Jun 5, 2018 at 14:02 comment added Blade Wraith @MichaelKjörling, which is why i gave very low estimates on stock payouts to give only a baseline from which to start and stated it was all down to the research before you went back. if you've enough time to try and source old bills, then you've enough time to research a companies stock history
Jun 5, 2018 at 11:43 comment added user Stock splits don't help with dividends either. The company will make the same amount of profit whether it's legally divided into 10 stock or 10,000,000,000. Dividends are typically paid from company profits, so what matters is how much profit the company makes, not how many stocks it is split up into.

Jun 5, 2018 at 6:52 comment added Blade Wraith @SoftwareJedi, my figures were for the potential dividend payout over 50 years, not value of stock. i'm aware that splits are designed to keep a companies stock within a reasonable trading range, thats why i just did the maths on potential divivdends
Jun 4, 2018 at 15:10 comment added Tangurena Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) stock was around 290 in March 1980 and is 290,000 in June 2018. The IPO was for 19 in 1964.
Jun 4, 2018 at 14:57 comment added TheSoftwareJedi When stocks split, their value halves (but your # holdings double). They split to keep the price of a share low enough to be easily purchased. Bringing up stock splits here really is out of context - what you really mean is that the value of your investment will go way up.
