I think I bought it at $60/share and it went down to $3 after dot com bust, wiping out Roth IRA. Oh well, that was years ago in my 20's and I'm diversified so really just a lesson (not to buy tech stocks).
Sure, but on average, everything is doing well since the last economic crises. There are dot-com tech stocks that never recovered. I'll only buy funds or dividend paying stocks, though mostly everything is in a 401k (which rode out the crashes quite well).
