AMZN (Amazon.com) Hit $200 One Year Ago Today

I get a daily email message from Timehop Abe having the subject-line... "Year ago Gerald's day on May 2, 2011"

One year ago today I tweeted the following.

Amazon.com (AMZN) closed on its first day of trading on 01997.05.16 at an adjusted price of $1.73 ($20.75 prior to 2:1 split on 01998.06.02; 3:1 split on 01999.01.05; 2:1 split on 01999.09.02). 5099 days later (i.e. 13 years, 11 months, 16 days) AMZN hit $200 and I captured the moment using Google Finance.

Right now (9:00am MST on 02012.05.02) AMZN is at $230.06. AMZN is up ~13,198.3% in the span of ~15 years.
