Amazon shareholders approve 20:1 stock split, vote down record 15 proposals at annual meeting - GeekWire

Today as Panzer was tootling around in the Catosphere, the Panzermobile was suddenly shaken by clapping and cheering coming from outside. Following all the jocularity, took our brave kitty to the GeekWire site. There he found a post about Amazon's shareholders' meeting. Even though the meeting had nothing to do with publishing or books, Panzer's curiosity got him interested.

According to the post by Todd Bishop, Amazon's shareholders' meeting on Wednesday had several things for shareholders to vote on. One of them was important for those looking to purchase stock in the company. The shareholders voted to allow a 20:1 stock split. By getting 20 shares for each 1 a shareholder now owns, the split will lower the price per each new share. This will make it more affordable to buy the shares.
  Nothing is worth more than kibble.
Panzer says, "A 20:1 split? How much cat kibble would this little kitty be willing to give up to get one share? Hmm ... No doubt about it. ... None. ... Cat kibble is worth more than the piece of paper the share is printed on."
