I agree we should not rely on the CUSIP change to shoot this up to .01, however i disagree on "People screaming "I'm long" but all they talk about is the CUSIP change. You can't be a true long if that's your only focus imo" Yea, if that's your ONLY focus, you are not a long. But I am looking forward to the CUSIP change because it is the beginning for this stock! THAT is why I personally bring it up. If you aren't looking forward to that you're just strange.
Once again, I'm not disagreeing with your post, you are right. There ARE people that are looking for the CUSIP change and ONLY the CUSIP change because they think it will make them rich. They are probably going to bail right after the CUSIP change.
