Splits may be totally irrelevant as regards the capital owned per shareholder after vs before the split. That is a different matter from the issue of whether stock splits affect the stock price more than the mathematical ratio involved, and if a speculator can anticipate and benefit from the stock split announcement and delivery. I operate from the position that yes, there is a pattern to stock splits that might be considered, namely: 1. The split is announced. This good news raises interest in the stock and moves the stock price higher. 2. The stock split occurs. 3. People decide to sell a partial position once they get the "additional" shares. The stock declines. To me, I note it as a pattern. Just my view. Regarding DELL which you mentioned. Last split in '99. Stock rising until actual split, declining soon thereafter. (Well, if I read the squiggles correctly) finance.yahoo.com Or COSWF which you've mentioned recently. A rise leading to a drop right after the split. finance.yahoo.com Perhaps jmo and there's nothing to this anecdotal stuff. Reinforces my view though of what I suspect I often see.
