I missed your other question and think that it is the most relevent to Investing 102
You asked would a split event like this spark buying interest? Meaning - would the announcement of a split in a stock or some other big news event cause me to buy a stock?
I buy on the fundamentals ONLY.... and if there's a split... or a buyout... or some other "news" then it's just a freebie. Usually -- if I already own the stock and have for at least a year and one day (LTCG's) I will SELL half of the holding if I see a big run up. I can always buy back in.
The fundamentals of COP looked better in comparison to CVX and XOM...
