Thanks. Lots of people panic needlessly when they see a reverse split.

The last 3 I have traded through as described worked out just fine.

In the worst case, I just ignore the small quantities of more expensive pre-r/s inherited shares until things settle down or they go into profit and concentrate on trading from the bottom up - often on a large spread - getting the banked net profit up (including deliberate losses deducted and tax savings added). You can always use the more expensive ones for long term losses in future years.
