大家都知道美國最大的問題之一便是貧富差距大, 學校品質不一, 學生素質參差不齊。貧民區的慘況尤其讓人乍舌。
馬里蘭州巴爾的摩市一所高中有學生四年內只通過三門課, 其他所有課都被當掉, GPA 0.13 (平均成績20 分不到), 缺席 272 天。神奇的是, 這名學生的全年級排名幾乎擠進前 50%, 表示一堆同學比他的表現還糟糕。然而學生並沒有被留級, 畢業前夕才被告知必須從九年級開始重讀, 原本一直不知情的家長大崩潰, 控訴學校沒有好好教孩子.........
可以想見這樣的學生永遠無法畢業, 即使畢業也缺乏基本工作技能和正向工作態度, 所以美國會有居高不下的犯罪問題。家庭, 學校與社會的集體失敗。

[成長股新聞: Under Armour (UA)]
(對於股票發行知識有限. 還請高手讀者幫忙補遺)
相信不少UA投資人上週五看到股價時可能冒了一下冷汗, 以為UA股價大跳水. 其實這是因為stock split的關係. 這表示, 原來UA投資人若有100張股票, stock split之後, 變成擁有200張---多了100張Class C的紅利股票.
股票代號"UA"是所謂的Class A股票. Class A的股票所有人是可以有投票權的. UA這次發行了新的Classic C的股票給現在擁有Class A 與 Class B 股票的UA投資人--Class C股東是不能投票的, 但Class A與B股東是可以投票的. 新的Class C股票代號是UA.C(可以買賣).
"The Class C stock will be issued through a stock dividend on a one-for-one basis to all existing holders of Under Armour's Class A and Class B common stock, which will have the same effect as a two-for-one stock split."
通常來說, 公司做split, 主要的原因之一, 是讓股價看起來比較便宜, 讓更多的投資人願意買進. 但是其實股票分割後, ROE不變, PE不變, market cap也不會變. 至於這次UA發行新的Class C股票真正目的為何, 待我有時間再好好查証了.
關於讀者的問題: 分割股價，撥了同樣股數至UAC (UA classC)，但classA和classC後續是否會有不同的各自股價？YES 股價會有不同.
這邊轉述兩位股友的話(感謝!):
通常有這樣決定的公司，一是要獨攬大權控制公司，一是恐怕街外人不懂公司內在的核心價值，偏離本身發展方向. 不是為錢，是要dilute街外人控制的能力. 這種分割，並沒有向原股東要錢，所以沒有資金的問題.
