I don't know if this is out there, but maybe some of you folks might know.

Ok. say... Goog has 314.45 million shares MSFT microsoft has 9.13 Billion shares.

I want to easily compare each stock, on the same scale, as if they both had 1 billion shares... know of any tool?

to get google to 1 billion shares, we would need to add 3.1801558276355541421529654953093 times the amount of shares, thus decreasing the value by that much.

GOOG would be around $100.75 if they had 1 billion shares.

With MSFT, Id have to decrease the amount of shares, thus INCREASE the price per share by 9.13 as they have 9.13 billion shares. so the 21.18 stock price becomes
$193.3734 per share.

So, by doing this math, it appears that GOOG is a way better value.

Now, does this computation have any merit in the stock market world? I have never seen this before, but its probably around and has a name.

Any Stock Market Gurus out there have any input?
