That record date is only important if you are getting a cash dividend. Since Dell (and most growth tech stocks) dont do that it is unimportant. Anyone who buys Dell shares up to close of market on Sept 4 will see the share price cut in half and the number of shares double. But traditionally those who buy a few days before the split buy very high and may see the "value" as far as share price goes diminish for a month or two from where they bought it. Freeus Dont get mad at me anyone. YOu know I love Dell. And I only said "diminish for a month or two"!!!!!

The shares are sent on the 4th to the shareholder of record on the 28th, and it is up to sellers (or the brokerage firm if held in street name) to forward the new shares to the buyers. LoD
