27% profits every 20 days?
This is what Nic Chahine averages with his options buys. Not selling covered calls or spreads... BUYING options. Most traders don't even have a winning percentage of 27% buying options. He has an 83% win rate. Here's how he does it.
A stock split's main purpose is to make a company's shares more appealing to potential investors. By raising the number of outstanding shares, it improves a company's liquidity. Stock splits do not change the market value of a corporation; rather, they are a reassignment of share value by increasing the number of shares.
For example, on Monday, the much-anticipated Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock split was completed; shares went from $2,447 on Friday's close to $122 on Monday's open.
Retail investors who had been priced out of the e-commerce behemoth's stock should now be able to purchase full shares and potentially create a trading strategy around it.
A corporation can, on the other hand, reverse split, increasing share value by reducing the number of outstanding shares. A company will normally do this to prevent being delisted from the exchange to which it is assigned or to improve its general image.
Citigroup Inc (NYSE:C) is an example of this: in 2011, during the financial crisis, the business notably executed a 1:10 reverse stock split: shares were valued at $4.52 before the split, and after shares reflected the x10 value of $45.20.
Here are some other notable names that have completed stock splits this year, either by split or reverse split.
