If you were surprised by the Apple announcement of a stock spit you are not alone, even more surprising was the what the stock split was, at 7 to 1, that is the first time in 30+ years that a company on NASDAQ has split 7 to 1.

This split puts Apple stock within reach of many who cannot afford the $550+ price, and brings it down to the $80 range. The  7-for-1 stock split would be effective June 9.

We are excited by other great news coming from  Apple.
