What u getting at?
Man y’all asses gon be 10 years old again and growing up just how yall is now.
Now everybody gonna be a billionaire. Lmao.
I’m not reading all that. I don’t believe everybody who goes back to 10 years old is gonna end up a millionaire or billionaire.Do you know how many legit opportunities to invest money there were between 1982, when I was 10, and, say, 2000?
Let's say you took $2200 in 1986 and got in early during Microsoft's IPO. You would have picked up about 100 shares if you got in right after the bell before the price shot up.
Let's say you sat on that and did absolutely nothing else. Microsoft's stock has split 9 times since then. That 100 shares you picked up in March of '86 would now be 28,800 shares. You paid $2200 for it way back then. As of today's close it would be worth over $3M. Now imagine if you had the means to have bought 1000 shares instead of 100, you'd be sitting on about $30.3M.
If you had the foresight to have bought IPO of Oracle the next day, you could have picked up 100 shares for ~$1600. Oracle has split 11 times since it's IPO. Right now you would have 32400 shares thanks to several funky 3:2 splits that happened in the 90's. As of today that $1600 investement would be worth a little over $1.5M; 1000 shares would have you sitting at $15.4M in your pocket.
Cisco systems pretty much followed Microsoft in that it's IPO was similarly priced ($22.25/share) and it also split 9 times but you probably would have wanted to cash out on it within a few days after the last split in March of 2000. At that point you would have had the same number of shares as Microsoft with a total value of $2.3M if you sold it after the opening bell on March 27th for $81.44/share.
and there's waaaay more than this. Think of what could have been done if you were able to parlay an investment in the early 90's into a few million and turn that around and invest seed money in companies like Netscape, Red Hat, Yahoo, AskJeeves, Google, Amazon etc and got pre-ipo shares out of the deal. Or even better, one of those ridiculous ass 90's internet companies that managed to make it to IPO like TheGlobe (social media before social media, and I had 3 pages on it), which had it's ipo at $9 a share and saw it trading at nearly $90/share or VA Linux, which is still Nasdaq's single biggest first day IPO gain (opened at $30, peaked at over $320/share and settled in at ~$240/share). Etoys, Pets.com, and many others all came out the gate swinging and died horrible deaths soon after but if you knew to invest in those companies you could have raked in a fortune immediately after IPO.
