RE: "100 shares of QCOM several years ago. When it split his son gave him the extra hundred shares. Due to splits he now has 400" Hi Robert, I found the information below interesting. Regards, Amy J From cnn.com : # 10 U.S. stock market crashes: The Great Depression sets in (1929) Prices on the New York Stock Exchange keep rising -- RCA's shares go from $100 to $400 in 1928, for example -- until, on Oct. 29, 1929, they all fall fast. By 1932, Wall Street stocks are worth only 11 percent of what they had been three years earlier. Many investors are ruined. Salaries, too, plummet. Unemployment skyrockets. The country and much of the world fall into deep economic depression.
