Research-in-Motion On An Ex-Split Basis (RIMM)

Research-in-Motion (NASDAQ:RIMM) is going to trade ex-split today to reflect the previously announced 3-for-1 stock split.  The $235.99 close of yesterday would now have an adjusted price of $78.663.  Yesterday’s $236.66 high was actually the 52-week high and that would now be adjusted to a year high of what seems or feels like ‘only’ $78.88 because it has carried such a larger price tag for so long.   

Yesterday’s price gain to a close of $235.99 was up more than $15.00 pre-split and up more than $5.00 post split.  The stock’s intraday high yesterday was also followed by its highest closing price that was barely above the old high closing price of $234.35 (or $78.116 adjusted for the split) and one penny above the intraday highs from the same date of July 19.

When you see performance like this it is hard to argue witrh it being one of the new "Four Horsemen of Tech" that Cramer recently named.

Is Your Money Earning the Best Possible Rate? (Sponsor)

Let’s face it: If your money is just sitting in a checking account, you’re losing value every single day. With most checking accounts offering little to no interest, the cash you worked so hard to save is gradually being eroded by inflation.

However, by moving that money into a high-yield savings account, you can put your cash to work, growing steadily with little to no effort on your part. In just a few clicks, you can set up a high-yield savings account and start earning interest immediately.

There are plenty of reputable banks and online platforms that offer competitive rates, and many of them come with zero fees and no minimum balance requirements. Click here to see if you’re earning the best possible rate on your money!
