PS- If ATHM would annouce that shareholders will get some ExciteChello it would be a different story. ATHM could explode ala COMS/PALM.

Try this one on for size:
1) Armstrong knows he has to have share value appreciation in a big way before January.

2) So far nothing has worked.

3) You can not split a $20 stock.

4) So you say: "Good news! We are going to start a new company that will be the biggest provider of cable internet in the world. It is going to do bla, bla, bla... ATHM shareholders are the lucky ones. They will be given shares in this new company!"

5) Hopefully you can drive share price up this way - just like you are suggesting. The danger is that ATHM share price will collapse when distribution occurs but maybe things will be so high then that it will stay above $50/share.

6) At a much later date you can go into a smoke filled room and have T buy out Malone or vice versa. Even more devious, you can arrange it so that on the day the stocks are given to shareholders, ATHM buys majority stake in the new company.<g>
