WE ALL WISH THAT STOCK SPLIT WILL DOUBLE OUR MONEY Splits don't work that way. On 11/20/97 you bought 100 shares. Today is the SPLIT DATE. Now you have 200 shares, 2 for 1 split. However, the STOCK PRICE and the DIVIDEND split too. Assuming that the stock price stayed at $100/sh, you still have $10,000. 11/20/97 ======== 100 shs @ $100/sh = $10,000 There are various reason why companies split their stock. Two of them are: 1) Attrack new investors to buy stock at a cheaper price 2) Dilute stock ownership among a larger number of investors 11/24/97 ======== 200 shs @ $50/sh = $10,000 You will generate a higher return in the long run if your stock splits. Ask anybody that has owns MICROSOFT since it started trading. They sure love STOCK SPLITS.
