CORRECT.


You'll get 7 shares for every one you owned --- but of course, you'd also divide the current price by 7

On MONDAY they'll begin to trade at the new split adjusted price.


Will be interesting to see if people BUY because it's now "affordable" -- or if the current holders SELL because now they have 7 times as many shares.

We need more buyers than sellers... it's just real simple that way. :>)
