Excellent post. In retrospect, I believe that is why they were trying for the RS to clean things up to take this much higher and quite frankly with a better caliber of investors.
This is a gift since we can get in much cheaper than it would have been with a split. My two cents.
Those who were smart enough to load the cheap shares and hold realize that. Simply put take the gift shares.
Feel better after reading this great post. I started the day with 600K and was happy to finally join the milly club early this morning - then the unexpected further drop happened. Added 200K cheapies later in the day so I doubled my starting position. Now in the red, but still feeling very good about this one.
