CAFG is trolling, obviously.

And nice steak dinners are still 5 dollars.

The same things have been on the dollar menu for the last 8 years. The PlayStation 1-3 all cost $300 when they first came out.

I can only say 'lucky'.

Oh. Okay then. >.>

My ex's dad said "back when I was a kid, you'd get a gallon of gas for a dime. Why can't we have a gallon of gas for a dime now?"

When you guys mentioned Google I thought you were talking about when they made their IPO, which is why I said it was low risk.

We were, only Cardinal thought we were talking about when they first started. But you couldn't just buy stock on the stock market when they first started, because they were a private startup bank rolled by venture capitalists.

That's true of ALL COMPANIES until the IPO. You really felt the need to restate it?


In that case I guess my teacher was sheltered.

I know it's true of all companies. I'm not the one who assumed we were talking about a startup in a garage.

To be fair, Cardinal was partially right. Whether or not Google had made a name for itself, at the time the average investor probably did see them as a start up out of someone's garage.
