Looks like Tesla shares are about to split Thursday morning, glad I got me some!

Tesla, Inc. (trading symbol: TSLA) has announced a 3-for-1 forward stock split in its shares of common stock, effective before market open on Thursday, August 25, 2022.

You do know that a stock split has zero impact on value, right?

Yes, I realize that but almost always it helps the shareholders because it goes up after the split. I donā€™t know why but it just does. So where my stock is currently around $900 a share and after split it will be $300 there is a good chance for a gain, go figure.

It only goes up because some individual investors aren't bright enough to understand that the price changing is meaningless and they bid up the stock. Irrational exuberance personified.

Which hopefully makes me some money which is why Iā€™m happy to own a small amount of Tesla stock right now.

Tesla defies any rationality. Can't imagine how high the stock will shoot when they declare bankruptcy
This was very true in 2019. You are a few years behind. Tesla now is a money printing machine, raking in more than F or GM.

Most won't care, but you can read the link if you want to be more informed.

That's appear all you can say.
Happens every time when talking with Tesla fanbois
So sorry, I thought you were joking with Gordon Johnson. Be careful who you get financial advice from ;)

While this isn't a financial forum, since this thread went there, I'll just throw this out - the vast majority of investors should invest in a limited number of index funds (or ETFs) and not go anywhere near individual stocks. It's proven to be a long-term winning strategy.

Index Funds

Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund Admiral - VTSAX(or ETF - VTI)
Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund Admiral - VTIAX (or ETF - VXUS)
Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund Admiral - VBTLX (or ETF - BND)
