The EPS comparisons that I gave you ARE YEAR OVER YEAR comparisons. Not previous quarter. Thats the way Apple presents their financials every conference call. So here they are again:
Quarter ending Dec 2013 14.50 eps vs Dec 2012 - 13.81. Eps grow of 5%
Could it also have to do with accusations of other companies. Have a smaller stock price per share allows for it to be more easily distributed. If they buy Netflix... they can give share holders 4 shares for ever one instead of .5 of share. Just a thought, sorry if its been stated already...

Go talk to a stock broker that understands your position and what you expect to gain from your investment.
Netflix is one stock I personally would stay away from. I just don't like these stocks that trade with outrageously high P/E ratios at their stage of being a publicly traded company. I can't see their business model having drastic profits, they don't make anything, they just rent videos. That's a business I wouldn't get involved with since there are a lot of competitors. They don't have any patents that I'm aware of, they don't make a product that's unique and special. It's a VERY low margin business. I'd personally stay away unless you really know how to play the ups and downs of this stock.

And here is the link, I provide proof unlike you:

Its incredible that the for the past year you had no idea Apple's earnings was actually shrinking.
You talk a big game with your Finance degree but at least I know how to read financial statements.
...and stock prices.
$571.94 ding ding*.
$535 was what he pointed out.
*I think Wall St still rings a bell at close of trade, that is my rather crappy portrayal in text.
Well, do you think they are going to hit $700 a share and STAY at $700 a share?
Well once they hit $1000, negative reports from market manipulators will cause a drop to $700.
On March 19, 2012 AAPL closed at $601. Later that day Apple first announced they were going to initiate dividends and buybacks.
Like clockwork, naive fanbois convinced each other it was a great idea because fewer shares on the market will make the stock price go up.
It didn't happen.
Just 2 years later, April 23, 2014, AAPL closed at $524. Down 14%.
During the same time, AMZN went from $185 to $324. Up 75%.
Now Apple is multiplying available shares.
Why the complete turn around? Apple couldn't fool enough people?
As I have said before, just because a company makes a lot of profit, it doesn't mean their stock will go up.
Hello,
Does anybody know what the dividend amount will approx be after the stock split? Thanks.

I have checked the value line report on Apple and earnings are projected to rise over the next 2 years
