Don't everyone jump in to answer at the same time!

It did not, nor led to anything because this mornings speculations about the "NEW YORK, Jan. 28 ? Shares of Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT) inched up in trading before the opening bell on Tuesday after a federal judge granted the software company's motion to throw out five of the consumer antitrust lawsuits filed against the company in four states."

So i belive they put it on hold.

Ahhh....here we go.

What is the effective date of the split?

There are several key dates.

The Record Date ? January 27, 2003 - determines which shareholders are entitled to receive additional shares due to the split;

The Mailing or Payment Date - February 14, 2003 - is the date when holders of record or brokers are mailed notification of the shares subject to split; and

The Ex-split Date - February 18, 2003 - is the date when Microsoft common shares will trade on Nasdaq at the new split-adjusted price.

I thought the same thing and Ive been trading a LOOOONG time so I suspect some news items were in error.. How could that be??? Oh, the horror. :Q

Codeyf was correct in his last post unless it could be changed again.

Question: So if you buy today, what do you pay and do you get the 2 for 1 split?
