Charles, Back in 1973, IBM was trading over $440 per share. 1/23/73 Close $22.21 split adjusted to today. 5/29/73 5:4 split 6/1/79 4:1 split 5/28/97 2:1 split 5/27/99 2:1 split $444.20 per share.... I remember, it took what seemed forever to buy a share in the employee stock plan. Ben A.

Sorry for the delay in reply...have been away from home a bunch, working on Y2K projects & a fall fishing trip. Haven't checked the SI board in many weeks... Somewhere around here, in all this mess, I have payroll confirmations of purchases of IBM stock through the IBM Employees Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) reaching back to 1964. Now, I will be the first to tell you that my memory isn't what it used to be (nor anything else, for that matter), but I can remember getting stock in the $300's quite well, way back when. And, for some reason, the $360 figure is fixed quite prominently in memory. It may well be faulty...and probably is. I am seldom correct, just ask my wife. After all, I AM a certified "Olde Pharte", having received a certificate in recognition of that from my daughter on the occasion of my birthday in September... Best regards. Good luck to us all in the market! Ray
