Ha! You are here again !!!

How many shares or what the capitalization is of no matter at all. It all depends on the market and the growth of the company, and the sentiment of the investors. 10 years ago, Intc's PE is less than 10, Microsoft's PE is less than 20, and what is now ? Thinking about the software industry is everything which push the productivity and the Hi tech of the future. Well, five years down the road , a PE of 700
for Microsoft is of no surprise to me. Do you see the PE of those internet stock, there is a reason behind. The internet increase the productivity, change the way of distribution information / products, which means big savings on Marketing and sales activity, and travels, that is why we have a high productivity low inflation and high employment environment. So, you need a cool head and pls cool down.

KingTutt: It is pretty easy to figure out it is called a stock split. In one fell swoop the number of shares is doubled. The trick is to build the earnings under those new shares. AOL just split for the the second time this year. That means they have 4x the number of shares there that they had at the beginning of the year. Perhaps you should cut and pastes and post this one over there. JFD
