You bought 500 shares for $500 back in the 80s
A dollar each

So

500 share x $300 (stock price today for rounding sake)
=$150k


NOT QUITE

because the your 500 share split into 3= 1500 shares
Thats 1500 split into 2= 3000 shares
3000 split into 5= 15000 shares
(I forgot how many time apple split)

But your 500=15,000 shares today cuz of the split


15,000 shares x $300(stock price today)

=$4.5 millions

Apple's stock has split four times since the company went public. The stock split on a 7-for-1 basis on June 9, 2014 and split on a 2-for-1 basis on February 28, 2005, June 21, 2000, and June 16, 1987.

You have even more shares

Let me do run the real math

500 x 2= 1000 share
1000x 2=2000 share
2000x2= 4000 shares
4000x7=28,000 shares

28000 shares x $287(stock price today)
= $8 million

If you holding the bag, that is all you will get.

If you constantly buying and selling at the right moment after the pop - commission fees, you will be up more than 8 mil.   O0

No need accounting degree to cheat on the test.   :2funny:

Yeah I do realize the stock has split many times because for a near trillion dollar company, the price of the stock is low.
Also, the dividends are not bad.  I've received $2500 in dividends since I started buying AAPL.

NOPE, never "thinking" of  that but I know hmgLIAR is only using his LOSER LIAR aka making up more LIES with ZERO PROOF...move once he loses.

I do know for a FACT that Apple stocks like many other stocks move up and down so to be so dumb to ignorantly claim it "only goes up" when FACTS say otherwise is just idiotic..

He "bash" others so much that he earned the "biggest troll" label from the other PH members.. :idiot2: ;D

Those of us that are "legit" can easily PROVE and show the FACT that Apple stock values have also moved up and down with "steady climb" and "steep drop" over the years..super simple common knowledge:

Sometimes if a stock is falling and going get delist
They will do reverse split

7 share ($1) each = 1 share ($7)

You trade your 7 share for 1 share

The stock price is $7
Its looks like on the chart, you just pop a cherry
