RE: Old Posts.

Right, although I think there were some issues about this not working for some browsers. You can also get there from #subject-595-Range-0 .

Another thing that you can't forget while reading older posts is that they are pre-split prices. You have to divide to get the equivalent price from today. For simple reference, here's the divisors for the various date ranges:

Before 11/23/94: 15
11/23/94 - 1/31/96: 12
2/1/96 - 5/20/96: 4
5/21/96 - 12/22/97: 2

Reading message #1 in the thread (#reply-4239), the cost basis of $23 and the sale price of $30 sounds high, but it's equivalent to $2 and $2.50. (I wonder if that guy is kicking himself for selling at $2.50?)

It's fun to read through those old messages and see the thinking back then. It's amazing how close they were on some things and how off-base they were on others (bulls and bears alike).
