So I had a screenshot to make this easier but I didn't know you couldn't post images here. I'll try to explain the situation as best as I can.
I live in Ireland and wanted to properly own stocks so I joined degiro. I've just been keeping my very small investing so far to Irish stocks to avoid charges for having stocks on foreign exchanges. One of the companies I bought some shares in was a small company called VR education holdings, the shares were about 0.13 cents and I bought 310. last month I got an email from degiro saying this:
“We are writing in regards to one position you hold, VR Education Holdings PLC (IE00BG0HDR01), that has been suspended for trading on IRL.
For this matter, DEGIRO can facilitate the transfer of your holding from IRL to LSE, where the products are still trading, at a fee of 25 EUR per position.
The internal deadline to submit your request is set for the 2nd of June, 2023 at 10:30 IST (Irish Standard Time).
If the transfer is possible, the position will be moved to LSE. Be aware that this conversion can take up to 3 weeks. “
So I paid the fee and it has now been changed to LSE. the thing is it's currently trading at £3.90 and one part of the degiro screen says my holding is now worth about £1200 pounds sterling but it's only showing in my portfolio as being worth the 14 euro it was before. if I put up a sell order it also says it's only worth 14 but it's unclear if that's pounds or euros. like I said I wanted to post a screenshot for clarity.
So my question is have I accidentally arbitraged myself into a nice profit or are my shares still only worth 14 euro for some reason?
Here is a link to the image, I don't know if it's allowed.
Thanks in advance for any help.
