Here's a little calculation I made while eating supper tonight. I put the 7 year results in to see if you could buy and forget about it for 7 years and be semi-wealthy. Notice that the year the stock got cut in half is included in all 7 year computations. hpeace posted why the stock crashed so bad then, maybe someone remembers or he can tell us again. Anyway, the outlook is good. If anyone discovers any errors I'm sure they will let us know.
