Also from Apple PR:

The Board of Directors has also announced a seven-for-one stock split.  Each Apple shareholder of record at the close of business on June 2, 2014 will receive six additional shares for every share held on the record date, and trading will begin on a split-adjusted basis on June 9, 2014. 

Does that mean I could finally buy 10 Apple Stocks instead of none?
