Big Bucks,

I wish you would have addressed the example I gave. BRKa is a perfect example since it is about as well run an entity as you could want, and yet it lags AMAT and has absolutely no stock splits.

Dilution of the companys assets and
earnings potential by excessive shares available

Simply splitting the stock does not dilute. Issuing stock options yes, on that I agree, and hope(and think) that expensing will curb this habit. But simply splitting the stock does not in any way dilute. If you and I each have 1000 shares and the stock is split, we each have 2000 shares, and the exact same percentage ownership of the company as we had before. So I ask again, how is this in any way dilutive?

Brian

Define "excessive stock", "excessive shares", "intrinsic value baseline", please.

Are you saying that a large enough reverse split will do wonders for the stock?
