ChatGPT says that if you had invested $1000 in each of these stocks at this price in 1998, for a total investment of $11,000, they would be worth a total of about $8000 today. It says that most of these companies were part of the dot com bubble and failed or went to bankrupt within a few years after this.

Where did you find them? If that’s a relative’s It could be worth pulling on the string to see where it goes, you might find an account that has just sat for years.

So did they lose all their money by now? This must mean being tarded is hereditary since OP grandpa was also a defense gambler based on his paper trading.

This is such a cool time capsule.
Late 90s dot-com vibes all over it. Handwritten stock picks, £20k at the top… feels like someone genuinely doing their research before everything went digital.
Imagine tracking these through the bubble and crash 👀 must’ve been a wild ride.
Honestly love seeing stuff like this — proper old school investing.
