For All The Dumb SPLIT Questions>
Do you honestly think that if you bought KO on the wrong day you will NOT participate in the 2:1 stock split???
Do you honestly think that KO shares will have two prices quoted???
$40.00 a share for those smart enough to buy KO in time to participate in the split.
And $80.00 a share for those idiots who did not pay attention to the complex fine print pertaining to the split???
Through market mechanisms EVERYONE who owns KO shares prior to the actual slit date gets 2:1 shares!!!!
You guys should spend all this time getting split beavers instead of this non-sense!!!!!-
If I buy before Aug 13, am I going to get the split? Thanks

So, what you are saying is that if I can time it correctly I can make 100% on my money in a day. If I buy just after the stock split for $40 and then can sell to someone that is not paying attention to the stop split for $80, then I make a fortune. Is there a way to put in these pre and post split order with my brokerage. I could use a 100% gain in a day. Also, if I don't sell before the split does it mean I own less of the company? Does a company do a stock split to dilute the existing shares and then give more money to the employees. That sucks.

No, it doesn't suck.... because you're getting double the stock for half the price.... hey, take the money and run

I know what will work and would be a really wise move for us to take advantage of KO. Just back date the check we write for the stocks to the date before the split and we will get double the shares even though we are past the date of consideration. I for one will definitely take advantage of this, little known, quirk of the rules. Good luck to all you others who hadn't figured it out.
