I doubt if the length of time this is taking will affect the SP. I can't see any connection there.

None of the new holders will be selling at 0.5 as they'll be making a loss. They may be selling at 0.6 to make half a pip. Maybe many will go in the queue to sell at 0.7 and make a half-decent profit. Really when you've got such a large spacing between 0.5, 0.6 and 0.7 and no half spacings it's probably quite difficult to make any money on these placements. We may see 0.5:0.6 for a while but I think there are plenty of people here like myself who are keen to buy at 0.6 that we would soon see it move back to 0.6-0.7.
