I think he means if we get the anticipated split this fall. FWIW..I think we could see 3 splits in the next 2 to 3 years..PURELY my opinion.

You might want to consider how many shares would be outstanding with 6 more 2 for 1 splits. Next split means around 1.3 billion shares, go five more times and you have a float north of 40 billion shares - that kind of performance is a pipe dream. 40 billion shares at 25 per share give you a market cap of one TRILLION dollars. That is more than Microsoft, Intel, IBM, HWP, CPQ, and GE combined.... John

jhg in kc, the best way to validate that is to take a look at historical prices for, say, the past two or three years. When I did that, I averaged 3 splits every two years. Also, you can do a bit of simple math... assume you have invested $10K in DELL say Feb 97, how many shares would that have gotten you.? and how many those shares would have become today ? and what is their current value...? the numbers will truly surprise you... that is why I sold MSFT, CSCO, and others and shifted to DELL. Good Luck.
