RE:RE:RE:RE:The possible reverse splitIf the Family would control the majority of the common shares, the company would not need a revese split as the majority of shares would be held by insiders.
Nothing would really change but they would have do infuse a whole pile of cash to attain that control unless the company buys them out or any portion there of.
In that case. the company could better use the money to do a share buy back which for now is undoable to make any difference.

This could muster more interest in the shares since later down the road if a family mermber wanted out , the market could possibly buy those shares and control more of the company .. I'm thinking the dreamers of the family might be in the process of being shown the door quietly with the most amount of money to get out ... It's obvious that the family has a better view on the profitability of the business and the direction it should take going forward , no more unattainable projects or govt money for jobs fiascos... could you imagine the joy for shareholders being able to vote a certain someone off the board??? .. .. lol..GLTA

I've warmed up to it. Often a r/s is a sign of trouble, as in trying to maintain a listing for a company going downhill. Bomber is going uphill, they just have too many shares leftover from their days as a failed conglomerate. Sounds like they have their pulse on what the tutes want, so, give it to them now instead of organically much later, then hit 'em hard with the successful turn around story to get a lot more of em to buy in. It's time.

Many were surprised by the RS anouncement. My first thought was: why now?
Looking at recent institutional ownership sitting in the low teens (12.2%) it is easy to conclude some still see a lot of risks ahead. However, if the next few quarters continue at the pace we've seen along with continued orders, I believe investor interest will continue to rise along with price.
In the near to medium term, I suggest that raising institutional ownership is a required element to raise share price. Right now the pros are just playing ping pong with the shares while shaving nickels and dimes off their little trades. Watching this I'm slowly starting to warm up to the idea of a RS to make the share price more palatable / attractive to the institutional side.
Management is required to deliver some solid numbers and show they can grow the business even further over the next 2 - 3 years. Growing profits is the recipe to keep the shorts away!
