No, the only thing similar to who I work for and google is that fact that we are both startups with similar revenues at the points of maturing.

Next time take a portion off the table, say 50%, and let the rest ride.

It launched at $26 per share, is worth about $190 now, and has been split 2:1 three times. In other words, its worth is 58.5 times greater now: (26/190) x (2x2x2) = 58.5.

A similar investment of $42,500 in 1984 would yield $2,498,250 today.
Bump

Google closed at $1007.95 today. Your 500 shares would now be worth $503,975.

Apple closed at $512.49. Your shares would have been $6,701,792.31.
