I'll see what I'm looking like Wednesday evening/Thursday morning.
Just put in to sell one of my mutual funds for a little under 4k. Out of the ones I own, its the only one that has lost me money, even tho its only down like 25 bucks. I have other funds, most of which have gotten me over 10% gains. Plus I got $700 pending from getting rid of idex recently. I should sell the 16k shares I have of opti in that account and a dip in the morning might just make me. Gonna use that money to buy some tesla. Should be able to get at least 3 shares with that, maybe 4 if I sell opti. Hopefully Fidelity processes the sale and available funds quick. Gotta see what money I move around to consider getting Apple. I got .85 of a share on M1 so maybe by my next recurring deposit later this week I'll have a full share.

So I need to buy apple stock before August 24th and Tesla stock before August 21st to actually buy those stocks when they split? I've never come across this method before?

But wouldn't it be much cheaper to cop apple after the stock split? what am i missing here?

Are only full shares split, or fractionals also? I don't know shyt 
My understanding is, say a stock is trading at $100/share. You buy today for $100 and get one share. It splits 4 to 1, you will end up with 4 shares for $25 each.
If you wait till after split you would buy 4 shares for $25 each anyway.
But people here believe that the price will be driven up before split as people are buying up news of split, thinking lower price will attract more investors. For example Tesla is up 7% on news of split.
- on a side note, kicking myself for not buying Tesla at $200/share. Might have been able to retire in ten years if people are right about 10k/share prediction by 2030.
yea it would be, but if you buy it before for say 450, you get 450/4 as your cost basis for the shares, and Apple is a long term stock which isn't going to go down. Just my 2 cents
