RE: reverse split This issue has been studied and the findings indicate that "all other things equal" the stock price moves up 3 percent after the announcement of a reverse split and decrease 1 percent after it takes place. Nothing occurs in a reverse split to cause stock price to fall. If you have seen company share prices fall significantly after a reverse split there is something else causing it other than the reverse split, which typically makes a broader market for the shares and should stimulate positive price movement.
In the case of Excellon as well as all the other miners, they have been impacted significantly by the Central Banks and their minions shorting gold and silver as part of their monetary policies. Experts expect this to subside soon and when that occurs we should see some recovery in our share price, rather than a halving so don't expect to buy back in at half the price....we are already trading at 52 week lows...just sayin.
