Does this mean anything? Well.... yes and no.

A stock split all by itself just means that you'll now have twice as many shares at half the cost per share. So there is ZERO value change. BUT.... at some point it becomes what I call the "law of large numbers"... so a .10 share price move is now multiplied by the number of shares you have... and any dividends etc - should they decide to raise them also see that same affect.

Since I do not have any Coke, would now be a time to start and grab some of the "law of large numbers"?
