I have thought about that....and my CPA will have til next year to figure out or advise what our basis is on the few shares of AQB we received, lol...a negligible effect on 2017 return or estimated taxes.
And I will collect and send her your numerous and corrected posts to help.
free shares of AQB in the partial spin-off may be inclined to sell
For that or other reasons it is looking like a wild ride so far, and mostly down. No idea how low it goes obviously, but can see sub-$10 based on the history of ABTU.L
