"Do you think the Dell employees are simply confusing a 3 for 1 split with the increase of shares? Quiet frankly, that has my first thought but I am beginning to wonder if maybe they are not confused." If it was not from several different sources I would think so. Could all of the employees be confused? "I don't subscribe to the mistaken theory of increased value due to split." The value is only perceived. I was reading a post on the CPQ thread where they were complaining that DELL was up more than CPQ. Dell was up more points, but if you look at the percentage, CPQ was actually up more. When someone ask you if your stock is up today you might say, "yeah it was up 2 points." Well those 2 points mean a lot more if the stock price is $40 than if it is $120. People like to buy stocks in round lots. They may not have enough money to buy 100 share of a stock that is over $100 a share. For some reason, a point is a point to most people no matter what the price is (within reason). How much would Dell cost if it never split? Would you buy Berkshire Hathaway?
