You compared the low with the current price. Pick a random stock and pick its lowest point and compare with now - many/most handily beat the S&P 500. Think AMD at $4.
The proper comparison is to pick two random points 10-15 years apart. Don't cherry pick.
- ac29 2y ago> 7x, not 10x 5624/677 = 8.3x Yes, I rounded up, and yes I picked a low to make a point. But go ahead and pick a random point 10-15 years ago if you'd like and compare it to today and the returns are still very large.
- BeetleB 2y agoWhere are you getting the 677 number? The min I'm seeing is 735.
