turn $16 into us$ 80,000 over 40 years, page-12

re: turn $16 into us$ 80,000 ... geffa MSFT floated in 1986. A $10,500 investment would have bought you 500 shares. With the 9 shares splits microsoft have had, you now hold 144K shares.

These are now trading at around $25, which comes to $3.6M...

A house bought in the Hills District in 1980 for $80K, is now worth around 650K....

Now why did I buy a house.
