Hey gang,

Could you tell me why theses 2 Cannabis stocks are not available on the Share Trading platform.

APHA  ( Aphria)  & ACB (Aurora) both listed on the NYSE now.

They are available on the CFD.

Is it possible to make them available to buy in the share platform?

 

Regards

Got the below mail from IG last night. Very frustrating. I'm sure this will force some people to take a loss. Absolute p**s take.

 

What broker are people looking at taking their stocks to after this?

OK well that's very disappointing. I'm from Australia so I will have to find a another broker. Anyone have any recommendations ??

Hi all,

Just to give you some more information about why the decision has been made by IG to stop offering Cannabis stocks for share dealing clients:

IG has become aware of various financial institutions performing reviews of the regulatory and political implications of offering Cannabis stocks in the UK with a recreational link, and because of this and IG's own internal review the stocks listed above are no longer appropriate for IG's risk appetite. 

Therefore there has been a business decision to take action as quickly as possible but within the legal allowances detailed in IG's Customer Agreement. 

Regarding why we can continue to offer these stocks on leverage accounts, the reason is that there is additional certainty with regards to derivatives referencing the underlying stocks, and as IG uses swaps to hedge our clients' leveraged trades with us, we will not be engaged in the physical trading of recreational linked cannabis stocks.

    • That's our hopes & I believe WAGMI cos I did also participate in the pre-trade at Bitget. Just get your Exchange's HMSTR address on your app with the memo then input for on-chain withdrawal.
    • The crypto market is buzzing with activity, and both Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) are making waves. Let’s break down the latest movements in their prices and what’s driving these changes. Bitcoin Price Update Bitcoin's price surge: BTC is now trading at $60,172, marking a 4.21% jump over the past 24 hours. Intraday performance: Bitcoin hit a low of $57,650.11 and a high of $60,656.72 today. ETF inflows: Bitcoin ETF inflows have risen to $263.07 million as of September 14. This influx of capital seems to be supporting BTC’s price surge. Market dominance: Bitcoin’s dominance increased by 0.37%, now standing at 56.56%. Market cap: Bitcoin's overall market capitalization has hit $1.19 trillion, reinforcing its leading position in the crypto world. Ethereum Price Update Ethereum’s rise: ETH price has climbed nearly 3% in the past 24 hours and is currently priced at $2,422, as per Coinpedia markets Intraday range: The second-largest cryptocurrency saw a low of $2,338.14 and a high of $2,462.80. ETF inflows: Ethereum ETFs have also seen positive inflows, with $1.52 million added as of September 14. Market cap: Ethereum’s total market cap now stands at $292.89 billion. Expert Insights: A Shift in Market Behavior? Crypto analyst ALI has shared some interesting data about the market activity of Bitcoin and Ethereum. According to ALI: Capital exiting BTC and ETH: Around $2.6 billion worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum has exited the market in the past week. This may be due to sluggish price action, suggesting that some investors are shifting to other altcoins. A possible altcoin pump: Despite the recent outflows, the total market cap has rebounded to $2 trillion, leading many to believe that a major pump may be on the horizon—not just for Bitcoin, but for altcoins as well. What’s Next for the Crypto Market? It looks like the crypto market could be gearing up for a strong rally. Both Bitcoin and Ethereum are seeing solid price movements, and with ETF inflows rising, investor confidence appears to be high. If the market continues to stabilize above the $2 trillion mark, we could see even more bullish activity in the coming days.
