It's my understanding that S&P changed the weighting of CSCO and QCOM in the 500 and that today's price increase in those two stocks was in part because of index fund buying. lurking... lurqer

I don't know... I buy KeepItSimples postulation. Makes perfect sense actually... No, very few that play splits are that misinformed because split-players will have ran into this exact issue many times already. Do you really think that people trying to play a split for the first time ever can pile on to the Second Largest Company On Earth in the order of magnitude required to cause today's action? He will make money in his puts tomorrow, though, as realistically some of todays gain will have to be given back but his theory is screwy as hell. This ain't a small cap that the Message Board Morons can push around. He's just here to bait and needle, like j*ch. Everyone needs to gloat about something. He can gloat about his upcoming small short-term gains and I'll gloat about my less-than-three-year CSCO total long-term gains of 810%.

Off topic -- splits ... It seems like every time one of my holdings split, the thread comes alive with questions, answers, and opinions about the wonderful future we'll experience after the split. Since I pay commissions on a per share basis, my transaction costs double. Other than this, the extra posts I must sift through, and the adjustments I must make in my recordkeeping, splits are a minor nuisance. On March 23, I'll still own the same fraction of the company I owned on March 21. Cheers, PW. P.S. Original CSCO shares now split 144:1 (2:1,2:1,2:1,2:1,2:1,3:2,3:2,2:1,2:1)
