It's all a game. The amount of dollars you have invested doesn't change, the amount of dividends you get doesn't change. All that changes is the $/share, number of shares and dividend/share but they all move linearly and with each other so net zero.

At the start...but if you have 1 share at $2000 changed into 20 shares at $100...and if they all grow again...so your 20 shares become $1000 each....PROFIT?
If based on economics of business instead of morons buying "cheap" shares, if 20@100 become 20@$1000, the 1@$2000 should have become 1@$20000. See BRK.A for stock price without splits.
why?
Yeah the business fundamentals don't change at all ... the only plus to the split for the investor is the likelihood of increased demand for the now cheaper shares, which can indeed drive the share price up.
Yesterday was a disaster coming back up today.

You and I are riding the opposite sides of the mountain. I was up 3% yesterday and down about 2.5% today. Roughly even from when Gary decided to park and wait.
LSPD good and bad days seems reasonably predictable (an up day of 7+% is followed by a similar down day or vice-versa). Not too many multi-day runs in one direction or the other. On days where it moves a little, no obvious pattern for the following day. May start selling half before close on an up day and buying before close the next day.
lost 5% yesterday back up 2% so far today still up 20% since the 22nd of Feb. LSPD move opposite the rest of my portfolio but is so low now it doesn't make much difference
Hey, 0.8 beats minus x.x any day.
Park some of it in a longer term. I still have a big GIC in a flex rate 3 years later.
Still heavy with the banks, hence up yesterday and level so far today.
Still down 15% on my Amazon position despite the 6% left today for the split. My LSPD is now irrelevant and should have bought a nice Omega instead.
Most of my banks are down today. Actually all of them but one is hovering around neutral. All of my picks bought with borrowed money are green (today and since purchase in Dec).Park some of it in a longer term. I still have a big GIC in a flex rate 3 years later.

I lost a fully loaded pickup on that deal.Park some of it in a longer term. I still have a big GIC in a flex rate 3 years later.

It's not lost yet. Lost opportunity cost is locked in but the invested money isn't lost until you sell or they cease operations.
Correct I may sell and take the loss to use the remaining money to try and build back up.

I also can't complain about overall portfolio performance in the last year. Now looking at when to exit.

Do you fall into the Class Action dates for losses > $50K.
My 2 purchases were just outside of the date ranges.
No I tried to catch a falling knife at 90 thinking it would bounce back to 100 or better.
