Earlier today I was going to say that they must have 2 separate pots because otherwise you could sell TILS and go buy ADRs to get more Accustem which would mean the number of Accustem would keep growing. The closure of the register on the 28th is the piece I didn't compute - so currently they are operating as 2 different shares so will converge again once the register re-opens next week! Thanks :)
RE: PCR testing to go to 500,000 a DAY - Boris Johnson4 Nov 2020 14:32
My gut tells me that Boris was referring to 500K per day tests in total, and slipped "PCR" by mistake - absolutely amazing if I'm wrong though and that's their intention!
This is how I think of it when I see the red on my account:
My average buy price: 148.43 Current live price: 113.75 Difference: -34.68
Do I think that Accustem will be worth more than 34.68p when it's listed? Yes. Therefore I am at least break even, with so much good news to come. (spoiler alert the answer will still be yes if this drifts to £1)
Sounds like people get tetchy with their finger above the sell button any time that we don't zoom up for a couple of days - a bit of a steady drift downwards is better than constant volatile up and down, it allows us to all catch our breath before the next re-rate on news.
Toine I think as that's the record date, they still need to be holding them on the 6th in order to qualify so they can't sell - but ex entitlement should have been the same. I'd be careful with use of the word "clear" when describing anything related to this demerger as it's been as clear as mud.
Could it be confusion over there (as there was here) about the 6th November date, could they potentially still be buying thinking they're getting Accustem? We will know either way by Monday I guess...
