20-1 reverse split means 20 shares at $1 are now 1 share at $20 right?

I would feel LOUSY!

Why did they do that?

Yes the value is actually the same, however, due to the crash the stock became a penny stock so it's still pretty much worthless. If it didn't reverse spilt then I had a chance to get my money back or make more in the future. No go now as I went from 5000 shares to a crappy 250.....

Damn, I can't wait for the market to rebound......

Man that sucks...I took advantage of the economic dump and bought a bunch of stocks. Don't feel too bad, my buddy dropped about $90k into Lucent stocks when it was 70 bucks a share...

I would be doing the same thing if I wasn't having a house built. I can't take the risk of losing any more money. I lost a ton of money, but I'm glad I bought my vette when I did, otherwise I would have lost that money too...

You bet I plan to hold at this point. I hope in the next 3 yrs or so I can recoupe most of my money back. Once that happens then I will be one happy camper.........
