The trading allocation is fine in share form or cash form.
It would be nice if the trading allocation was in share form when the big SP increase happens. To have trading shares is to accept the possibility that allocation might be in cash form and miss out of the big SP increase when it happens. That is what the core position is all about.
I don't really care what the share price is when thinking about the trading shares. What I care about is the percentage increase I can get compared to the price at which I bought the trading shares. $4 to to $4.20 is 5%. 18.50 to $19.42 is still 5%.
