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?

Historically especially in KO case look at what happens after the split the stock just goes up. Get in before the split, and you are in at the lowest price to ride it up.
Other than that there is really no benefit.
