Apple to Live Stream Audio of Tim Cook's Speech at Goldman Sachs Conference Tomorrow

[Peace]

OK- not challenging you, but why? I thought that stock splits were good to encourage trading of your stock as they lower the price per share while maintaining the value, and kind of set a level at which the stock would generally be traded.

I guess what I am trying to say is, right now the stock just tipped over $500. That's a lot of money for a lot of people who want to trade AAPL, but can't buy a lot of shares- psychologically speaking. If they did, say a 4:1 split, that would simply give every stock holder 4x the shares. The price splits by 4 as well, but then the psychology of "wow I can buy AAPL now!" kicks in and the price probably goes up from there a bit... setting a psychological floor for the value of the company...

I don't know, I am actually expecting a stock split now that the $500 mark has been hit.

Just my opinion mind you.

If a stock starts being traded a lot more ( stock split means more people can buy it ) it will cause the stock to go down because the traders will start selling more and more and more.

If you're on the floor and traders start selling a LOT that stock will decline.

Google has been sitting at around $600 for that very same reason.

If there were a phone-manufacturer that did not have shady partners, I would abandon Apple.

Unfortunately, technology and shadiness go hand-in-hand...

Some of you people are just jealous that the folks at Goldman make more money than you.

Looking forward to Mr. Cook's speech.

An obvious example of the lack of political, financial, ethical, moral, and legal education, this one shows. Hrm.

I would like to see Apple develop streaming that doesn't suck. Lately even satellite TV broadcasts have been showing transition artifacts and stutters here in CA. To me streaming should be replaced with store-forward with viewing permissions rather than trying to enforce permissions with a live broadcast.

If you have a crippled pipe, one trick they could use is to insert commercials into the standard locations which are locally played, while background download occurs for the next several minutes of content.

If I could be magical I would even make the default option for live content be 5 minute or so delayed.

Streaming sucks and this country does not believe in allowing commercial entities to go wild west on deployment of pipes.
