I agree. It's the same amount of money, just psychologically more attractive to the investors. I see two splits in 1999. Too much going for the company. I would also expect many positive announcements in 1999 to enhance the share price. AOL is the most solid net stock. Look for a very positive quarterly report in the end of January. PHANTOM

George, you are correct. If company A agrees to swap its stock 1 for 1 with company B to effect a merger, and if company A then splits its stock two for one, then at the time of the merger company B shareholders get two shares of A for each share of B they own. This is exactly the same thing that happens with options. If you own one call option of company A presplit you own 2 calls after the split. I don't know why people like to create such problems for themselves! The marketplace would never tolerate anything else. TTFN, CTC
