Hi freeus, concerning the LU stock split and any pullback....LU appears to be an extremely resilient stock. My guess is that there is a huge number of LU shareholders that are from the original T spinoff. (myself included) T holders tend to be a conservative lot and therefore I think the LU shareholder base is solid. Also LU has a DRIP program. After the spinoff, I converted some of my T shares to LU and have been adding through the DRIP, I literally consider my initial shares to have a -0- cost basis since the shares were acquired thru my husbands compensation package when he worked there. Of course this is not to say that holders won't bail if there is a significant pullback, but that seems quite unlikely. Just something to consider.
