re: What was your very best performing stock of 2013?

HAR

up over 100% from Nov2012 ($37 to $83). I mentioned it on here 6 months or so ago, hopefully some of you listened.

Sprint, Apple for me.

MD......beast stock got in for 300 shares at 72 went to 110 and split.....

You don't think going from 300 shares to 600 on a stock that was trading in the 100s is a big deal?

Take your own advice and learn something.

Anytime I've held a stock that split it added value especially when and If it decides to pay dividends.

People understand that a stock split doesn't actually add value right? Maybe somehow makes it more liquid, but I don't think it adds to your position

It gives the stock a little bump pretty often, but not enough to go wild about. People loves them some stock splits, though.

DDD - Buddy of mine sent me a text about 3d printing about a year ago. I thought, "shite, I'll buy stock in that." Good decision.

Stock splits typically are a good thing, but strictly speaking they do not add value chief. $$ figures on dividends are nominal as well. Look at the div yield instead. Additionally, companies don't decide they'll pay xx$ per share in div. they decide they'll pay lump sum of money to all shareholders and whatever that turns out to mathematically in div/share is what it is. So if you think about it, the split itself doesn't affect the $$ in your pocket at all.

I love splits as well, don't get me wrong, they typically indicate they things are going well and will continue to. But they don't mean an increase in value.

I don't understand where I said it increased value? I said it added value because stocks that split are making big fricking money.

I can't believe I'm getting beat up in this thread over posting my stock and being excited cause it split.
