of late its also comical to go short of a company that has gone up so much. What mut punter would manage that genius trick! Always knew majority of stockbrokers are thick.

Invest/trade based on facts, evidence, research , interpretation & analysis.

Market is a great machine for transferring capital from those who can't/won't do the work from those who do - Lol.

Better to do some proper work than constantly be looking for pennies down the sides of your sofa to make margin calls.

Nice post Mr Harmer.

Poole fox he can't explain because he is Elc and he can't string together more than 2 sentences.

Doomongor explain you’re rationale for why Brexit is a problem for Plus instead of just making meaningless statements

The big secret that will cause Plus500 to crash…. Really? Possibly Plus500 cut a few corners in the early days before the regulators gave them a big slap on the wrists and caused the Playtech debacle, but things have changed. Since then,they have brought in senior management and directors that have a strong and trusted background in compliance, as well as many of the founders have stepped back from their executive roles. If there are some bad skeletons in the cupboard that the industry know about, then how come Plus 500 was allowed to move to the Footsie? Most of the founders are no longer employees of the company, and are selling shares to raise capital to use as venture capital in new potentially extremely more profitable start-up businesses. Plus 500 are generating huge revenues, and paying most of the profit back to shareholders – the suggestion that these dividends are funded by founders share disposals is laughable. The business is a technology business to profitably run an online trading system for amateur traders that are really just gamblers. They have a successful affiliate marketing network that delivers to the get rich quick novice day trader’s a simple to use platform, and that they will mostly end up either just losing their deposits by making bad calls, or eating it away with the fees associated with spreads and/or overnight funding. As with most gamblers, once they have a little bit of luck / success, they then go large, and blow the winnings. This same mentality also makes the gaming industry very profitable, and nobody is predicting that they will burn all their punters through churn, as one broke punter is replaced by another optimistic punter with a full wallet. Plus 500 realised before the regulators enforced it, that negative balance protection was a gold mine… if the mix of gearing and volatility was high, it was very probable that a share price would dip below the margin, and closing the position was a win for the house. If it went the other way, the punter would not want to close the position until it was falling again as they were hoping it would continue in the direction they wanted. The shorters are Hedge Funds, known for giving their investors relatively poor returns on their investments due to a mixture of taking risks and charging exorbitant fees. They are most probably playing a game with Plus500 as they don’t like the fact that they are not “City Boys”.

You guys have no idea sorry

[poolefox] 24/1/2019 22:44

Well said Base yes Brexit and volatility is fantastic for Plus I reiterate your thoughts

[base7] 24/1/2019 22:34

Brexit uncertainty results in the volatility which generates substantial revenues for Plus(& IGG & CMC).As I am long,& have been since 130p,I am surprised that we are the most shorted stock on The Market & I am hoping for & expecting the strong results signalled in recent trading updates together with (yet)another very decent dividend.
There also remains scope for news of new Markets in which we may soon be operating.
Interesting to see at what point shorters will start closing & whether they all start closing at the same time

[doomongor] 24/1/2019 20:57

Things are not looking good for this company with Brexit on the horizon; share price going to tumble off the cliff any day now you will see

[elcapital2018] 24/1/2019 20:48

a tiny fraction from one hedge fund could be for all sorts of reasons

he seems to think a 13% move is really important

[rhatton] 24/1/2019 20:44

Well it’s gone down a little from yesterday anyway.

[elcapital2018] 24/1/2019 20:33

on that basis a 13% short must be disastrous for the company!

[elcapital2018] 24/1/2019 20:33

its updated daily!
