Regarding Paying Too Much for WGL

[CorruptedLushDr]

Did the people who bought shares of WGL for $5.78/share on September 27, 1972 pay too much?  Did those who paid $6.81 in 1982?  How about those that paid $19.25 in 1992?  Maybe those that paid $23.29 in 2002?  Possibly those that paid $40.42 in 2012? $84.48 September 27, 2017?

How bout those idiots who have been collecting all those chintzy dividends since 1972? (I have included the entire history since 1972 below)

This is a long term play.  ALA paid a premium today for what will be a discount sometime in the future.

Cheers
