Pre-split, I remember all kinds of shenanigans to "make the numbers" at every end-of-quarter. Shuffling around repair orders so we could "take credit" for them, only to pull them back days later (after numbers were reported, of course).
All of that pain, to "make the numbers." When it worked, the stock went up a couple bucks. When it didn't, the stock went down..... a couple bucks.
I'll never get over all of that thrash, to gain so little. And now, when Honeywell Aerospace is all on its own, and theoretically has it's Big-Boy pants on, it's down an incredible 40% from it's post-split high of $270.
It's laughable.
