[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what extra shares?[/quote] If you own one share of Google at the close of trading on July 1, you will get an additional 19 shares. The new stock price will trade as of July 15. However, the stock price will also be divided similarly, so there is no inherent benefit. Essentially, you have the same “pie,” but it will be sliced into more pieces. Typically, there is significant buyer interest going into a split date because many people like the idea of owning more shares and it broadens ownership - more retail investors can buy a share of a $100 stock than a $2000 one. Also, if you use options, trades require transactions in 100 share increments. That can be pricey for a $2000/share stock. Finally, there’s the management signaling effect, as management typically splits the stock when they see good things ahead. [/quote] Def makes the stock more accessible for dollar cost avg. It's a great company so I'll be legging in once the stock split noise is gone. Long term buy and hold.[/quote]
