Always the benefit of hindsight. I make it 5x 2-4-1 splits since 1993, so 100 shares then would be worth 3200 shares today, and I think were about $80 each at the time. 700 hours of average paid work ($11/hr) back in 1993 would have bought you 100 Microsoft Shares, which today would be worth $750k, or $1,000 an hour. On the other hand you could have bought 700 hours worth of Blockbuster shares.
