Bruce, <<if SI's charts allowed one to go back to the maximum time frame, Cisco, Microsoft and Intel go up to 40,000+ for the two former and 6,000+ for the latter.>> Actually, they do. If you manually edit the URL you can enter any time frame you want. The pull-down menus limit your choices, but what I usually do is select the one that most closely approximates what I want to see and then edit the resulting URL. Try this: siliconinvestor.com the link you posted (http://www.siliconinvestor.com/research/comp_chart.gsp?cs=MSFT&csi=COMPX&cs=CSCO&cs=INTC&cs=QCOM&cs=&cs=&cs=&n=100&p=month) ends with &n=100&p=month. By placing your cursor in the address window of the browser, you can scroll to the end of the URL and replace &n=100&p=month with &n=300&p=month resulting in the URL I listed above. When you generate the 300 month chart (actually 25 years is longer than we need since INTC did not go public until 1978) you see that CSCO has returned approximately 110,000%, INTC 95,000%, MSFT 47,000%, and QCOM 5,700%. I think this illustrates the point that LindyBill was making to me about dwarfing all other returns. Happy charting, Greg
