Well, I'm done with my homework for the day, and wanted to end off with a couple of tidbits for you (and anyone else who is interested). In 1956, Standard Oil (SOH) earned 2.68 and paid a dividend of 1.19. Range was 27-29. In 1957, Curtis Wright (CW) had a top at 50 bucks. It earned 4.98 and paid a 3.00 dividend. One year later it was 22. Also in 1957, Chrysler traded at around 19 bucks. It earned 3.44 and paid a 1.00 dividend. In 1964 Burlington Industries (BUR) traded around 45 bucks after running hard from 20 bucks in 1962. In 1964, after it ran up, the company earned 4.15 and paid a buck and a half dividend. Also in 1964, GM was trading at around 80, close to a top. It earned 6.05 and paid a dividend of 4.45 a share. In 1949, Sunshine Biscuit (SUS) earned 7.67 and paid a dividend of 3.75 (almost 10% dividend!). The stock's range was 38-50. Too bad they didn't have Internet sites, eh?
