| Stock split |
 |
An
increase in the number of a corporation's outstanding shares that
decreases the par value of its stock. The market value of the total
number of shares remains the same. The division of a company's existing
stock into more shares. In a 2-for-1 split, each stockholder would
receive an additional share for each share formerly held.

This
is definitely a good indicator that a company's share price is doing
very good. But you don't get any more value, just twice as many shares
at half their value. |
