Anyone jumping on the 20 to 1 Google split?

[Overnight]

Its actually pretty smart. People want the feel of holding a lot of shares. I'd rather say I own 20 shares of Google then just 1. Plus, many brokerages dont do fractional shares, so someone may have to wait a couple thousand dollars more just to buy 1 extra share. With that I'd rather just buy more shares of another solid tech company.

I'd rather be able to say I own one share of BRK.A than 20 shares of Alphabet.

It is all relative.

Those are 2 different stocks. My example used the same stock.

If GOOG gaps down this morning to the 2850-2870 area it's probably a good buy.

GOOG never got there it's going to run. AMZN might be a decent gamble here if you are willing to hold well past earnings.

GOOG got to the entry price range end of day but I was busy managing my energy plays.

I've got no experience gagging a falling market. After today it seems clear that we haven't hit bottom and I have no sense for when that might be.
I got in and out of GOOG yesterday with barely a burn. Just glad I didn't hang in there.
