dive perhaps being the most realistic outlook for this stock!

taken profits today, sold @ 4.50 reason numis & others may not want to target
stock, or talk about it, i just feel there is no smoke without fire, chase rns 8 dec
bought more, will come back along with more certinity BB

onboarding to show more customers, brokers showing increase in profit forcast
now shown in £ comment on short must be below 0 . 5 % outsiders have no
evidence, . will continue to hold, s/p £6 29.3.16 BB

nifty 50 share tip, to sell plus,storm clouds, why when today rns buy more berenborg
800 T i would like to know true story BB ps do not subscribe to nifty fifty, does
any one here on money AM .

22.4.16 advfn bullitin board say ODEY have sold, not true total voting rights
increased. bb not in at this moment doubts could be ill founded.

Having researched this company over six months ago I suggest today's news from the regulator may be far worse than immediately apparent.

The marketing budget required to generate new punters can be cut to protect profits but then you've got less profits generated in the first place

odey increase 6-12-16 @ 310p approx . black bird still not in sold in april.

I would not touch this company with someone else's bargepole even at this price.

IG might be a more interesting play

Liberum note on 3rd Jan:
"We continue to value Plus500 at 10x CY18 EPS. Our new TP of 1,232p (previous: 1,069p) offers potential upside of 21% and an ETR of 28%. We believe our methodology reflects appropriate caution ahead of the implementation of the proposed ESMA leverage limits during the current year, the impact of which remains difficult to accurately predict."

Berenberg note:
"Customer numbers growing strongly: After re-engineering its marketing spend at the end of 2016, throughout the first nine months of 2017 Plus has been able to attract higher-value clients and do so at a lower cost. The only customer number figure released today is the annual number of new customers who have joined – at 246,000 it is 136% higher than the 2016 level and materially higher than the 96,373 ytd number reported at Q3. This suggests that Plus added c150,000 new customers in Q4 alone, in part likely due to the rapid growth in interest in the crypto-currency market.
Better than expected revenue generation: This level of growth in new customers, combined with the information available at the present time, makes it quite hard to analyse the component moving parts, but we believe revenue outturn at around $425m for 2017 looks reasonable, c10% above our previous estimate of $386m. Thereafter, revenue growth will be affected by the sustainability of crypto-currency interest, the extent to which the ARPU of a crypto-currency investor differs from a non-crypto investor, in our view, and the impact of future regulation.
Outlook: With the company trading so strongly in 2017, attention now turns to the rest of 2018 and regulation. ESMA updated the market on its views at the end of December, with the key conclusion being that the regulator will focus on limiting the amount of leverage that can be used with contracts for difference (CFDs) – to between 1:5 and 1:30, depending on the volatility of the underlying asset – along with areas such as margin close-out rules, negative balance protection and restrictions on marketing. We understand that there will be a short consultation period with the final implementation likely due by June 2018 at the earliest, and that all the CFD companies are now assessing the magnitude of the impact and the changes in competitor and customer behaviour that it is likely to imply. We would also pay attention to the potential for any regulatory changes affecting the crypto-currency markets and the leveraged trading of CFDs within that."
