I am a premium client and was not contacted. I am very angry about this and the false market that was created - i phoned last week to ask why my stocks were close only but was told completely incorrect information. These are equities - i absolutely do not get forced closure under the spread bet wrapper with a few days notice and differential disclosure to different clients, fair enough increasing margins. There is no doubt Ig moved these markets in the last few days as a result. A reputable company would have allowed customers 6 months to close. Maintaining dealing account dealing in these stocks suggests they should have maintained spread betting for the tax benefits at 100% margin.
