Hey PH ๐Ÿ‘‹ @shivkanthb and I put together this little project to deal with the ExtremeFOMO we were having over missing out on good investments. Play around with it and let us know what you think. You can query based off of any of the Fortune 500 and some popular tech companies. TL;DR the FOMO is real. Why We Built It: https://medium.com/@jordangonen/... Inspired by @surfcoderepeat 's awesome project: https://www.producthunt.com/post... As always, appreciate the support ๐Ÿ˜€

@shivkanthb @jordangonen @surfcoderepeat I don't think FOMO is very healthy when it comes to investing and don't like that this takes it from "ahah funny bitcoin calculator" to a Robinhood/Coinbase affiliate link.

This is all everyone says. "I wished I had of invested in Apple back in the day. I would be rich. Instead I blew it on booze and drugs."๐Ÿ˜› Great App Dope๐Ÿšฌ๐Ÿšฌ

Love the idea! There seems to be an issue with handling stock-splits such as AAPL 7 for 1 split on June 9, 2014. Reports a loss as opposed to a gain as a result.

This seems off though. How is $1000 invested in NFLX on May 23 2002 ( when it went public) worth $9412.60 today? It's more like $147K. Cool concept though!

@sabrisjourney Hey. So NFLX opened on may 2002 with a stock price of 16.19. So that means your $1000 would be get you approx 61 stocks. Now each stock is priced at 168. So thats 168*61 ( minus the 1000 bucks = profit ) total amount you would have made which matches the answer you got :)

@shivkanthb Looks like your tool isn't factoring in stock splits which make the total incorrect. Netflix had a 7 to 1 stock split on July 15th, 2015. https://ir.netflix.com/calculato...
