"One that did do well after a reverse split was GNID (formerly RXSF) Share pricewent up to $10+ and I made a tidy $13k profit"
Did that corporation have actual products and actual revenue? (because actual products and actual revenue is usually the only way a reverse split might be a good thing)
If not, what did the company do to hype the company to create a run on its stock? (because without a run on the corporation's stock, the PPS is not going up and strangely, immediately issuing a PR announcing yet more dilution is not the right kind of hype)
