Had you just put all your money into COKE (KO) == not the kind you push up your nose.... just FIVE YEARS AGO -- you'd have a 63% return... so you'd have around 30 grand now -- and that's if you'd have just done this 5 lousy years ago.

17 years ago - KO traded at $20 a share - and it split two for 1 in 1996... so you'd have TWICE as many shares and it's now trading at $60

So 18 grand (900 shares) - 17 years ago you would now own 1800 shares of KO worth $108,000
