Bill,
Re: Amgen will split its stock in November.

Is this a prediction, or have they actually announced it and I missed it?


Amgen announced the split the same time they gave the earnings report. I had read it and jumped in to buy AMGN at it's low yesterday.They also announced they were doing a buy back. Newscasters were so busy touting all the bad news and not saying one word about the good news. AMGN is a good co. This is a buying opportunity.
