The rest of the story.

Your friend was on crack. He was having a narcotic dream. MSFT has never traded for $1-2 per share. It just looks like it because of the splits.

And before it went public, VCs were lined up out the door to invest money in Microsoft. The problem was, it was profitable. They were profitable before MS-DOS and before they left New Mexico (when they were making Basic for the Altair). They finally let one VC put money in just to add expertise to help with the IPO. The VC's partners were so happy, they bought him a Ferrari.

But you just made up this little story didn't you? You looked at a chart and said "Wow, MSFT traded for pennies," just like COII. And then made up this little tale to make people think all companies come out of the gutter like COII.

But you see, Bill Gates didn't have a history of defrauding investors. Microsoft turned a profit in a few months. And MSFT never needed a filthy tout like you to recruit suckers.
