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?

Your right. you arent really gaining anything special. Gregg touched on this on the previous page i think. It was more of a "mental" thing than anything. But its a buy and hold stock that isnt going anywhere for a long time (negativity wise). Think parking lot.
