The apparent earnings/share goes up 10x after the reverse split. I know it's the same amount of money, but earnings is what counts (and share price and being listed) when it comes to institutional investors buying in. I've made my most money in stocks with low share counts. Doesn't take as much for them to move and for people who get bored holding stocks that move in tenths of a penny the reverse is a good thing.
