First of all, you have to hold through Monday 11/2/09 (the Ex Date) to get the split, and you have until the end of the day Friday 10/30/09 to buy those shares.
Second: You are asking a fox (valuemanager, a self admitted short seller of this stock) why he would eat chickens.
Third: Did you notice all the pumping by posters on Monday 10/26/09 telling you falsely, that 10/26/09 was the last day you could buy, and get your split shares? Those were likely the same people who were shorting the heck out of this stock yesterday, knowing they had added to the confusion among inexperienced investors, that would cause a slowdown in buying, and many would sell.
I firmly believe you will see the same kind of buying action, and message board activity on Friday (the true last day to get the split) as you saw on Monday. it may even be more intense, since the experienced investors will be buying up this stock at these lower prices.
I also believe there was allot of short covering today (buy volume was 128,000 shares. sell volume was only 94,300), and there most likely will be more tomorrow.
JMHO.
Good luck,
