Joseph,
It sure takes guts to invest in IOMG at 45, like I did yesterday. My position is now relatively big. I had no idea they would declare a 3 for 1 stock split today. I think this was a mistake on the part of the management. They should have let the hype push the stock to whereever until earnings come. A sell-off before or on that date is best prevented by declaring a split! This is how you do it!
Also, I think 3-1 is a large stock split for a company that traded at 2 7/8 las year this time! No need for fireworks on this front, but it is too late now. CUBE did much better, declaring 2-1 split. Anyway, I don't imagine they want the new number of shares to trade in the teens, so the message sounds to me like: "We know IOMG will trade in the 60's in Jan., so a 3-1 split will bring us above 20." I believe IOMG will be above 62 come New Year. This is some major action here and I am not missing a bit.
Looking sadly at my portfolio today, IOMG is the one of two stock that inched up. Maybe I will consider getting out of something, to stick with IOMG longer. The remains of my NSCP and DNA hype holdings are most likely candidates for the ax.
As for our favorite CATS, volume picked up today, but it did not give up much, which I am glad to see. Still, my advice is to wait until we breaks through 8, and then buy more, or trade or whatever you do! |
