A. No, this strategy won't work. The options will also reflect the split -- it is just not showing up yet in whatever Web site you are using to access the prices.

How Does A Stock Split Affect Stock Certificates?
Q. I just found a stock certificate for International Business Machines (IBM) for 100 shares, from 30 years ago! IBM has split since then at least a few times. Therefore,am I entitled to more shares???
Asked by NunzioZ - Wed Dec 2 19:38:31 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. If you are the owner of these shares you should have been receiving, not only the new shares but also the dividends. However, if you found the shares and the certificate is not in your name, your are not entilted to additional shares. Holding the certificate does not make one the owner of the shares. Certificates are registered in the owners name or a nominee name.. If the stock is yours (registered in your name) you can contact the transfer agent (the name is on the front of the certficate) and provide them with the certificate number (upper corner). The agent will be able to tell you the status of the certificate since the certificate may have been stopped.

A. In a stock split no money is changing hands. Shareholder equity remains the same. Shareholders may hold more shares but the overall value of those shares hasn't increased. With a dividend actual cash is changing hands. And shareholder equity is reduced by the amount of the dividend.
