Is a stock split in the air?

Not that I'm aware. But the last one (2 for 1) was a year ago at less
than half this level so it's not beyond the realm of possibility.

Don't know anything about stocks.
In '84 I went to a dermatologist in Chicago to
get a cyst cut out of my face. She cut it out and
gave me some exotic infection whiles she was at it.
About 5 bucks a pill for the antibiotic.
Anyway, since it was acne related she prescribed an ointment called
Retin-A, which Johnson & Johnson had developed for that purpose.
It basically slowly peeled your skin off. Painful for some people,
but I could wash my face with Lava with just a little irritation.
After about a month of using this Retin-A, my wife says.
"Your wrinkles are disappearing."
Didn't think much of it, and about a year later I read a small
article in the science section Tribune to the effect that an acne
medication might prove to be a wrinkle remover.
Well sure, I thought. That's no surprise.
Then maybe a couple months later it's big news and everybody with
Johnson stock is making a killing.
Of course it never entered my mind to buy that stock.
So I got my face burned and my ass bit and never knew it.

Wow. You get two shares at half the price. What a bargain!

You're right about the math not adding up but historically a split is
usually good for a short term hop in the price. Its all in the
psychology and perception.

Short-term, maybe. Beyond that it's business as usual.
