Lootman,

I strongly suspect that you think my stock split point is nonsense but indulge me for a moment!

First of all KO is on my watch list anyway, so this is at best only a thin layer of icing on the cake; it's no reason to buy.

This is partly anecdotal and based only on my personal experience in the US.

After a stock split the stock often has a small rally as smaller investors buy into the stock at the lower 'more attractive' price, I understand that there is no logic in that phenomenon but I have seen it on a few occasions.

Small factor though but may just work in my favour and no big deal if it does not
