Aphria Inc (U.S.) & Aurora Cannabis Inc -(U.S.)


Recommended Posts

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.
