agree that with the inet revolution in japan, the average investor will multiply quickly and they too will become much more active...if 9984 lists on the new nasdaq then it might actually split to accomodate the avergae investor...but will this ultimately benefit us, we will have to see....cause when 9984 trades at 100000Y, then the limit is so high that we might ramp up by 20,000-30,000Y per night like softbank junior and if we split, perhaps we might rise less aggressively(although we would have more shares)...just a thought.

Liquidity has always been a problem in Japan, and IMO a stock split would do much more for 9984's shareholder value than the ADR issue that is often discussed. My concern is that these Japanese issues are institutional plays. Actually I bought into Daiwa 0101 (information communication revolution fund) giving me access to Japanese IPOs etc. 0101 is not available to foreigners (I bought through a Japanese family member). Edwin, is this also 'keeping out the riff raff'??
