"Because you would otherwise be paying a really high stock price"

This quote is from the aol thread. What a pitiful thread. It is like total MythMan, but these people are serious. So they have a discussion going about the pending split in aol and they don't want to pay the 145 or so price if that means they don't get additional shares when the price drops in half. So the guy says gosh it would be really high if i paid double.

For some reason it just cracked me up. Like there is any reality in internet stock prices. I wanted to say "Oh go ahead. You are paying 20 times the value anyway, what's another 2 times?"
