I think the improving fundamentals will help MAPS look desirable. The split will improve the float and show a higher average daily volume. In MAPS case, I think that will help. The shares may be too thin for some people's comfort. Does she have any MAPS in her IRA now? If not, you know the company, and can judge for yourself the quality. I agree with Alan, the story is unfolding now. I posted earlier the 34% of my wife's IRA is in MAPS - and I mentioned balancing her portfolio out. Right now, she says I can sell some at $50. We'll see. Happily Long MAPS, Duke
