Paul, I double your nonsense and see you one split, and then we'll talk about why it does what it does.

Paul - speaking of nonsense, I get a kick out of Maria Bartiromo (sp?) who said this morning she thought there was a lot of buying of CPQ shares. On days when prices of stocks are falling she often reports that there's lots of "selling" going on. Have you noticed that for Maria there is either buying of stocks or selling, not both at the same time? :-)

Paul L., Hi Paul, you can't totally dicount price for when people will actually make a commitment to a stock. Sometimes, a price below a certain threshold allows people who otherwise would not have invested to buy. Also, some investors don't look at PEs , just absolute price, i.e. buying CPQ vs Dell simply based on price. I don't think we can know what this threshold price is but historically, I think research indicates that a stock does run up after announcement of a split. Whether this is due to increased confidence in the company or increased buyers because of price, I don't know. On inflation, I forgot to mention, in agreeing that it doesn't necessarily result when full employment is reached, that this current scenario is contingent upon the dollar retaining it's strength.
