[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 353364"] Can someone explain the above quotes a bit further. I clicked on BrownCafe's Investor Relations link on the left of the page and was only able to look up the stock price back to 11/10/99. The stock has gone from $68 on November 10, 1999 to $68 on Friday, June 13, 2008. (The price fluctuated up and down between those dates, of course.) But clearly no four or five fold increase. That leaves just the 1996 through 1999 period to account for any four- or five-fold increase. BTW, when a stock splits, a stockholder does not make any money on the split itself. It's like splitting a $100 bill into two $50 bills. You aren't any richer. (Though stocks that split are said to be accessible to more future investors because of their lower price.) [/QUOTE]
