<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bannishg, post: 1048021, member: 25474&quot;]I suppose you&#039;re right. Actually any pre-1990 Microsoft stock prices could&#039;ve beat any of these. They opened in March 1986 at 0.10 per share and split 9 times since then. I was born in May 1988, and have the paper from my date of birth. The stock had only split once before then, and the price was 0.39 ps. If you bought a few hundred dollars in stock on the day of my birth, you would easily have over $1M. </p><p><br /></p><p>There is also the story of wal-mart stock, which perhaps out-earned Microsoft&#039;s initial buyers, which opened in 1970. If you bought a few hundred dollars in stock then, you&#039;d have TENS OF MILLIONS TODAY!!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>But stocks are in a league of their own. I just can&#039;t get over the early 50s Morgan dollar prices: The 2/51 offering of an uncirculated 1893-S at $79.50 ($71.55 with the 10% discount), and the Gem Proof 1895-P at $79.00 in 12/50. Just 14 years later both of those coins were around $4,000. They are now hundreds of thousands.</p><p><br /></p><p>Greg B[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
