Henry,
Good question? I don't really know,but is it at the end of the year that they announce a dividend raise?

Just a quick look - I think dividend increases occur after the first quarter results are known.

Past annual reports show :

96 - paid .20 .05 / qtr
97 - paid .24 .06 / qtr
98 - paid .32 (assumes continuation of .08/qtr)

Last split was announced 5/19/95 effective 6/19/95 - note that it already is authorized to increase the number of outstanding shares to enable another 2 for 1 split.Prior to that it was announced 4/2/93 effective 5/25/93.

I think a 2 for 1 is due when earnings become visible (lets hope it occurs at the high 30,s like it did in may 1995) By the time it was effective the stock was at 44 split to 22 and quickly ran up to 36.

Henry do you think you can go there tomorrow and put a stockholder's pitch on them ? Let's do that again ! Somehow I don't think they'd argue too hard.

Let's hope she flies tomorrow !

Bob

P.S. I had buys at 28 5/8,28 1/16,28,27 1/2 - it was one of the most intense days I've had. You gotta believe!

I think I hope

Bob
