People are so funny. A couple of months ago, when Lu was having trouble holding on to 100 a friend asked me for some stock recommendations. I said high risk high mover AOL, medium risk medium-high mover DELL, no risk moderate mover LU. She looked at the price and said "Oh $100 stock". I said "Its really a $120 stock just not right now." She waited. Yesterday she bought some at 63 and said "I got it at 63" I said "It split".She said "Well I wait for those" I said "But if you bought it at 100 a couple of months ago you would actually have it at 50 now and be up almost 15%". People are odd but now I know why stocks go up around split time. And this is an intelligent educated business savvy woman! Freeus
