Dear Tom, I would like to see contribution from ordinary investors, who are also have CFD accounts, posting once a month, describing why bought and why they sold. If there are five subscribers contributing on their portfolio each month, you would enrich shareprophets.

Tom, OPAY has said that its main customer, accounting for about a quarter of turnover, is in the Far East. I’ve assumed, from analysisng OPAY’s business and results, that this customer is one of the casino companies in Macao and SE Asia, perhaps Sands or Genting. The Macao casino business is now being hit hard by the Chinese government’s moves to discourage mainland people going to Macao to gamble. That may be an area of concern for OPAY in 2015, imo.
