From post 253, A stockholders claim doubles the day of the Forward Split because the 24million held restricted inside does not receive the dividend. In this case FWIW 30 million at .03 of which float is only 6 million total value = 900k Float holders claim = 180,000 3:1 split for floatholders 42 million at .0214 of which float is now 18 million total value = 900k Float holders claim = 385,714 So you'll have 3x as many shares that should have a value of about 2/3 original pps for an overall gain of (3*.0214=.0642-.03) .0342
