- I do, there wasn't. (That is, each share of IBM stock
- that I own is now at a little more then 1/3rd the value
- of it's original purchase price). There has been no split.
- IBM is, by far, the worst performer of the stocks I own
- (admittedly, the rest are utilities).

- Wish I'd bought MS, though.
