"So if you've got one ESVS share worth $5.00, you now have two shares worth $5.00 each" Boy, don't we all wish we could all just print money like that! But they AREN'T worth $5 each. Let's say you had x,000 shares, and that represented 1% of the company. Well, x,000 shares now represents 1/2% of the company. It is now worth 1/2 as much. Fortunately, you now own x*2,000 shares, and so you are whole. But you didn't double the value of your shares.

PT, I too understand very little in relation to splits and dividends, so I went to the dividend and split threads, read a little to find some people who appeared knowledgeable and PM'd them asking them for their take on the article. According to their answers this is a 2 for 1 stock split. The price should adjust at some point. My personal experience with stock splits has been good. In my case the company was selling for over $150 per share and felt that a lower price might encourage more buying. I don't believe that is the case here. Aleta
