3 PC Stocks That Turned $10,000 Into Millions
Personal computer companies have at times served as some of the best wealth creators in Wall Street history. These businesses started small, building themselves around a product that they felt would change the world -- and it did.
In the decades since the birth of the PC, most of the companies in that segment have shifted their focus away from those devices. Nonetheless, the visions exhibited by Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Intel (NASDAQ: INTC), and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) not only brought technology to the home user but also made some early small-scale investors millions of dollars.
Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak founded Apple in 1976 in a garage in Los Altos, California. The startup spent the 1970s refining its original PC design before going public in December 1980 at $22 per share. At that IPO price, a $10,000 stake bought 454 shares.
