Split: 4 quarters, or a dollar bill. What the hell is the difference?
No one gets this...
They say people will now buy it b/c its cheaper.
That has NEVER made sense to me.
Yea, its cheaper, but dividends are divided b/w 2x as many shares.
If you CAN NOT afford to buy ONE share,
and the split now puts it into your price range, then the split means something to you, other than that, who should care?

Enlighten me, or are people just that stupid?
"Uh, it was at 400, now its at 200, it'll go back to 400!"

I've actually even met some people so stupid as to think that a split
means you double you money!! so they bought before it hapened, hahahaha! These people VOTE!
