Aptose Biosciences Inc (APTO)

[Zeppo]

Historically, a reverse split is the beginning of the death spiral if the company cannot improve its lot in the marketplace. Advanced testing, more collaboration with partners, a merger, and/or eventual commercialization will help stabilize Aptose's position and stock price. . Should the company continue to just spin its wheels, however, the post-split higher price will not hold up, and the stock eventually will head back to that $1.00 level. "Light At The End Of The Tunnel" is what post-split shareholders need to see.
