<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm not sure what your time frame is but for the 
short term I never hold over an earnings report or a stock split in my 
aggressive account. Many stocks sell off even after a good earnings report. 
Likewise many stocks run up prior to a split and sell off after it. This is 
short term stuff so if your horizon is more than a few days I would be more 
comfortable holding on.</FONT></DIV>

  <DIV><FONT face=Verdana>Greetings</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV><FONT face=Verdana>Could some one please help with&nbsp;an opinion on 
  this only slightly off topic matter.</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV><FONT face=Verdana>Last week I bought Flextronics (FLEX) at US$77 and had 
  intended to sell at around $83/84 after the results were&nbsp;announced. 
  </FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT face=Verdana></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV><FONT face=Verdana>After close yesterday FLEX announced an excellent 
  profit result&nbsp;and a two for one share split.</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV><FONT face=Verdana>Question ..... Do US stocks&nbsp;prices (all other 
  things being equal) usually surge ahead after a split so that&nbsp;two new 
  shares exceed the price of&nbsp;one old share?</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
