When I got back from my mission in 2004 I got a job at the BYU bookstore computer department. I thought we'd be selling desktops and laptops all day, but instead we were busiest selling these things call "ipods" which I had never heard about, being out of the country the last two years. We'd sell them like hot cakes all day long, $250-$400 music players to poor college students. I couldn't believe it. Anyways, after about a week of working there I called my dad and begged him to buy Apple stock, I told him it was the next big thing.

I guess I wasn't very convincing, because he didn't do it, but he asked me to look up how much he would have made. So if Apple traded for $2.00 a share back then and my dad had sold in November 2018 for $200, that's 100x his money. That's math that even I could do, but Apple had a 2 for 1 stock split in 2005 and a 7 for 1 split in 2014. Does that mean his stock would have been worth 1400 times what he would have paid for back in 2004?
