Is there even one person on this thread who has argued that it is anything other than cutting the pie into more pieces or changing a 10 for ten ones? It is an absurd argument. Even 30 years ago it was; today, the only real impediment to the absurdity was the cost of broker's fees -- now, even THAT is gone. Absurd indeed, but yes, there have been several who argued that a split is meaningful for reasons ranging from knowing people who like round numbers to people who want to invest under $600 and won't use mechanisms to buy a partial share.
