Multiply this times 4 quarters --- and it's like FREE MONEY!

Let's not forget about the TOTAL RETURN -- so growth in capital PLUS the FREE MONEY....

Do I get a 1 share tip for the lead?

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?

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.

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.

I don't know him, but I wanted to help him out and steer him in the right direction..

I felt when you came here, that I had done something to help someone.Now you and I are helping someone else start to Invest.

Stacie/Ace , will be a great addition to this site...His econ, math and business skills will be good to see..

And thank you Europeans and Asians, for being large consumers of this nasty product! I'll spend it in good health!

Lets not forget MO isn't only tobacco. MO also owns Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery which was one of the reasons I added it to my holdings. Wine doesn't last long in this house hold.

Yup.. I check this thread and NastyZ all throughout the day. (and now the health 101 thread, lol).

Ace will stir up some good stuff i'm sure (in a good way). I hope he makes it this far! Its a lot of reading to do, but WELL worth it.

EXACTLY....


No other reason -- and NO GUARANTEE -- that it will go up before, or after the split... but lots of times news like this get a stock "moving".

I added more to my position because I was light to begin with.
