Maria just said issue was oversubscribed and AOL is expected to trade up today.

This secondary offer only increases the outstanding number of shares by about 2-3%. I don't find this significant enough to impact the stock one way or another

Keith, why do you say that a split has becoming less likely unless it is explicitly prohibited as part of the offering (which I highly doubt). AOL execs are the consummate managers of their stock price. I imagine that part of the appeal of the offering is a pending split announcemnt by AOL after the distribution. AOL would split its stock every week if it thought it would make the shares go up. That is a major difference between YHOO and AOL. YHOO is actually managing a business instead of a stock price.
