Apple split seven for one after its stock suffered a serious fall from the $600 area. Since the split in April, it is up by 30%, to a new high .
Why did Apple split its stock price? How does a stock split differ from a stock dividend?
How might that affect the onwership and stock price performance?
Was it the split or a combination of factors such as product expectations that lifted the stock?
Is Apple in danger of another parabolic rise with a potential fall, or is this the start of something larger than that?
Well these are all good questions and we will address them as class gets under way.
This also demonstrates the importance of being well read on current events. It only costs $1 a week for students to subscribe to the WSJ .
