RE: THEY DID WHAT THEY HAD TO DO TO SURVIVE THE FI Typically stock consolidation is bad news not because it's better to own 2/10 than 1/5 (yes, that's the same amount of pie) but because it is usually done by companies that are in trouble (falling stock price) to make things look more even-keeled to those not paying close attention. Long term effect is zero although there is usually a short term dip because of people who worry that ALL reverse splits signal a dying company trying to boost its per-share value. In other words, in our case where things have been relatively bottomed out for some time and it's simply to reduce manipulation, I don't think it would be a terrible idea although it would be better to see it after some upward movement.
Realistically, Glafan, we're not going to see any share buybacks anytime soon nor would we want to. They have some other properties that should be taking in cash flow for development purposes once Maracas is generating it.
