We've lost the leverage we had. Say you buy 40000 shares at .001. That's $40.00. Say it goes to .008, that's $320.00 a 700. per cent increase. Entirely possible down here in sub penny land. After the split your 40 shares are worth $1.00 The stock price has to go to $8.00 to gain 700 percent. Not so likely to happen, not for a long time.
