Hi Cheapshares long time hope you well.
On this occasion, I think I disagree with you for once (in that IG is on way down). The thing is, it's extremely costly to set up brokerages globally, especially in US. There are plenty of other brokers who can't stand shoulder to shoulder against IG. They are the ones that will fail, surely?
I'm sure June Felix, coming from banking background herself, knows the ins and outs. She knows people. She's aware of "the game", you know? I hope that doesn't sound too conspiratorial.
Don't get me wrong I'm not a fan of her, this move is extreme (I've already reduced my holding here several weeks ago), but if it means less cost to the business, and the cost benefit ratio is there, then? I mean, she wouldn't have decided this if there wasn't any analysis in place? Retail/professional traders might not like this move, but IG are a money making machine - fact.
Go easy on your reply, jmo!
