you aren't answering the question if you actually re-read

Oh i think i get it now. Answer is no, you don't need to "qualify" for the split or settle it by record date.

Doesn't matter who Tesla issues the +4 shares to. The purpose of the issuance is to just equal the number of outstanding shares in the market, post-split, 5:1.

There are 3 dates involved.

21 Aug - record date, not important. Tesla will just issue 4 extra shares in form of dividends to every shareholder, but is only "active" after market closes on 28 Aug.

28 Aug - split date. The +4 shares "activated". So total number of Tesla shares multiply by 5. Dollar value per share divide by 5.

31 Aug - TSLA shares trade on post-split prices.

So you only need to care if you have Tesla positions (long/short/options) in your account on split date, it's split by default 5:1.

Hope my explanation makes sense.

So does it actually make sense to buy the stock now or after 21 Aug (where it'll adjust for the split, or will it only 'adjust' after 28 Aug?)

Don't feed this troll. :s13:

By focusing on others, you are on the path of improvement. However, it cannot be more evident that your performance since the last few years is still mediocre, at the best case scenario.

I look forward to you providing “advice” and seeking tips till the next market cycle. You’re one of the best.

For those buying Tesla stock tonight, what will happen? Since you won’t be eligible for the splits?

Don't worry about not knowing the companies. 2 scenarios, I'm wrong, or I'm right.
If I'm wrong, and Tesla becomes much stronger in time to come, current positions will be liquidated in time to come.
If I'm right, and they do turn out to continue being stronger than Tesla, you'd know about them.
Did anyone buy an EV stock (not penny stock) that is up in excess of 30% (as of time of post) today?
