That’s not including the 20:1 split, so his 5 shares became 100 shares… over $12k if he still has them.

No, because he will buy them in 3003 and we don't know what its value will be then.

Probably less than now because MomCorp. has monopolized everything.

True. I guess we don’t even know that it would be the same Amazon. Who knows what it could devolve into given the amount of time. Could just be an entirely new company that shares the same name as some random company from a thousand years ago.

Yeah we do. He had 2¢ left, and was gonna buy 5 shares.
And since the writers are time traveling aliens from an alternate dimension, we know they were facts.
