Good point - the price ascension is great but it doesn't provide anything to me as a long-term holder who wants it on a real American index with options trading available.  The company will need to have demand, sales, and profits to justify its existence first.   Reverse splits are usually shorted down hard and harm companies images, IMHO.  With patience, HPQ will hopefully hit all the right notes and everything will come together for us all.
