Yea, Microsoft is a really bad stock to be in for the last 10 years. Pretty much the only money you would have made is the ~$6.50 in dividends over 8 years that they have provided us.

Except for the share split in 2003...

I notice you've now written this twice, yet skipped my post where I highlight the OP's quote in which it says "adjusted for all splits, dividens, etc"

Cause, OP is either lying or wrong. Use google or yahoo finance...

2001 microsoft stock = $27 per share

2003 2:1 share split

2011 microsoft stock = $28 per share

How is this equal when "adjusted"?

Those sites are adjusted for splits, which means that the prices you were looking at pre-split were actually 54$, not 27.

No the price was 48.30 before the split

February 14, 2003
2 for 1
$48.30 (Feb 14)
$24.96 (Feb 18)

I was just referring to disolitudes figures. All I'm trying to tell him is that when a stock splits, it's half the price, not the same.
