it is unfortunate, but much better than a reverse split, so compared to that i'd gladly take the increase in shares.  Crazy that it is a threefold increase though.

I combed through a bunch of stocks doing research last night though, and it is very common to find stocks with billions of A/S trading in the tenths of a penny instead of hundredths.  So maybe not all hope is gone for getting above a tenth again sometime.
