I agree. Whether EMC splits at this level or not at all, it is irrelevant to the growth of the earnings of this superb company. Also SUNW and CSCO have weathered the 25% downturn in the NASDQ very well. These are my top three holdings and there is a reason for their resilience. All three companies have extraordinary top line revenue growth and they are less prone to interest rate issues. I really am waiting to see their growth rate in their respective stock prices after the climate in technology improves towards the second half of 2000 IMO.

<<What is with this fixation over stock splits? >> If Mike R. thinks it time to split, he will recommend it, if he don't, then he wont. I have put my faith in him for the past 5 years and so far, he's made the right call. I kinda have a feeling he has a few more shares than I do and believe me, he'll do what's best for all shareholders. Donald

Dear Bill: As an accountant I certainly realize that "splits" are a mirror trick etc etc. But, you gotta admit, in general, THEY WORK!! One reason I believe is that responsible companies only split their stock when they believe the future is very bright and earnings are going to increase dramatically. A second thing is exposure, whatch CNBC screen and the trades going across the top. Obviously what you see is only a small portion of the trades, I guess taken at random, however, you will sit a long time between seeing EMC trades on the cnbc screen. To me that means that not a lot of volume of individual TRADES but more of larger individual trades since the stock trade volume in total has been ok. I think exposure is important. These are the only reasons I would like to see this stock split. Like it or not, its human nature to want to buy in 100 share lots and a lot of people can no longer afford to do that at EMC's current price. But, believe me I certainly understand the other side of the arguement. JDN
