And, regarding buybacks....the company will have to spend the same amount to raise the value of a stock whether before or after an R/S. If you have a million shares worth 1 dollar each or 1 share worth a million dollars, the company will have to spend the exact SAME amount of money buying back shares to get the exact same rise in PPS.....it's simple math.
It doesn't matter how many shares of a stock you own...what matters is the underlying value of the shares. If the company "gets to the promised land", you will be rich no matter how many R/S or splits took place.
"You forget that there is NO change to the value of the stock when there is a split or an R/S because the PPS changes accordingly"
no I didn't because I clearly pointed out that nothing has changed in the financial situation of the company and the costs continue to mount and therefore the need for continued r/s which dilutes your $$$ value example here...whereas in the non r/s situation once the company receives revenues and does a buyback you are still holding your original shares....
