Thanks for the info... WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT?

Pink sheet companies with billions of shares out generally reverse with the announced purpose of creating a price that will allow listing. But the true purpose (almost always) is the elimination of shareholders.

These "elimination reverses" are always deep (1:1000 or even 1:more) but, ironically, almost never deep enough. They always compromise and wind up neither sheep nor fowl still with too many shares, falling like boulders and a bunch of outraged shareholders.

A share buyback is self explanatory and is done from company profits.
And now...

...for something completely different. My son shared this with me today:

The Truth Behind Hillary in Bosnia*Video
