单选题TENSING INC. STOCK SPLIT Tensing Incorporated, the hi-tech California company specializing in data storage systems, has announced that it will be proceeding with a two for one stock split this Monday. On October 1st, Tensing shareholders will receive one additional share for every share that they already hold in the company. CEO Julius Barnaby said that the split was decided after the spectacular rise in the Tensing stock price over the last six months. "We've had a great year so far and I'm very confident that the demand for our software solutions will remain strong." The dramatic rise is due to Tensing's expansion into overseas markets. The company's systems have now been adopted by over 135 major international corporations and further growth is on the horizon. At the close of the stock market on Friday, Tensing stock was trading at 70 dollars, a 50% increase over last year. Splitting the stock will make more shares available to investors at half the current price, but it will not increase the overall value of a shareholder's investment. As finance specialist J.J. Holmes of Broker Securities points out, "a stock split does little more than offer shareholders two share certificates instead of one. Tensing has doubled its stock volume and halved the share value. But at 35 dollars, it's a more tempting buy." What would you rather have: a twenty dollar bill or two tens?
