DWB: I've read all that and, as it goes once in a while, doesn't seem to get through my thick skull. The company states the par value remains the same since they are paying for the shares and providing a 1:1 share dividend to each shareholder. Is the premise that market forces then adjust the price to reflect a doubling of outstanding shares? I guess it's the issue of the company maintaining the original par value I'm not understanding. Bottom line for me is I've been a long term holder of ERCIY and continue to be happy with the fundamentals. Whether it acts like a split or something better is okay be me. vpelt
