Lonmin to sibanye open cfd nightmare.


Recommended Posts

Ok guys.. so I'm a complete newbie that seems to have got in a pickle on my first cfd trade.

I opened a long cfd position on Friday 7th June. To find that the shares were suspended on Monday morning. After doing some research I discovered that Lonmin were been bought by sibanye gold and trading was suspended until shares in Lonmin are converted to sibanye at 1:1. This seems like a great deal for Lonmin share holders @ a value of 0.75 to 4.02.

So as it stands at the moment I have my cfd equity held  by IG for this trade.

I've tried contacting IG about this and keep getting directed from one department to another finishing with the promise of an email that will explain everything.

Twice I've phoned and no Email back.

Apparently anyone trading in Lonmin shares were emailed in May, giving options. 

As I didn't trade until Friday I didn't get an email or get the chance to act accordingly.

The one thing I've been told by IG is that they dont deal with south African shares.

The worst case scenario is that I lose my equity and the open position stays locked out and dare I say the best case is I end up getting the difference in price between the two in nominal value.

Firstly am I entitled to this with a cfd trade or not.

If I am then can I transfer the cfd to another broker that does deal with SA shares.

Any advise would be great thanks.

And yes I should have done my research first.

Thanks,

Chris

    • I've been exploring the world of play-to-earn gaming recently, looking for something that's not just about endless grinding but actually offers a fun and rewarding experience. OGC really stood out to me because it combines gaming with a sense of community in a unique way. OGC isn't just a game; it's a platform where you can play, earn, and even help shape its future. You're not just a player; you're part of a community with a voice. The idea of earning crypto while playing games is exciting, but what makes OGC special is its focus on community involvement. Your feedback can directly influence the development of the game, which is a big deal. I've also heard that the OGC token is available for pre-market trading on Bitget. While I'm still getting to know the platform and its features, it's definitely something to keep an eye on. Has anyone else tried OGC? What has your experience been like? I'd love to hear your thoughts and any tips you might have.
