Your statements are representative of public delusion. They are rationalizations and carry 0 truth. You have x dollars to invest in XYZ. The price per share is irrelevant. What does it matter how many shares you buy? Somehow the public believes that splits cause share price to rise. This is more delusion from bull market intoxication. The market is going to have to punish you severely if you persist in this delusion.

OT - splits I agree, splits cause excitement, which MAY cause a stock to rise. That is a second-order effect of what it does to people emotionally. Financially, the $5/$10 example holds. >Actually, if the company splits it's stock, that normally allows >those folks that would not purchase a $100 stock to now purchase >a $50 stock, if you assume a 2 for 1. Maybe in the old days when 100-share blocks had cheaper broker commissions. Today, just buy 1/2 as many shares at 100/share than you would have bought if it was selling for 50.
