I agree 100% that institutional investors do not care much but I would say there are still a fair amount of smaller investors and I'm not certain that having even a small amount of them not invest is a good idea. @Zavi @ TFB:) Yes, I'm with you I think, I would rather Google split although I do tend to think it's not a huge issue either. @Craig – That is the whole question.

GOOG should think about their users and split ;-D Who knows, some people are stupid enough to think it's a good deal at $50 (even if they just split by 10).

My answer: Stock split, I don't see any drawback to what Baidu did... I think that if Google did a stock split and reduced the cost per share, the stock would just go back again because demand can rise and the stock price would increase even more... seems that Google is not in a hurry!! @ Craig, As for me, a small investor like me, I care, I prefer to buy 100 shares of GOOG than "only" 10 shares of GOOG hehehe Stock splits do not create any intrinsic value change, but yeah the benefits are “purely” psychological!!

Because it's not like the institutional traders care if the stocks is $50 or $500. They will trade for more than 1M$ on the stock anyway ;-) I’d say that when you have a stock like Google, you don’t want to split because people are willing to invest more money in such amazing company.
