Coke (KO) reports TUESDAY.... we'll either be okay or we'll get our arses handed to us... but again -- I buy and hold this kind of company and they come and they go. My problem is the law of large numbers here - and 6000 shares down .80 is a "number"... but then again - that same number HELPS on the way up --- so ya just got to go with the flow.

That's the thing about splits too -- a lot of people will lighten up before or after a split because of the number of shares they'll have - so there's some rebalancing done. For me -- I love a good split... 'cause in the LONG RUN they USUALLY work out just fine.
