WPP now has the same dollar market cap as it did in 1990... Crazyyyy. Imagine holding on to a stock for 36 years and you got nothing but some piddly dividends (which incidentally take the stock price down by the exact amount of the dividend each time it's paid).

I worked for WPP in 2005-2006, per share was $30-35. Lol!

Wow. My dad bought shares in the late 90s when I worked there. What about the other Hold-co’s?

If you think it's not worth it, you can sell the stock.
