Microsoft's annual gains... Here's the price Microsoft closed at on the first Friday of January. 90 1.1169 91 2.0831 92 4.7188 93 5.4453 94 5.3281 95 7.5781 96 10.7969 97 21.1563 98 32.7813 99 69.3438 You can do the math if you want, but to me, 98 was a good year. So was 91. I didn't record the prices before 1990, but from memory, Microsoft didn't hit high gear until Windows 3.0 released (May 90) and Office caught on some time later. In fact, it was molasses money in the 1980's. (But it still outperformed my other stocks!) Hope this helps, Fred. . . . Disclaimer: I don't type too well. I copied these numbers from paper to computer, to paper, to this post. Prices rounded down to nearest eighth when originally recorded. If market closed Friday, Thursday price used. Plenty of places for errors to creep in.
