Madly, Well thought out post! A reverse split for EXGP would be inconceivable with only 1.6 million shares outstanding and about 37% closely held. EXGP may not split at 10 but I've seen stock splits in the 15 to 20 stock price range on the order of 3 for 2, 4 for 3 or even 5 for 4. Also, as we saw with EGRP today and with INKT and AMZN recently, a split announcement has been a bullish sign for Internet stocks. Regards. Elliot

I have never heard the term "forward split", it's not in the Barrons Dictionary of Finance and Investment Terms. What you have described is a stock split. Period. And like I said before, it is almost unheard of for a stock barely trading out of the single digits to split. You also need to review the SEC filings to see just how many shares have been authorized. Additionally, since a split just increases the number of shares, it does NOTHING to increase liquidity. Illiquidity is a result of low trading volume, which of course stems from demand. It doesn't matter whether you have a 1 Million share float or a 10 Million share float, if the average daily volume is only ~10K, you ,by definition, have an illiquid stock. At any rate, I have it on the watch list and will continue to monitor the volume. Regards, bp
