- I have been wondering for a while now just how many splits IBM has had
- since 1981 (the introduction of the PC).
-
- It is currently trading around $60 (US), which, interestingly enuf, is
- what it was trading at just before the introduction of the PC. However,
- I assume from the above that the actual value of shares held in 1981 is
- now about $240. Is this correct?
-
- I agree that it has never really recovered from the '87 crash.
