that all sounds fine and dandy but lets consider a real case scenario on a stock which has split and one that has not. Microsoft vrs Berkshire Hathoway. Microsoft continues to draw interest from the masses because it is relatively affordable to buy. Berkshire Hathoway has limited its potential buyers because it costs more than a real nice car. This gives the demand and liquidity edge to Microsoft. In any business endevor customer demand and product turnover (liquidity) are essential to maximizing your success.

Now I am not saying that Warren is a fool for not spliting, but, I do feel that Berkshire Hathoway would be much higher in market cap if he had.

Miles, I enjoyed the efficient market discussion on splits last night. I wanted to clarify that my initial statement referred to 2 for 1 splits being bullish for the stock. I don't concider 3 for 2 or 5 for 3 or other splits as a forecaster of a positive future for a stock. Does the efficient market viewpoint take into concideration different split ratios?

I am not familiar with the sources and use statement for stock analysis.

Sergio
