There can be a substantial bounce IN THE MARKETPLACE after a split.
RunKC didn’t specify his strategy here. He could very well buy on the announcement, ride it awhile and get back out, capturing the hype wave. That isn’t necessarily a bad strategy.
Or
RunKC could be using news of a stock split as validation for recent gains that they aren’t just a run to stability on this coronavirus thing. Logic would dictate that if it was an unexpected bounce or unsubstantiated within the business, they wouldn’t split. Which wouldn’t necessarily be a bad strategy.
Or
He could be just looking for a lower cost into a share. Which wouldn’t necessarily be a bad strategy.
I agree with you in principle if you’re looking at a buy and hold strategy. But there are some things that RunKC could be looking at that could be sound strategies also. He just didn’t specify.
You can both be right.
By waiting for a stock split you just missed a 10% gain, dumbass!!!
To temper the feeling that I just blew through way too big a percentage of my paycheck on SB LIV gear, I'm throwing an equal amount of money into my IRA.

Keep fucking doubting Tesla. Everyone is worried about them making money in the short term. It's about the end game. Amazon didn't make money for years. Build the infrastructure, position yourself for success, profit later. [Reply]

To be fair, that's the mentality of just about every startup, and a vast majority of them fail. [Reply]
