If you bought and held Union Pacific, you would have made a killing.

Comparing share prices, without allowing for stock splits, is misleading. For instance, there have been 5 Union Pacific stock splits since 1980, resulting in about a 24 fold increase in value on a per share basis (and that's without taking into account the added value of shareholder dividends).

Oops.

I forgot UP had a couple of stock splits over their long prosperous history.

They’ve always been good for dividends.

Mr Lucky,

Thank You for the correction.
