Anyone

What's going on? I thought AOL closed at 119+7/16. Then all of the sudden the bid/ask on Schwab is 121/125? A $4 gap in the bid/ask?

Can anyone confirm this? Was there an announcement that I can't find or is it just a glitch.

Dennis

Laura,

<<If AOL announces a split, the stock could gap up the next morning.>>

It always has historically. The question is whether the split news has already been discounted in AOL recent dramatic price rise.
Best,

P.S. I'd still like to know who all these people are who believe that owning twice the shares at half the price means you somehow own more.
