OT-splits,last post - E. Davies, I agree completely on psychological effects of splits. My original statement was that the holder of a stock which splits gains nothing financially (APART from the effects that psychology brings, in the market, if any). I think we agree on this, depends on what you mean by "benefit", semantics...

Eric, I agree with you comments on the psychology of (splits and) valuing growth stocks. If you extend that argument, I guess you could say that investment forums such as SI, which tend to provide psychological support for the longs (save an occasional bear intrusion), might artificially inflate the price of a stock. I wonder what type of results might fall out of shorting the stocks on SI with the most posts...? Only 95% kidding, -Bill
