Sb, this is out of this mornings San Diego tribune. < Amazon.com Inc. shares surged 18 percent yesterday to a record after the online book and music retailer said it will split its stock 3 for 1, the second split this year. Amazon.com rose $27.37-1/2 to $180.62-1/2 in trading of 11.1 million. A year ago, the shares traded as low as $22.62-1/2. The Seattle-based company unveiled the stock split Thursday. Yesterday's rise capped a week that's seen Amazon.com shares climb by 41 percent, prompted by a new holiday store expected to give shoppers another reason to visit Amazon's Web site. Investors are betting the company, which hasn't reported a profit, is taking the right steps to secure a chunk of the $108 billion in online sales expected by 2003.
