Sorry Last line should be. If I was NSS I would be buying like heck to cover pre split than post split because the shares PRE split are worth less than post split
I really don't think it makes a difference. Lets say there are 1Billion naked shares, there would be 10m after the R/S. 10M into 2m is the same as 1B into 200m. But i really believe they would have to cover before the R/S anyway, if there is a R/S.
