Wonder what my fellow owners think:
How about a 3-1 split at $300?

Might be time to start including market caps of the big 6 Hollywood studios in that list. I’m now convinced Steve’s long-term plan is to “close the loop” on Apple’s vertical integration by buying some or all of the major content studios w/ that $40+ BILLION pile of cash (and growing >$16B per year).
For example, market cap of #1 studio Time Warner (TWX) is ~$35B – so Apple could just about offer a reasonable all-cash tender offer already.
I know that’d split Apple’s focus. I hear you. I just feel like some days he’s gotta say to himself:
“$#@! it – I’m tired of negotiating w/ these guys – I’m going to single-handedly transition the world to a sane content-aquisition business model tomorrow.”

@shareholder opinion
Please no. Lower price means greater instability.

Jobs (with the rest of the sane world) has got to feel that way everyday. But owning media conglomerates would be shackles on Apple’s ankles (and wrists, and neck…)

@shareholder opinion: Splits do *nothing* for a stockholder. 1 share of a $300 stock has the same value as 3 shares of a $100 stock. All a split does is raise the overhead involved in sending prospectuses, proxy votes etc. as the shareholder pool grows wider and less deep (“hey, I got 2 shares of Apple at $100!”).
The days when trades were generally made in 100 share lots are looong gone. Any psychological effect on stock price with respect to stock splits is de minimus.
If anything, I’d prefer that Apple have *fewer* than the 1 billion shares it already has – think supply and demand. The lower the supply, the higher the demand. Stock buybacks and reverse splits are the only way to do that, but the latter makes no sense at this point and the former may not be the best use of shareholder money,

He may have been thinking of a 3:1 reverse split.
As for owning media, Sony tried that. Didn’t work out that well.

The more a stock share value the less dingleberry day traders can lose money on it playing into swings utterly erroneously, and us long term holder making large cash.
