I had one split last year and it was a matter of only a day or two before the "D" was dropped and it was tradeable.   I guess it depends on one's perspective as far as the timing of news is concerned.  Certainly we don't want to see the post split SP taken back down by any MM games, but they'll have a lot more room to work with, along with the shorts.  The right news at the right time can mitigate or minimize that, perhaps.  Guess we'll find out soon enough.  Good luck to all!
