All of my experiences with RSs have been the same.
The option is on the corporate books for a year or so.
One day, BAM, they execute the R/S and the stock price drops the next day on fear selling.
Sometimes the price comes back. Often it stays down for a long time.
This is my first experience where the RS is announced but the transition doesn't take immediate place, which seems IMO to allow a period of acceptance and evaluation. The SP hasn't really moved very much from last Thursday afternoon, so it MIGHT be that this RS is smoother and less invasive than the others.
Maybe when the actual 5-to-1 shows up on my account, the impact on the price will be minimal ?? Nice way to handle it but I doubt they planned it this way.
