i am agreeing with you. i was saying if they do this right they'll wait to do any deal, such as a major merger or acquisition, and combine any RS with that positive development, so it has no negative effect on the chart. the transaction might happen in late summer or fall, for example.
this is a common tactic when companies uplist from the otc to big boards. they combine that bullish milestone with a split, and the market shrugs it off.
