And that is exactly why we need the reverse split. 4500 of us small investors -- if you believe in the law of supply and demand, if the share price is reverse-split to above 5, mutual funds can buy stock. The will be investing several hundred thousand dollars at a time -- they have the cash to buy 20000 five-dollar shares in a trade. If they want stock, they have to buy from someone. They will have to pay up to get someone to sell it so the stock price will go up. R/S is good for current shareholders. Unlike most reverse splits, this is not a desperate attempt to keep a Nasdaq listing -- it's a way to get the financial house in order to GET the initial listing.
