If at the time of the hard fork november 15 you will in bitcoins, then be sure to keep them on exchanges, otherwise you will not be able to make deposits for sale, both sides do not want to put protection from repeated transactions
I am sure there will be a big mess with most of the community is split to gain more power and control with the upcoming fork,i do not have any idea how things will end up,as we know the price of bitcoin is rising and i am not sure how things will end up after the fork,it will take some time for everything to settle after the fork i guess.
