Have a question about splits, I know they always work out, so sort of idle curiosity, 
but is someone feels like undertaking an explanation, it would be nice to clear this 
up.  Here is the note on the AMAT stock split -

"Applied Materials rallied 65 cents to $52.67. The chip equipment maker set a 
two-for-one split effective Apr. 16 for shareholders of record on Apr. 1. The 
company also held an analyst meeting Thursday. UBS Warburg's Byron 
Walker said the company opened the meeting by saying Spring was around the 
corner for the industry and the capital equipment recovery was in progress."

I know if I buy AMAT on say April 15, if that is a market day, I will get the 
stock split the next day, curious why they always mention shareholders of 
record on a certain day, in this case April 1?
