To All: Re: Splits Seems to me Dell eventually could do a 'reverse' split, thus virtually eliminating the problems of not being able to have enough authorized shares to handle many more 2 for 1 splits... Oh, but it's great even to have to contemplate such problems! FYI: Long 2800 shares, but recently stung by having sold too many July 95 calls

Stock purchase plans had something to offer mom and pop that wanted to avoid the big bad commissions only to buy a few shares of a stock. but look at the facts... Commissions on trades are now insignificant if you care to trade on the Web. A purchase of one share of DELL stock only gets a hit of around 10% for the buy side commission at the discount brokers like Datek($9.99). Schwab, who is a trusted name for those who are more risk adverse, will sell you the same one share for a $30 commission. Face it.. folks can save and buy 10 at a time and make even this "high commission" look reasonable at 3%. Times are changing. Stock purchase plans are old world. Web trading is the new paradigm. Craig
