>>My Dad has shares of ALD that he did that with (he worked for a company that ALD bought out before i was born) and everytime there is a split they send him new certificates (the stack is getting pretty thick, maybe "buy and hold" realy works).<<

Wow. Your dad has shares of Allied Signal? They are huge. My company has done some network upgrades for several of their chemical plants. Had me travelling all over the country. It's an unbelievably vast network.

I'll bet those certificates will be able to put you through college someday. Just ask him what they were worth when he got them, relative to now and you'll see what a buy and hold strategy can do.
