‘Super Micro Computer’ (SMCI) Most Likely Will Announce A Split Today. Will It Be 5:1 or 6:1?

Yes, it has come off its lofty highs earlier in the year — or for that matter, a few weeks ago. It has been as high as $1,229 this year! So today it is trading at half that.

A few weeks ago, I was still thinking 10:1 slit.

Doubt whether they would do that now. Would make the stock a tad too cheap.

This year we had both ‘Broadcom’ (AVGO) & ‘NVDA‘ do splits (though it hasn’t done great guns for the stock).

IF they announce a split it will not be a surprise. Most will find it boringly predictable.

Would be good for option traders.

We will know in just a couple of hours. SMILE.


I Sure Hope ‘Tim Walz’ Works Out For ‘Kamala’. ‘Tim’ Is NOT An Auspicious Name For VPs.

I had never heard of him — & I am a political junkie.

Yes, he wasn’t one of my two picks, BUT that is OK. My wishes only rarely come true.

Yes, I am an acknowledged AGEIST — but I can afford to be. I know, first hand, what age does. That he looks that OLD leads me to believe that he is fond of the ….

AND BINGO …

A DWI conviction just 30 year ago (and I use ‘just’ advisedly). He would have been 30. A bit too old for a DWI (though, of course, I know there is NO age limit for stupidity).

Well, my graphic conveys my current thinking.

I hope this works out.
