18 shares, worth half the price. i've always been under the impression that a split is never good for the price of a stock. companies like Berkshire Hathaway have never split and are now worth over $90,000 a share (you read that right).
while this may lure more casual investors, i don't know if it gives apple the image they want or need. (hey, but then again, what do i know about running a $5billion company?)
Now I'll be able to afford Apple stock again
FWIW, during the boom, our company announced a stock split and before it happened, the stock plummeted. I am no financial analyst, but I think Apple's stock is due for a correction which may negate this split too.
this pisses me off to no end. if i hadn't sold my stock a few months ago I could buy another pimped out G5, or buy a car or something. oh well, hindsight is always 20/20...
I sold my Apple stock a couple of years ago for around $25 and I made money... don't worry about the "what ifs"
