Credit Suisse X-Links Crude Oil Shares Covered Call ETN (USOI)

Then you don't understand reverse splits. As soon as it splits, people will sell at that new, high price and the sp will tank. I've been dealing with them since 2008, and I've never seen one where the shareholders made out.
A reverse split happens when the company mismanages itself and lets the OS get out of proper proportion. There are two ways to fix that - buy back shares or reverse split.
My course of action is to sell all, wait until the smoke clears, skip one dividend and see if it's worth buying back in. I doubt that it will be worth it.
