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.
