RE:RE:Manufacturing index ;
I rarely weigh in on this board, but come on. Have you ever taken part in a spin-off? This is all normal. If you want to buy and sell in the open market of either TUD or GSTM you may. However any shares that were part of the spinoff will be locked up for a few days. After that it's entirely dependent on your brokerage as to how quickly the shares clear compared to others. You aren't being cheated, nobody has an advantage one way or another. Perhaps brokers with special trading privileges will be able to trade a day or few hours before you, but welcome to how stock trading works. You would've never started trading at all unless you had accepted that aspect.
