Financials: Splits, Shorts, and Refinanc...

The Motley Fool
About this episode

Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) are about to split their stocks, and both have been rocketing higher since making their announcements. Is a split really a meaningless numbers game, or does it add actual value for investors? Also, reports are showing that short-selling is at a 15-year low, and host Jason Moser and Fool.com contributor Matt Frankel, CFP discuss what it means for the stock market and investors in general. Finally, the pair discusses an unpopular cost increase set to hit mortgage refinancers, and talk about why Rocket Companies (NYSE: RKT) and Bill.com (NASDAQ: BILL) are on their radar this week.
