You can't just look at the stock price. INTC has split and had dividends since 1998.

If you bought $10,000 of INTC in Sept 19th, 1998 and held it to today the stock would be worth $17,000 and you would've collected almost $12,000 in dividends.

Is there any site that shows historical stock graphs with an option to include dividend reinvestment and adjust for inflation? Practically every online conversation about stock returns makes these mistakes.

Koyfin and yCharts do that. You're looking for "total return".

That's just over a 4% annualized return, if we back out inflation it's about 1.5%.

That's still crap. The only way you'd be in decent shape is if you took the dividends and invested those in any of INTC's competitors.

Just imagine if you'd invested that money in Domino's Pizza instead (the hungry investor strategy). You'd have like $350,000.
