I use to invest in the stock market from time to time in my early years of life. I had in my possession 500 shares of a Canadian mining stock for a number of years. One day in the mid 80s I got a letter where the Company I invested in was purchased by another mining company and was informed to turn in my 500 shares for 50 shares of the purchasing company. I put my newly received 50 shares in my files and had forgotten about them for over thirty years. A couple days ago I found those 50 shares. WHEEE DOGGGIE I said to myself, I found some REALLL MONEY.

So I get on the internet to look up the value of the stock. You ready for this. This is a real mind bender. The value of each share is $0.02 each. Those fifty shares are worth a whole big dollar. The company is still in business engaged in mining activities. 

Hold onto those shares for another fifty years they may be worth some real money.

True story.
