Bobbins2, So you have never bought a lottery ticket? Can we take it from that though that you have at least dated a lingerie model? Lucky sod!

So, has any date been announced yet for this split?

How come all the chat on this share seems to have dried up? Nobody interested now that it has come off the boil by about 25%?

Bobbins 2, yours sounds like a good plan to me! Maybe you could get the complete back catalogue of "neighbours" too?

Excuse my ignorance, but is this share split actually, definitely going ahead? Or are people just speculating? I thought these things were always kept under covers until done. And will those of us with shares in GSK automatically receive shares in the new set up?

Is POLY trading today? If so, where are you seeing prices?

I saw some talk on here about dividends etc. Does anybody know when the next ex. divi date is?

Also, does anybody else agree that at £11.00 this will find support? Or does it all depend on when (not if, but when) Putin decides to invade?

Thanks PRN 19!

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the significance of 7 December, apart from it being a date which will live for ever in infamy for our American cousins.

Hexam, as a novice investor I really do appreciate and enjoy your insightful comments, even if they lose me on occasions, but I really would appreciate your comments on my earlier post of a few minutes ago. I still have a couple of days in which to take up my option and am sorely tempted to do so. We shall see!

1st question. Is anybody seriously not thinking of taking up their RI option, and if so, why? My language would indicate that I am basically thinking of getting in, but see the following.

2. Wasn't there an earlier RI (in Jan. 2021?) and at a higher price than what they are currently trading at on the open market? Didn't IAG & EZJ also do the same, and again at a higher price than what they are now achieving?

3 Am I right in thinking that new shares acquired under the RI can not be sold until 02/11? And (and this sounds really crazy), might that not be at the same price as on the open4 market? Surely not?

4. If it is true (Hexam) that “the reduction in value of these (existing) shares due to the RI (only) offsets the value of the discount available on the new shares”, and that "if you do choose to invest in buying further shares (or do not).... then in both cases you haven't lost or gained anything", then why bother incurring dealing costs? Is this not equivalent to just throwing more money into the pot just to stay where you are?

As always, there are more questions than answers, but if anybody has any answers or even just thoughts on these questions, I would be glad top read them. Thanks for reading.

Anybody any ideas what caused yeterday's sudden downturn at about 3 pm?

Did I say 5? I meant 12!

But can somebody, anybody, tell me the point of the previous five posts?

This is torture! I have seen tortoises move faster!

Good morning all.

So, if (and I do mean if) this is the opposite of issuing new shares, i.e, diluting the value of existing shares, does this mean existing shares increase in value? Any help in understanding the consequences of this would be appreciated as, as you can see, I haven't got a clue what it means.

Thanks! Puts my mind somewhat at ease.

Can anybody explain, politely and sensibly, what all these damned forms 8.3 & 8.5 are, what they really mean?

Not just clever, witty and insightful, but well written too with (almost) no grammatical errors! Makes it an absolute pleasure to read!

That's some ex mrs. you have! I know the feeling!
