>>What I am politely stating is the question that was asked was if May 1 is the date of record for receiving the 3 for 1 stock split. And you answered that question. And answered it. And answered it. And I posed a rhetorical question to johnny-Sr. which made a wider, more salient point.

<A record date of May 1, 1998,. . .> Yes, this is what I'm asking. . . . . . I would rather purchase before the split because if DIS goes up quickly after the split and I haven't purchased, then I am loosing money if I buy after the split and the stock is on the rise. What I have notices (usually) is that after a company announces a stock split, the price rise quickly, then settles back down. If I buy at higher than the split price, then I'm behind the eight ball after the split. If I can time it right and buy as it's settling down, then when it splits and rises back up, I'm making money (quicker)!!! Replies. . . . I'm a novice, and a technical one. So you investing wizards tell me if I am making a mistake with this logic.
