IIRC the NFL has permitted Packers' stock sales only for the purposes of upgrading Lambeau Field infrastructure and facilities. I believe this offering will be used to modernize the video boards inside Lambeau and make improvements in the concourse.

Best scam around.  $300 a head.  And the wall lickers will line up for the ceremonial piece of paper.

My degree from DeVry University cost $500, so this is a deal.

So is one share now worth two? Asking for a friend.

Essentially, yes. None have any value (worth), so 1 or 100 has the same monetary worth. Of course, if you own enough you could control the Annual Meeting and possibly have a say in the FO.

I spent $200 for a share of Packers stock in 1997. Apple stock was about a dime per share at the end of 1997. I could have had 2000 shares of Apple. Apple split 7 to 1 in 2014 and 4 to 1 in 2020. So, by my calculations, I could have had 56,000 shares of Apple right now worth 150.00/share.

It was a dime adjusted based on stock splits.  The cheapest Apple stock was in 1997 was 13.06 July 2, 1997.

Still, you could have bought 15 shares in July of 1997

Apple splits since then.

2:1 in 6/2000
2:1 in 2/2005
7:1 in 7/2014
4:1 in 8/2020

So yes, your 15 shares at $13 would now be

1680 shares at $150

$200 --> $252,000

Every time Packers stock is discussed, I'm compelled to share my favorite story.
Many years ago, Mrs Timmy! was in a jury pool for a trial. In a nutshell, one guy promised another guy an ownership stake in his company, then developed amnesia when it came time to pay up.
One question being asked of the potential jurors was if anyone had an actual stock share at home. Mrs. Timmy answered in the affirmative, which surprised the lawyers and judge. The judge asked her if she was sure about that, saying that would be very unusual.
She told him yes again, explaining her husband owned stock in the Green Bay Packers, and his share was hanging on the living room wall.
This created a lot of murmuring amongst the jurors and lawyers; she was hearing whispers of "how cool!", "holy cow!", and so forth.
She got picked for the trial.

Very few of you know this, but Henry has a very heavy Yiddish accent.

I'm not judging...I'm just giving you something to use to hear his voice the next time you read one of his posts.
