"Because you're not getting half shares like your half cookies....Some people prefer to have more smaller cookies instead of half as many bigger ones." What? Same weight in dough. Okay you get two round cookies instead of two half pieces. Round or half-moon (or square or whatever) you still get the same calories. E.g., after a split, the company has no additional earning power. Remember earnings? That's what used to drive stock prices. Oh, and crowd-madness, too--the euphoria and complacency that always accompanies market bubbles. Regards, David Todtman
