Selected Stock Prices Then and Now

Here's how some stocks did on October, 29, 1929 - and how they're doing today. This chart merely reflects the price of a single share then and now; it does not take into account stock splits and other factors that affect prices. In other words, it's just for fun. But to put things in perspective: Taking inflation into account, one 1929 dollar is worth about ten 2004 dollars!
