    You are probably right....I am kicking myself everyday....had the trade order prepared to buy DUST @ 13.95 back in Aug .....I didnt pull the trigger because I had the same thought...What if they decide to do a reverse split???....Now DUST is @ $40.00.....Learning from that mistake....Will be buying NUGT in the next few days....

    Splits mean nothing to portfolio value or to the stock's value. 50 shares worth $100 is no different that 5 shares worth $100 unless quantity is more important to the investor than value. Splits only serve the purpose of attracting more buyers because the stock price "appears" cheap while reverse splits raise the price to keep a stock from falling below the exchange's minimum price to be eligible for listing.

    On the flip side splits are an indication of recent good performance while reverse splits are an indication of recent poor performance.

    The decline from democracy to tyranny is both a natural and inevitable one.

    I laughed because I've experienced this. BUT, it eventually came back.

    NUGT has already done a pair of reverse splits at 10-1 and 5-1.....a net 50-1. It's not likely it will recover it's >50% decay over the past several years any time soon. Maybe with gold at $10,000/oz it might do it.

    It's probably more than coincidental that NUGT and DUST came into being within a year before the Sept 2011 gold peak. They got the sheeple to ride NUGT down while they rode the DUST train.
