Author describes an odd-lot preservation arbitrage play on AREB around its 1-for-20 reverse split, buying 100-105 shares to exploit value preservation for odd lot holders.
AREB — LONG The author claims AREB is a notorious reverse splitter that has kept language preserving the value of odd lot holders, so buying 100-105 shares before the 1-for-20 reverse split preserves value (e.g., $46 becomes $920). After share delivery the stock normally plummets 80-90%, and selling the 100 preserved shares yields close to $50 profit. The author notes multiple accounts each get their own 100-share exemption, and the main risk is the expected post-split tank.
Buy 100-105 shares (vibes) and you are now holding the minimum for your shares to hold their value. $46 (100 x $0.46 @ 9am) -> split w preservation -> 20:1 = $9.2 x 100Sh = $920.
