2) Maybe, but how much, and when, needs adequate evidence. Would be really cool to see it, finally, but haven't yet. Ever. More importantly, in the face of good demand for a stock, the Boogieman, if he exists, becomes a midget anyway.
this is what google has , I'm sure it is much more involved as a concept but it explains it better to get individual retail buyers on board I guess :
Companies generally split stock in order to attract investors. If a company's share prices have appreciated a great deal, many investors may not be able to afford even a single share. By reducing the price with a split, the company can make its shares easier to buy.
