My point was that they DON'T benefit. (facetious, like when you said you would be angry).
In fact, there are administrative costs associated with splitting shares and making required communications with a larger number of shareholders. The demand driven stock price increase from a number of $80 investors would not pay for these costs.
There are people who bought contract free phones C$ 817. The difference is huge. I myself bought 3 for my family. Wondering how many people have bought contract free. will be good to know the stats.
Apple is one of the most volatile stocks, and it's stock value goes up and down based upon rumor and reports, regardless of their veracity. The market leaders just this year, admitted to planting stories that would push stock prices up or down.
It's a great way to make big bucks in quite short term. If RBC has a position in AAPL, and wants sell off some of AAPL stock for a healthy profit, what better way than to talk it up at the same time your selling the same. The stock gained over 20 points this week, 12 points just today (Friday), starting at about $195 on Monday morning, and ending at $215 at closing Friday -- a 10% gain in just one week.
Without doing anything productive for the economy, the financiers and margin players made big bucks on AAPL. Say, a meager $1,000,000 investment on Monday would yield a profit of $100,000 by Friday. Pity the sucker who bought AAPL at $215.
Talk it down next week, and buy it cheap, wait another week, talk it up and sell at a high again.
Yeh. Long term past, Apple has done well both in terms of stock price, but most importantly, has executed their vision with unsurpassed perfection. Short term, Apple's stock has risen more than likely justified. That the bubble is out of housing, the new bubble is inflating stock and gold prices.
The most honest and accurate understanding of the US Economy comes from the Onion whose sarcasm seems so much more accurate than Forbes and the WSJ. July 2008, they wrote.
"A panel of top business leaders testified before Congress about the worsening recession Monday, demanding the government provide Americans with a new irresponsible and largely illusory economic bubble in which to invest.
"What America needs right now is not more talk and long-term strategy, but a concrete way to create more imaginary wealth in the very immediate future," said Thomas Jenkins, CFO of the Boston-area Jenkins Financial Group, a bubble-based investment firm. "We are in a crisis, and that crisis demands an unviable short-term solution."

Dang. If only Apple listed to this logic from the start and never split. What were they thinking?

It's all a conspiracy then? Who'd have known that these analysts were engaging in such blatantly illegal behavior on a daily basis?

Yes, as the OP stated: "It's a great way to make big bucks in quite short term." Proves the old adage that criminals are really stupid. Anyone dumb enough to think that's a good idea would be a very easy criminal to catch indeed.

Nice - for most people though the important part of that chart is off the screen to the right.
