Lee,
The profits that Conrail turned back to the stockholders were
phenominal. 485
million for the year by 1988 If U bought 10 shares at initial
offering
(13.20), You paid 132.00 when it split 2 for 1 @ 99.00 per share...
your
stock
was worth 1980.00. when the stock was recalled in 1998 Conrail
paid
115.00
per share...your stock was worth 2,300.00 or about a 200 percent
gain!
My
friend at work who worked for Conrail sold his stock (from profit
sharing
and
built a house!) ED
