DM:>>So "Split mania" is not necessarily in conflict with academic theory. In fact, the theory provides some explanation.<<

I agree!

>>Obviously, one way for management and directors to hype a weak stock is to announce a split, falsely implying that they have bullish inside information.<<

I agree again! This was my point in my post. If the split does not have some fundamentals behind it [as it would probably be the case for the short in question], the split should go unnoticed. My point was that because of the reasons you explained it may go up!
