Fighting "the Shorts"

[Palm]

I agree; the "mini stock split" was a euphemism to describe the stock dividend. The stock dividend ends up having more shares in circulation without the more drastic effect of a true split. To have the desired effect the stock dividend needs to have regularity to it to discourage the naked shorting. Quarterly would probably do it as there is a bit of administration necessary. Then to really nail shorts issue a cash dividend after a sell down as long as there is enough cash. Would t have to be big to have the desired effect.
