If you take these following news releases literally those who bought shares today would not be entitled to dividend so that would make a split of current share price illogical as it would cause investors who bought shares today to have a temporary lose, approx. 75% of there investment come Tuesday as well as those who purchased around the $3 level Wednesday & Thursday would be at a loss of over 50%! Notice this 2/11 news does not mention anything about a split nor does the 2/10 news below it and both releases state "The dividend is effective as of the close of business on Thursday, Feb. 11." Also SOWK has stated to many of us that some of the news wires replaced "dividend" with the word split. Mr. Cornwell has informed the nine brokerages who are market makers for SOWK of this so it hopefully will be all ironed out come Tuesday.
