Re: Why is the sp going down so much? Shareordie, many thanks for your reply to my original post. Hopefully the drop will just be a blip and the sp will recover. I have done very well with IG and intend to continue holding. All the best.
Re: Why is the sp going down so much? [link] know for sure,but someone on lse spotted this,I get that this guy has helped develop the platform but I’m sure IG can find a replacement.
Why is the sp going down so much? Does anyone know why the SP has gone down so much over the last few days?
Re: Sold 1/3rd "But are you tempted to buy back now?"shareordie, bit of a fluke in timing, however, my reasons for selling a third was to take advantage of other stuff and the fact that IG Group has largely recovered from it's very much oversold position.I still retain it at 2.15% of my portfolio at the price on my screen of 780. It makes money nicely IG Group and is pretty well established.Games
Re: Sold 1/3rd I decided to hold, because when the market is volatile, I want to be invested in a business that makes money from it.
Re: Sold 1/3rd Good call GI.But are you tempted to buy back now?
Re: Update on rules Hopefully the shorters on this stock today are using IG Index.
Re: Update on rules Also they say back to company growth in 2019 ,in my book that's not bad at all.
Update on rules A 10% hit obviously isn't good but it's also not to bad at the same time,I believe that the company can now move on and prepare for the future,and it can still pay that nice chunky dividend.Expansion outside of the EU may be targeted more now but I think they were already doing that,and we may find that when clients are faced with restrictions they will choose the professional account.But I feel a good healthy business will still prevail and maybe this will get rid of the rouge competitors.
Re: Update It seems increased volatility in the US is rubbing off on the UK and that is good for business,IG have got one of the best platforms for shorting.
Re: Sold 1/3rd We there is nothing wrong with taking a profit, although it does depend on the next financial report if this goes higher or not.And like you say the outcome of the regulation.A good outcome and this could go much higher,and a bad outcome could see it lower.
Sold 1/3rd Taken a 55% gain on a third selling at 852.Pondering taking more -- It's still 2.5% of my wad.I wonder will this be one of it's better moments given the regulatory bods could come up with all manner of restrictions.Games
Update That’s what I call an update !Nice RNS well received by the market,you rarely get positive updates like this one.
Re: Boiiing! Hope you are right M, it's been on my Watchlist since 258.5p on the 11th June 2009 and I've never taken the plunge, until last week @ 745.25p - nice to see a quick 8% uplift but intend to hold these for a good while.F.
Boiiing! Share price rebounding nicely. No guarantee that it will stay like that, but says something about the quality of the stock.
