RE:RE:SVBL Announces Distribution Of Arras Minerals to SVBL sharehI checked my Schwab and my TDA accounts, both of them still show my SVBL shares. In the short-term, yes you would've been better off selling prior to the distribution date. That being said, long term, considering where the metals prices are heading, more or less any investment in the junior sphere (including SVBL) will end up with positive gains.
Very odd why your shares wouldn't be available. Considering we have no idea when in the future the Arras shares will be made available for trading, nothing should've happened to your SVBL shares in the meantime. Only thing that should change with your SVBL shares would be a basis adjustment after the receipt of the Arras shares.
If you have a Canadian brokerage, the above may not apply to you however.
