>>action on split will not make a difference in stock price Mechanically that's true, since it's just like getting two ten dollar bills for a twenty, but in reality, it's rarely the case. Splits attract the momentum crowd and usually result in higher p/e's just before the event, and after the split, the lower price opens up purchases to a larger pool of investors which helps drive the price up. There's a lot of psychology associated with splits that shouldn't be discounted. Frank
