MSFT, EBAY, IBM whacked pre-report

guidance has been tepid at best, economy still sputtering, powder keg in the Middle East, and usual talking heads are bullish.

Seems like a bear's dream to me!:p
 
Quote from MondoTrader:

msft is very shrewd, Splits and new dividends attract attention. It is just a trick however, that dividend is very small.

Granted, but I still do not think I would want to cut my stock price in half in a bear market. I would avoid any possibility of becoming a NASDAQ "single digit midget".:eek:
 
yes, AAA, you would definitely not be bottom picking by buying here. We are towards the end of a bull move in the major indexes and valuations are still too high for value investors, and there isn't any growth for growth investors.
 
geeezus.. who the F splits at 50...

man i can't freakin stand stock splits..... mother Fers...

if i had my way i'd make the law that your stock has to trade between $50-$100...

there's another stock to drop of my radar.... jeez this shit sucks... i'm not even gonna need a scanner soon.... there'll only be 1 or 2 stocks worth trading...

Don't sugar coat it. Tell us how you really feel!:D
 
I agree with daniel about this stock split in MSFT.

I try to trade stocks 35 and above and that's going to
kill it for trading MSFT. There was absolutely no point
for MSFT to split.
 
Quote from Bob777:

After the split, there will be 10.7 billion shares of MSFT!

thats what I was thinking..........

this stock going to move/trade like a fly in molasses...

why issue more shares?...

scratch another stock off my list to trade with
:mad:
 
This was the first time in my memory Microsoft made such a transparent attempt to support the stock. Is the business that bad?!?
 
Why split the stock at 50? Bill Gates now owns a billion shares of MSFT, meaning he just wrote himself a check for $160,000,000 a year on dividend payments alone. If Bush gets his way, it will be untaxable, too.

Thats why you split a stock at 50.
