    The generally accepted theory around investment groups is that higher prices keep speculators away and only attracts long term investors - and amzn likes it that way

    Stock price is the new means of Valley dick-measuring.

    They don’t give a shit about being affordable, and clearly they don’t want to be part of an index.

      Which I don't get. We give shares in AMZN to warehouse workers and at the current price that gets pretty awkward. It would be a lot easier if we did a 10 to 1 split, then we could award shares in better proportion to those working in the 30k TC range.

    There's zero benefits to splitting a stock and tons of transaction costs. Meanwhile, several brokers offer fractional share options, though if you are investing less than $2000, commissions and fees start to eat your returns.
