Glad I didn't listen to any of the Wall Street Journal reading crew force when I went into hock for twice my annual F/O salary back then to buy those 1500 shares at the 'employee IPO' price of $22/share. Yup . . 'stock splits are strictly psychological' . . what a dipstick.
If you listened to the large waterlogged mammal -and the dope above, you would have nada, instead of the (after 4 'splits') 24,000 (+ more purchased on the 'Employee Stock Purchase Plan') shares -at the $90.50 it might close at today Fedex Corp (FDX) - Stock chart, Index chart - MSN Money
If you got a $10 stock that splits you DO NOT have just 2 $5 shares! You have a stock priced now in the range of a lot more people who were reticent to buy it at the higher price. All of a sudden, your 2 $5 shares are worth . . $20 . . $40 . . more . . due to market forces.
It isn't just the Whale who's all wet. I have the nice retirement portfolio to prove it. Oh . .yeah . . that crappy 500 shares of Apple stock I bought at about $13 a share has split twice . . yep . . 'splits' are just a figment of the imagination.

'They're the ones who start out with about a $10 million family fortune. After all the typical bad pilot moves, they are only 'millionaires'.

NOW that it is near the bottom is the time it should split! The bottom feeders would be in a frenzy.
You know . . 'buy low . . sell high'
Of course . . I have not been closely following that particular debacle . . there are too many other good bargains out there . .without the 'notoriety'
