I love these type of articles. They look back over the history of companies and dig into significant times in the company's growth. Because of Microsoft Windows celebrating 25 years yesterday, November 10th, Time.com has provided a look back at the top 10 Microsoft moments. Here's a link to the very insightful article.
Because of all the stock splits, the adjusted stock price when the company went public on March 13th, 1986 was only $0.0955. Based on today's stock price of $20.84 that is a 21,722% increase! That's even with the stock down over 60% from it's all-time high in December of 1999. No wonder Bill Gates is one of the richest men in the world!
Until next time,
