It just does dude. Look it up. You can have all the money in the world but less money is still less money. 
  
 Edit: I guess I've read that on the announcement of a dividend hike the price can drop. apple probably announced it months ago so you could be right. Also I now just read your link. Thanks for the DD, I learned something new 👍

### REPLY:
The price of a stock falls by the amount of the dividend on the ex-dividend date.
