Have MS's stock really stayed the same for the last 10 years or did he "forget" to mention that they have been divided a few times since then?

I think they did take into account the splits, it's on the first paragaph of the "If you invested..." part.

MS is doing fine, but they are indeed a mammoth in a market that prefers flexibility.

He is either wrong or purposely missinformed as a 2:1 microsoft stock split happened in 2003.

Google is also fairly flat since their big rise in 2006 and Intel stock is actually down from ~$35 in 2001 to $20s today with no splits.

So basically this is a biased article?

I don't think he read, "Eleven years ago nearly to the day, the software giant's stock closed at $27.43 -- adjusted for all of the splits, dividends, and distributions along the way. The stock is trading just shy of that mark right now, making it the poster child for what some investors are calling "the lost decade.""
