3 Stocks That Should Split Like Apple And Tesla
And why splits are the best thing to happen to investors
I’m tired of old investors picking on new investors.
Apple CEO Tim Cook and Tesla co-founder and CEO Elon Musk get it.
They understand that being shareholder-friendly no longer only applies to old people with lots of money. It matters equally to the record number of investors who entered the stock market in 2020.
When a stock splits, the split, in and of itself, has no direct impact whatsoever on the value of that stock.
You can teach this to anybody. It’s basic math.

Donald Trump does this all of the time with the obvious, and it’s annoyingly pathetic.
The dopamine and adrenaline flows harder when you load up on 2,000 shares of a stock rather than 0.25 shares.
A quarter of a share in Apple at $400 is the same as one share of Apple at $100.
The stock split’s beauty lies in the practical application it has on the ground.
