Fraction selling/buying is pretty new. Even if half of US brokerages have some version, people from outside the US buy on our markets and tend to not have as great of brokerage options.
Excellent insight. Thanks for posting it.

I'm on Robinhood, which allows fractional buying and selling, but I haven't done it yet. I feel like it would bother me owning only a fraction of a share of something.

I think this stuff is way easier in a retirement account. Have a stock that's 100k/share. Sell it. Remove 50k for expenses, then buy something else in the retirement account with the leftover 50k or fractional shares for half the 100k. In a retirement account if your fractionals get liquidated during an account transfer, you just don't have that money in the market for a short period. As soon as it lands at your new brokerage you can repurchase.

Made back today what I lost yesterday and maybe a fraction more. I'm thinking these swings are going to be common place until the election. If in the short term Trump starts looking undefeatable the DOW will hit 30,000..

Sure but enough to move the stock price much?

Anyone only wanting to buy shares because they’re “cheaper” after a split doesn’t have enough capital to move a stock much.

Good observation. Hadn’t thought about that.

The ability to sell a smaller position if you have more shares after a split. I’m with TDAmeritrade and don’t have option for fraction shares.

Stock splits meant A LOT about 25 years ago and before. Individual online trading started in the mid 90s in a big way and changed the industry.


It takes a while for old adages to work their way through the mindset. Kind of like changing engine oil every 3000 miles. That became obsolete in the mid 90s but people still followed that "rule" even into the 2010's.


Anyway, the reason stocks splits were a hot item back in the day is that you had to go through a broker to buy/sell. Most brokers wouldn't even answer your call if you weren't trading 100 shares. Well, if a stock was trading at $50 ($5000 investment) it would be a big chunk to buy. If it suddenly went to $25 that was a great opportunity to get in. People would buy en mass and drive the price up. Hence, a stock split meant there were going to be buyers. Not so much anymore.



It's kind of like when Berkshire bought Burlington Northern. Part of the deal was to make Berkshire shares affordable to their new railroad employees (mostly in their stock matching in retirement funds). They offered a new share of Berkshire at 1/100 (if I remember correctly) to accommodate people that didn't have thousand$ to buy a single share. It initially brought in buyers and drove up the price. It settled down and makes no difference now.

I'm enjoying this mans research and advice

This may be a stock to get in early on.

I love Tesla. I'm up over 400 percent on it. It's my biggest star.

I just bought a tiny amount of CVAC. It's pure gambling, but I figure if the Gates Foundation is behind it, that's going to open a lot of doors.

WTF is a meme company?

Why don't you just buy more Tesla. It's only going higher. Up 8% right now today.

One of my best friend's has the following 3 stocks as his largest holdings, and I mean large!

1. Tesla (Bought at $388) 300 shares down from 400 shares he sold around $1000
2. Square (Bought at $32) 1,500 shares
3. Shopify (Bought at $740) 100 shares

He is a very happy guy right now. He is the best non-pro stock picker I've ever seen. He told me about Chegg at $30 and a few others that have done incredible.
