"You can not put the Tils sp now down to the demerger, only due to market conditions."
I don't think people *are* putting it down to the demerger per se. It's the shoddy way everything seems to have been managed. I only ever had a small amount in, but that's it today, I've cut my losses.
What is the rational for this? I believe HL allow one to trade NASDAQ shares.
@milnrowmug sorry didn't see your message earlier. The lifetime limit rules can get a bit complicated but essentially it affects how much tax you pay on the amount above the limit. It's something like 55%. If the fund happens to grow above the limit it's not really a problem but it is not worth putting more of your own money in once it looks likely to hit it, unless you need to put in a minimum amount to get an employer contribution. I guess I am just thinking of it as a target for a decent fund that should allow me to retire reasonably comfortably.
My investment is quite cautious compared with a lot of people here - a few % of my SIPP and ISA portfolios. My wife also has a bit in her ISA. However, if we see anything like the numbers hoped for, we'd have enough to fund an early retirement for my wife without needing to tighten our belts at all, and my SIPP would be over the lifetime limit. It's not going to make us rich, but we wouldn't really have any more worries about retiring.
@bobsson "I just cannot see how NASDAQ shares can be held in an ISA"
Why? The ISA rules do not prevent this; the only issue is whether your broker supports it. HL, for example, allow you to hold NASDAQ shares in an ISA.
There is no problem in principle with holding Nasdaq shares in an ISA. It's more a case of whether the broker supports it. No problem with HL for example.
The explanations regarding tax make perfect sense to me and I have no worries in that respect.
One thing I wondered though was how this might relate to insider dealing rules and whether they apply as usual to this sort of scenario with share options and tax and so on. In other words, do the sales imply that there is unlikely to be any significant news coming up for some time?
"Climate lockdown"? That sounds mental. Climate can't be fixed with lockdowns. It needs long term sustained changes to prevent further damage, and mitigations to deal with the changes that are now locked in. Greater focus on public transport must be a part of the long term changes.
HL don't allow OTC based on what someone posted here the other day.
Meanwhile I have seen some people here and on Twitter in the last day who still seem to think it will be listed on NASDAQ. Is there any definitive information anywhere about what is going on?
What happens if you don't transfer them out? Is it possible just to hold them in the HL account until such a time as you do decide to transfer them or something else happens (e.g. they move to NASDAQ)?
antofelli, regarding that Tweet, the reason for those statistics is that a large proportion of the susceptible population has been vaccinated. Consider the limit case where we have 100% vaccination. We know that vaccination is not 100% effective so there would be some who, if they were infected, would die. In that case 100% of deaths will be of vaccinated people. Does that say that the vaccine doesn't work? Of course it doesn't!
Yes, but the value of the Accustem shares will effectively be a return on one's initial investment in TILS, so it does make some sense to consider the combined value.
Why do people insist on starting new threads that reference some post that has to be sought out in another thread in order to understand the context? Why not just add to the existing thread?
Anyway, having sought it out in this case, I'm still none the wiser.
