Thanks a lot Big Dog. Appreciate it. I forgot to mention that in terms of the share outstanding and float, GLBL has 90.7m shares outstanding and 64.4m float; while FGI has only 23.3m outstanding and 11.7m float. So this might be another reason: because of the low float of FGI, a lot of big institutional funds will not buy it much. They instead may buy GLBL simply because the high number of float. This gives one more reason for FGI to split more, and running up the float. just IMO.
