Dear Jill: Re splits <<< Do you really make that much more than buying and holding--because of cap gain taxes--? Just curious.>>> Overall its best to make money first, then consider taxes But if one has a low entry cost,(Dell) I would tend not to sell... Some examples: Dell split 3-8 at $45, 3-11=$41, 3-23=$37 Msft split 3-29 at $92, 3-30=$89,4-7=$93 Cmgi split 1-12 at $136, 1-15=$96, 1-22=$94 Cnet split 3-9 at $111, 3-12=$86, 3-18= $90 Yhoo split 2-8 at $158, 2-9=$140, 2-17=$129 Amzn split 1-5 at $177, 1-5=124, 1-14=$138,1-21=$106 Thanks for your question,as it points out why I did not sell as they all went up too %^&*& fast and too high. So if one cannot sell because of taxes, it could still be useful to buy stocks shortly after a split rather than immediately before. Sig
