An analysis of DELL post-split performance reveals an impressive upward move following split announcements of 35.5% (see below). A review of the charts also clearly shows that the split announcements followed a variety of different market conditions including at least one gut-wrenching decline leading me to believe that when TM said "depending on market conditions" he must mean the market for computers. The way the annual report reads regarding the two splits in the past year the company clearly takes considerable pride in them. Judging by the regularity of splits by stocks trading in this price range and Dells history of splitting in this price range I think that it would be quite unusual for them to not announce a split on August 18th. [[I have excluded the first split on 4/9/92 because it was 3 for 2 rather then the 2 for 1 of the four splits since that time.]] ANNOUNCE DATE AND CLOSE / HIGHEST CLOSE PRIOR TO "ISSUE" DATE / % GAIN 10/9/95 $75.75 $95.25 10/27/95 25% 11/13/96 $92.375 $113.5 12/6/96 22.9% 5/20/97 $99.625 $170.0 7/25/97 70.6% 2/18/98 $113.186 $139.875 3/6/98 23.6% Mark Healy
