I had a little over 1,000 shares of MS back in 1989. That was back when it was splitting 2-3 times a year. I wish I could have kept it. I had to sell it because of a divorce and never recouped enough to get back in it. I'm pretty sure I'd be a multimillionaire by now. Ticks me off every time I think about it. But the X had to pay half the capital gains at the time that she didn't see coming.

While "Wall Street" can have a major influence on stock prices, ultimately, it's the investor that tows the line. I suspect you'll see a major sell-off if it gets too high. WS is just baiting the hook.

Yep the sweet spot to sell ms would of been jan 2000 high was like 61.00 closed at 58. if you could find a sucker

I hardly take notice of the daily ups and downs of the s.m. it's so manipulated,
The fed has been feeding the s.m. it like cattle,
No end in sight anything to keep it a float,
Cheers.

Way back, when it got around 60+ MS would issue a 2-for-1 split to bring it back down into the 30s. And that happened 2-3 times a year. That went on for many years. If you bought 100 shares back in 87, it would be something like 2-3 million shares today. Break-out your calculator. :)
