Am I missing something here? A lot of you are adding more Coke shares to your portfolios and I'm assuming some of it is due to the news of a split. But wouldn't you be getting the same amount if you purchased after the split? If they are splitting at a 2-1 ratio, isn't the share price also going to split 2-1? I know this has been discussed before I'm just curious as to the benefit of purchasing all these shares prior when the price will adjust accordingly afterwards.
BTW if I had some spare change I would be purchasing more shares myself. This isn't intended on being a negative post, just curious about the benefit of purchase prior to the split. Other than share price being driven up by demand because of a new lower share price, am I missing something?
