FG, your take on reverse splits actually being positive are quite interesting. I must admit I only know what I've heard and most of it hasn't been good. So much depends on market conditions and timing the trade... Micros' have been nice lately. Fred

Stroke, MDIH, I don't advocate a reverse split for the sake of it ... but, in the case of MDIH, which is a sound and profitable Company with little competition, there should be no need to be worried about a reverse split if no other solution is available. If, at the same time they hire a very capable PR/IR firm, the shares could actually soar towards a level more in line with their earnings, say the $3.00 to $5.00 range where , IMO, they belong.

On the contrary, a reverse split will REDUCE the number shares in the o/s and float. If it's 5 for 1 at a price of 1 dollar, your 1000 shares will turn into 200 shares, each valued at 5 dollars. Hope I don't have this mixed up, but it's the way I've always seen it. Reverse splits are usually but not always, bad. "but not always." Examples abound, but naturally I can't think of any to add except IMAL. MDIH is, from what I know, a good stock. If they do the reverse split and no disaster follows (which I don't expect), then the halting stigma of reverse splits is over and there shouldn't be anything from moving us north on the merits, including earnings, of the company.
