Three Stocks To Be Held To Infinity and Beyond [view article]
You are aware, aren't you, that the prices you quote are split-adjusted? The true closing price of JNJ on Aug 25,1987 was 104.62. GE closed at 65.87 on Aug 20, 1987 and BAC closed at 28.52 on Aug 25, 1987.So your calculations are a bit off!
For your original $30,000 you could have had 95 shares of JNJ (not 1529) , 150 shares of GE (not 1,821) and 349 shares of BAC (not 1397).

Dividend Analysis: Valspar Corporation [view article]
(Whoops! Make that VAL's 1998 Annual Report!) May 13 01:39 PMDividend Analysis: Valspar Corporation [view article]
Sorry. What I did not realize was that the dividend as shown on the Yahoo! Finance page ($0.0525) was adjusted for the stock split. (The actual dividend that was paid in Mar '98 was $0.105, according to VAL's 1997 Annual Report.) May 13 01:37 PMDividend Analysis: Valspar Corporation [view article]
Where are you getting your numbers?Using Yahoo! Finance, on Dec 31, 1997 the opening/closing price for VAL was 30.96/31.08. So investing $100,000 at that time, one could have bought 3225 shares, not 2768. Also, the dividend that was paid in March 1998 was 5.25/share. So, 2786*5.25 = $146.25. How did you arrive at $337.84?
