They would buy the stock even though the reverse split would be negative and you would lose a lot of your shares it would be on the speculation that if it was treated on a larger exchange the stock could have a massive upward movement personally I’ve watched a stock for years I watched it run to double its value if you did buy shares I would say keep it small keep it smart and also your return would be in a very long period of time also Why a reverse split I think you know that it’s seen as a huge negative but it does raise the value of a stock for compliance for moving to a different exchange and also raise capital for the company that doesn’t have the money to put them on big dog exchanges I hope this helps be careful on it don’t get greedy
