Well lets see... If I bought 150 shares about a year ago at $15/share or an outlay of $2250, I would have gotten a 3:2 stock split last December and then another 3:2 distribution this coming September 28th. Today's stock value was $37 (it will likely go down to $30 or so to keep the PE in line with the near past). This mean that at the end of September I would own 337 shares at a future guessitmate of $30 after the split or roughly a market value of $10,000. Yikes, a 400+ percent gain? You can still get on board for the pending stock distribution if you own MapInfo stock by September 8th.
