I've been pondering that myself, BB. They have never split their stock, but there are at least two reasons why they might consider it this quarter or next. First, they have indicated that they intend to make strategic acquisitions in 2000; if this were done with stock, increasing the stock price would be to their advantage. Second, the huge short position as a percentage of the float, combined with the high institutional ownership, have made this stock somewhat illiquid for a $2 billion company - this is evidenced in larger than acceptable bid/ask spreads. A stock split would improve this liquidity somewhat.
