most likely it is a good decison to hold until sept. 1st. should double the day the split takes place. this is my experience from other 5 to 1 forward splits. this assumes there is no postponements and you can get your shares right away. some probably won't. after the split i am out of here. but, there could be a big PR before the split and if so i wlll sell into that rally and if it comes back down, buy again and wait for the split.
