RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Capex

RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Capex:-) It's not confusing. 
I'm just pointing out that we're talking about different operations here. 
A split or reverse split is a VERY different thing than a dividend cut or raise. 

I don't see why these things need to be coupled at all.
These moves by a company to try to "hide" a dividend cut or raise by doing some sort of split, at the same time, would not fool anyone and no company would be stupid enough to think it would.

i.e.: If they announced a reverse split, for example, and kept the div/share the same, the company would ALSO have to announce a 50% div reduction.  This concept is NOT included with the reverse split operation and is something else entirely. 

So, since you asked, this is just my opinion of course but I think LIQ should just stay the course right now.

If they: 

1. Do a 2-1 split, the share price would become dangerously low.
- You mormally do this when the share price is so high that some investors are not willing to buy shares.  i.e.: Some investors get afraid when the share price seems too high.

2. Do a reverse split, this is almost always taken as bad news by the market and I'm sure would do more harm than good. 

3. Do a div cut/raise, now this is something the board really has to consider objectively for the overall good of the company. 
A cut is almost NEVER a good thing for the share price, but is just something a responsible board will do if required for the overall health of the company. 
A raise is a good way to drive up a share price but this needs to be done at a logical time, based on cashflow and the payout ratio.

BTW: I do like reading/replying to posts but may I suggest using the enter key to space things out a bit?
It would make your posts a lot easier to read.
