The weakness in Plus 500’s (PLUS) share price in the last couple of days which has seen it fall a pound from 666p is probably explained by the excellent Times of Israel investigative piece on binary options which appeared on Thursday.

I have been assured by the company that PLUS do not offer binary options and hence are not affected by the contents of the newspaper article.Perhaps the writer should talk to the company as well to get the facts.

Are you really paid by shareprofits to talk up your short?
How about a mention of the ex div on Friday.
Closing sp was 577p.
Tom, is this really a researched article? He probably knocked this one out between starters.
