Look, splits did NOT make those stocks grow. They grew because the underlying company grew. The fact that the mgmt chose to split the stock is completely independent, and is an EFFECT of the growth, not causitive at all.
As a counterexample, lookup the price of BRKA, Warren Buffet does not believe in splits, for the reasons discussed here by Ahhaha and myself. In case you don't click it, it shows $71,700 per share, +$495 (0.70%) today...
Splits don't cause growth, growth causes growth.

PS, I've owned dell for a while, several splits. I like the fact that the underlying company increases profits regularly. Whether I own 1 share at $100,000 or 10,000 shares at $10 makes no difference to me... |
