Thought there was a cut off date before you could qualify to get in on the stock split. Is that true or whatApple 4 to 1 stock split is Aug 24
Better to buy now before the split?
Assuming people are gonna buy up once shares get cheaper ???
Not at all. Apple is doing a 4 to 1 forward stock split. All that means is on the given date whatever the current price for one share is will be split into four shares.Thought there was a cut off date before you could qualify to get in on the stock split. Is that true or what
Yea you explained it right, but let's say the date is suppose to split is the 22nd "for the sake of the convo" and I buy today on the 21st will I still qualify for that split?Not at all. Apple is doing a 4 to 1 forward stock split. All that means is on the given date whatever the current price for one share is will be split into four shares.
So let's say the split was today and Apple is $476 for one share. If u own one share during the split u go from 1 share @ $476 to 4 shares @ $119 each (476÷4).
U still own the same amount but more shares. But now that u have 4 shares instead of one, whatever growth comes after the split is multiplied by four instead of one.
So if u buy 2 shares today, when the stock split happens it'll turn into 8 shares. So on n so forth.
Also if $476 is too high for u to buy right now u can wait til the stock splits and get it for cheaper for one share. Which is why they're doing the split to begin with, to cheapen the price and get more investors
Idk if I'm explaining this well lol.

Better to buy now or after the splitYea.
Since the split is happening Monday (24th) u have til today before market closes to buy before the split.
That's the million dollar question tbhBetter to buy now or after the split
That's what I've been wondering.Better to buy now or after the split
I believe Apple will keep growing (albeit more slowly after the split). With the incoming 5G cycle and tens of millions of users around the world due for an upgrade at the same time they will still likely be very profitable from their iphones. Add to that their profits from services are increasing year on year and they have the wearables market on lock with the airpods and watch I dont see that train slowing down anytime soon.That's the million dollar question tbh
Apple's a juggernaut that's not going anywhere so its a good buy no matter what. I bought a few shares before the split just to get in but I saved some money to jump in after the split just in case the price went down after the split. I think its 5 in one hand, 7 in another. You can't go wrong with either strategy.
I probably just grab a few shares each month and see what happens. If I can get 25-50 shares I think I'll be straight...
me and you in the same boat bought some this morning. just got 2 of em may get 1 more come MondayI pulled the trigger got a couple shares

I'm a rookie I'm only working on the assumption that when people know a strong company is gonna forward split it's good news and the share price rises.I just read the last few posts. The split itself does nothing. So getting it before the split, or after the split doesnt matter.
The important thing here is to find a blue chip company that grows like crazy and has a tendency to split and keep the prices of its shares down.
The reason thats important is because in Apples case, it makes it easy to keep buying shares. Thats the important point. To keep building volume.
For example, Amazon might grow faster than apple, but how many of us can afford to buy shares of amazon at $3200?
If a person can afford to buy only 2k stock a year, they can get like 10 shares of apple a year, but wait 2 years to buy 1 share of amazon.
In this case, even if apple increases twice as fast as apple, investing in apple will make you more money.
Reason why is compounding interest. In the 2 years it took the person to buy 1 amazon stock, the person that bought apple was able to invest and get returns. And now the person that bought amazon will only get returns on that 1 stock while waiting 2 years to buy more, but the person that bought apple stock will keep buying more and not only get returns on their new purchases, but also get returns on their returns from the purchases made the first 2 years.
So in the long run, the person buying apple stock will make a ton more money even if apple grows at 10% and amazon grows at 20%.
Thats why its super important to find blue chip stocks that will keep growing and have a patern of splitting their stock to make it easy for you to buy.
This is why people say microsoft makes people millionaires every 20 years. They say that about apple and coke too. Idk bout coke continuing that pattern in 2020, but aapl and msft will.
TLDR: it doesnt matter if you buy before or after, just keep buying once it does, and 3 splits later you will be rich as fuck.
@Sion verify this for the people bruh. I dont got your credebility
