RE:RE:RE:Is the rate cut definately going to be bullish? The effects of a stock split broadens the distribution of a company,s shares , increases marketability and facilitates equity financing in the future if required. Most companies believe it is good corporate strategy to keep the market price of their shares in a popular price range which is generally lower as it "seems" more affordable to more investors. I agree that it adds no value per se , but it adds other features that have been proven to increase attractiveness to a far greater shareholder base . In most cases the stock price advances over time due to these added measures. I,m all for it!
