>>If they're used to granting the same number of options per employee per year, they'll be "cheaper" for the company if granted after the split. Perhaps this influenced the timing for the split.<< Greg, What if Kraber just "played" with the analysts to bring the price down a little to make the shares even more affordable for management to buy for their employee grants and may have been surprised by the drastic correction!?! I know what I am saying may sound preposterous, but that would in some way explain managements' reasoning for calling for the split in the first place... Karim
