Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
It was a bargain no doubt about it,glad I picked up quite a few at a decent price,the regulation seems to have been dealt with and we are moving on from that now. How many customers will move to professional accounts when faced with the restrictions? Mainly people don't like restrictions so I could be quite a lot,then we have expansion into areas outside of these restricted countries. Also increasing volatility helps IG make more money so with the markets increasing volatility we could do very well. That nice fat dividend is good while I hold on to these. IG is one of or the market leader in this business and has been around a long time,I'm sure they will flourish with the new restrictions as they were already doing some of the restrictions before anyway.
It�s a bullish move to buy so many shares,I consider Mr Habib to be very shrewd so hopefully he sees this as a good point to pick up shares before the March upwards.
I wonder how many customers when faced with restrictions will want to change to a professional account, Anyway with the regulation clear now and the hit seems to be 10% the dividend looks safe and growth after 2019 seems reasonable.If the markets stay volatile or it increases in volatility IG could still bring good results in. I�ve still got all my shares and am keeping them,it�s a good job I don�t use stop losses after yesterday.
Today,You rarely get updates over forcast earnings this good, market reaction is good.
Very happy with the progress so far,looks like administration costs are lower and they are targeting lower operational cost savings. The review of the business looks to be bringing positive changes that will see a tighter operation going forward. I think with these results the NAV discount should narrow considerably going forward. 33% LTV isn�t very high and with the changes made this business is well on the way to recovery.

Those administrators can get there mitts on anything can't they.Thought protected accounts couldn't be touched. Not good,but sounds like you were lucky.
Simon Thompson in IC,gave a very good write up about First property. Off memory,it spoke about good management,how the last property management deal was based on % of profit and that could give us quite a boost instead of a fee based deal. And the possibility of more deals to come. All in all a glowing write up,I'm still confident we will do well here as the management are such good property managers and know there stuff.
It should be in a protected account like escrow as far as I can remember so it should be classed as yours but it might take a while for you to get it. It shouldn't be lost. Also the government protects investments but I don't know about the cash balance, anyway I think it's up to �80,000 So your �58 quid should be ok
Bought some yesterday and some today,I like the big NAV discount and the income this produces both in dividend yield and the property income. LTV looks good . Of course they have had some troubles recently but hopefully a change of management will get these back on track.I like the Hello student platform and the properties look second to none. I'm thinking that maybe these should trade at NAV within 12 months. Which is around 20% increase and the cracking dividend. So I am in for the recovery.
Considering the extra volatility in the markets lately FPO seems quite steady , maybe we are due a bit of a price revival. News has been quite as well, normally a deal or two a quarter here,but all quiet.
Good update today, dividend up , profits up,NAV up by quite a bit really. Small debt even smaller. Same as the other messages on here,sure and steady.
It seems we have volatility returning to the markets and that should be good for IG earnings,although the share price isn�t holding up the whole market is falling.
It seems to get traded a lot, so like you say it quickly reached �8 but had a lot of sell orders at that point, hopefully now they have been dealt with it clears the way . I don't blame folks for taking some profit.

Seems a fair assessment MTB I�m also impressed with the results and hopefully should give igg plenty more momentum going forward. Also they seemed to say the new rules won�t stop the business from growing,which is very good news.
Big rise today seems it did rebound quite quickly. Roll on results day 23rd January.
Looks like today's FCA news has sent the price down a bit,look s over done to me. IG said no impact other than steps already taken. Just looks like excuse to short, probably rebound like last time.
I don't know how you have gone from a change in regulation to CFD being the new PPI,as long as customers have clicked agree on the account documentation I would imagine it would be very difficult to claim for anything.
" But the core of the bisiness is profit from losses on bets" I disagree,most of the bets are balanced and in cases where there isn't balance they hedge so they don't take the risk . on your argument the LSE should be closed down in the times of a stock market crash,but in reality they make money on the spread,and so do IG. And let's not forget the broking business. The fund management businesses cream more money out of clients than IG do. People like Goldman have bet against clients many times and what's said about that.
