Stock splits and capital gains debated in old market column
In a lively NY stocks note, readers query how stock splits affect per share cost and capital gains. An example with a 2 for 1 split shows that after split every original share becomes two, lowering price per share but creating gains upon sale. If a $100 original share becomes two at $50 each and one is sold for $100, a $50 gain arises per original share.
