It all comes down to..
trusting the new management.. Will they use the funds wisely for ALL shareholders or will they use the funds to fill their OWN pockets some more.. Fortunately the big guys that will be directors of the new company have a very good track record, lets hope history repeats itself and they will not squander our funds now that CRK is doing so well...
The roll back 5-1 is also designed to attract bigger (hedge) funds that do not even look at or are not allowed to look at investing in anything under $1... The new board has a very large rolodex with names they can contact, a lot of goodwill.. This uncertainty and risk could provide large returns or sad retail faces, lets see if the new company directors will live up to their reputation.
