RE: ADS vs full Nasdaq listing18 Nov 2021 17:09
Mal,
It appears to me you're located in the UK.
If that's the case, why on earth would you buy the ADR (ADS) units on the NASDAQ? There is a fee of $0.02 per share charged by Citi, and there's also currency issues.
It's very easy for me to buy these in the USA. Just like any thinly traded stock. I use limit orders and exercise a bit of patience. I do pay very close attention to the price in the UK when buying here. I'd bet not many others do this, thus the wild gyrations after it closes in the UK. For some reason I tend to believe this issue actually trades in the UK. Most American's are either too arrogant or too ignorant to try to figure this out. Then again, maybe I am letting the tail wag the dog, because our markets do tend to lead the world around by its nose. Like it or not, I was merely being totally honest by that last sentence.
Over the 12 or so months leading up to the ADS offering, it actually became easier for me to buy shares on the AIM, as I talked about here at that time. It's still more cumbersome because of FOREX. When buying in the UK, I didn't want to add another layer of risk due to currency risk, so I'd buy GBP to cover the cost of buying my stock, but, while reducing currency risk, that adds a layer of pain at tax reporting time. It's a pain to keep track of even though it's not much Money (the profit or loss on the FOREX trade has to be reported).
As far as analysts coverage, they're taking notice. If memory serves, we've four or so covering us from the States right now. Don't hold me to that; I'll get back to you about this one when I actually know what the eff I am talking about when it comes to who's covering us and where they're located.
BTW: The 52 week low in the USA is $16.16. So far today's low is $16.30.
If we drop into the 15s on no news I am afraid I won't be able to resist a nibble.
