Turning $37.50 into $900,000.00+ ...
Sunday April 26, 2009
According to the most recent Fortune Magazine, which is dedicated to the annual Fortune 500, "If you'd bought a single share [of Johnson & Johnson] when the company went public in 1944 at its IPO price of $37.50 and had reinvested the dividends, you'd now have a bit over $900,000, a stunning annual return of 17.1%." On top of that, you'd be collecting somewhere around $34,200 per year in cash dividends!
The article goes on to say, "Even if you hadn't reinvested the dividends, that single share would now be 2,500 shares as a result of splits, and you'd be collecting dividends of $4,500 a year from that $37.50 investment. If only Grandpa had bought 100 shares."

It’s true that the fluctuations in the market make for losses as well as gains but if you have a proven strategy and stick with it over the long term you will be a winner!****Warren Buffett: Rule No. 1 - Never lose money.
