The stock split should make investors think

Dusseldorf So now Tesla too: The e-car manufacturer is planning a share split – as the third tech giant after its stock market valuation within a short period of time. Google parent Alphabet announced its plans in early February, online retailer Amazon in mid-March.

This is celebrated on the stock exchange, and Tesla shares rose by eight percent on Monday. The message should make you think.

Because these splits are also a means of maintaining the course at the end of a rally at the expense of small investors. The scam works, as a study by Bank of America shows. According to this, 1980 stocks in the US index S&P 500 have increased in value by an average of a quarter in the twelve months after the announcement.

A stock split is always sold as a service to small investors. He should also be able to afford a share and thus have the opportunity to participate in the value growth of the corporations.
