Over the last 10 years there have been some tech stocks that have done very well. Many doubling their PPS most years. If you had a stock that was $0.10 10 years ago, it would be $0.20 9 years ago, then $0.40 8 years ago and so on. Today that stock would be worth $25.80. Not too far from your $44 mark so not so ridiculous I suppose.
