January 2000 - $60 January 2010 - $30

I did just eyeball it from a few months before. And note, I said 2000...not 2001. And even at the end of 2001, it did nothing for a decade plus.

Stocks split. You can't just look at price. They also pay dividends.

What? Any price history you look at is going to be split-adjusted. And okay, you got a $1 of dividends...you only lost $29/share out of the $60 you invested.
