RE: Calidus shares9 Jan 2020 13:42
I am declaring myself 'out' before I go any further. I assessed my miniscule holding before the split (105k shares in old KRS) and determined the transfer of calidus shares would be worthless after all the advertised costs etc. I sold for an £8 profit (lol - a first!)
This debacle (that is what this has turned into) is an utter disgrace! I have no doubt that DR and RL thought that this was a great move for shareholders of KRS but the way this has been handled has been simply staggering in its' incompetence.
I don't know who is at fault at the end of the day but SOMEONE needs to step up and take responsibility. DR has got his gold project separated from KRS now, so apart from his residual holding in KRS shares (which he isn't going to sell any time soon I'm guessing) and therefore will happily watch this sort itself out over time.....
It really does make you wonder WTF is going on. Isn't this the sort of thing the FSA should be all over? Seriously, if Carlsberg made beer like KRS do company capital splits, it would taste like **** - oh, hang on, it already does!
The fact that I could now buy nearly 3 times as many shares with the same cash after I sold totally removes the 'benefit' of the Calidus shares IMO. For a miriad of reasons (not least a dick of a son who wrote off his/my! car after 3 months of driving), I can't now take advantage of these 'fire sale' prices.
RL has some questions to answer - after all the talk in advance of the split, where is any news??? Just because it has been raining a bit for 3 months, has Russell achieved absolutely nothing noteworthy???
I remain positive for now on the prospects here but I have to say (and I appreciate I am an ex holder) the credibility that I once took as read, is looking somewhat shaky.
GL all and a belated HNY
