brad, actually, bilow owes me a response with real numbers. we are going to do the splits one at a time stating with the last one. cpq up 63% since they announced the split in just 4+ months. we'll discuss that one and then work back. but , we will use the actual numbers not graphs in log chart which dilute the effects. so, there is a 63% on last split..can we agree that is pretty good.. Also, I never said and don't believe that a split makes a stk go up. earnings drive that. so, I do beleive that some mangements know ahead what earnings are going to look like more than we do. so they announce a split bec. they know that the future earnings will keep their stk going up and they will not end up with a stk in the teens. plus on top of that, cpq annnounces a divey. and keeps repeating that 4th qtr is strong and they have numbers plus they maintain over and over again this 50billion in 2000. that's this 3 yrs....and knowing cpq. they probably see 55 billion in the bag so they predict 50 billion. Okay...can we agree that 63% in 4+ months is okay. that's 150% annualized
