A 3 for 1 split may slow down the momentum in this stock. The float is increasing way
too fast for the good of the longs and I know for fact that many many shorts capitulated
the last 2 days.


Techie,

I agree with you on both accounts.

Glenn

The purpose of the 3 for 1 split:

To enable all the small retail guys to pay $50 per shares(after split), so the big guys may sell their shares for $50 pre-split

Most of the institutions(elephants) have $20 to $30 cost base, that's about $10 after the 3 for 1 split.
