Johnd, I don't get this date of record business. How would influence trading in the stock?? thanks. BTW--that story about SQL Server being more cost effective that I posted this morning just hit the regular newswires (checked Yahoo!) It is a good idea to check on Bloomberg.com because they get the news out sooner many times.

johnd, >Tomorrow is the last day prior to 3 trading day for settlement for the record date of 12th. How come you care so much about "the record date" ? Based on my experience on the internet split play, Stocks tend to move up a week before the ex-pay date instead of the record date. Please check the daily chart of AMZN, YHOO, EBAY, CMGI, and CNET (split today), and you will understand my meaning. Jim S.
