Once a long time ago I made a killing on a reverse stock split, I owned a stock KLOC was the symbol, I owned like 25,000 shares at around $0.25, and had another 10,000 shares with a broker friend who put me into the stock in the first place, for many months I was thousands of dollars in the red on the trade, then they did a five for one reverse split and it was trading at over $1.25, and I had about a little over 6,000 shares at that point, the stock had big news over the next few months and ran to $15.00 a share and I sold it for a $35.000 profit.
