And speaking of Forrest Gump, if you had followed his advice when the movie came out in 1994, you could have bought shares in the "fruit company" for $1.00, so 1,000 shares would now be 28,000 worth around $12M, and along the way there were some dividends also. I got to the party late, and bought my first batch in Janurary 2010, and am estatic !
