While I've been an investor for decades I haven't been trading long either (a few years) so please accept this advice for what it's worth. If it's true that price *can* rise following a split for the reasons mentioned in the Investopedia article then it should potentially happen over &...

I spent the last few years off and on looking for a practical application of spectral analysis to improve my trading and so far no real luck (despite degrees in math and numerical modelling, career involving time series analysis). Perhaps the closest I've come is using some combination of...
