25% is held by retail traders. I suspect a tiny portion of those participate in forums such as these. You think that 30% is driven by retail investors responding to 'Going to the moon'? Please.

The Motley Fool is not worth the paper it is written on. I worry for the "investors' that are influenced by its articles.

Capehake - I quite agree. As I have said countless times, our comments on here have no impact on the market whatsoever.

Lol - discrediting the chances of a completely unprecedented event = deramper.

Everything but a squeeze.

It is theoretically possible but not practically possible for numerous reasons covered in extensive detail in previous discussions.

No.

This has been covered in the last week in previous posts.

Ah man. A breath of fresh air (reality). Love to know I am in bed with some objective commentators!

They won’t be separate. Unless regal is spun off. Just Cineworld shares available at a different shop

^ this. Thank you Wellington

No. I already said there are no changes to capital structure. No increase in number of shares. Just increased availability

There is no solution because you are not changing the capital structure at all.

They are just seeking to make their shares available in the US. There’s really no more to it than that. No dilution.

They are accessing capital in the US ie US traders will be able to buy/sell Cineworld shares.

Just ignore it mate - it has as much credibility as Rusclegg87.

Yes - it is subtle. Most countries are looking at this at the moment in connection with political climate change agendas.

To elaborate on adverse movements from lending stock - this usually is usually not as significant as is often made out on the big screen. Loading up on the puts can be much more powerful, but again not usually market moving as is often suggested on here. All the GME/AMC action last year was such big news because it was completely unprecedented. Not a daily occurrence and certainly not the result of anyones trading actions/comments on here.

A US listing would certainly add volume to daily trading. US traders tend to lend more weight to valuations as well.

The impact will only be that of retail traders, as RS implied, as most institutional firms will be able to access Cineworld shares. It is worth noting, however, that opening up shares to trading in the US exposes Cineworld to bearish traders as well. Those that are lending stock or loading up on puts can have an adverse effect on the share price.

US traders are also less fussed with debt. Unlike the UK, the US effectively borrowed their way out of the 2008 crisis (and successfully so).

You are not diluting the share. Merely listing your shares on another exchange so that they can be accessed locally. Do not confuse listing on another exchange with demerging or spinning off the a part of the business. I previously worked at a large company that had four listings globally. It is just a mechanism to raise capital in different locations, particularly useful if you have a presence in those markets (as Cineworld does). This was does through ADRs.

It should largely be a positive move. US traders have all the enthusiasm on this board and often a lot more resource to back it up. We may find a number of BCs join the share register (hopefully more quietly). While it should be positive, people here should exercise caution. It will not solve all problems or results in billions of dollars raised.

@HNS_77 - strong post. Managing expectations is all part of the process and leads to better decisions (investment and otherwise).

Mate I am invested (long) in Cineworld. The world isn't split into ridiculously optimistic CW investors and "shorters".

Word games do not make you richer or smarter than me. Sorry.*

I was pointing out that underlying movement does not necessarily = investment return. But you knew that already right, being richer and smarter. You quite literally said the maximum return you can achieve is 100%

"Once one understands the most you can make from a short is 100% then it actually seems really risky for what it is."

Yup - 2 + 2 = 4 right

The news is encouraging but not groundbreaking. 5-10% is optimistic to the point of foolishness. Much of the information is likely baked into expectations already.
