LCG if held will be almost everyone's worst performer. However, it does not preclude it from being their best.
If you look at revenue vs. mcap LCG is undervalued by a multiple of 10-20x vs. it's competitors - where does it fall down? Not enough revenue and overheads too high. What's it doing about it? Increasing revenue overseas and through brand advertising and reducing overheads.
Do not underestimate Charles-henri, he has pound signs over his eye balls and nothing else. He'd love nothing more than to eat away at Saxo Banks CFD/Spread business given their history.
