If in 1976 you could buy 5000 shares of what is now Microsoft stock, it would be worth the same as 5000 shares of Microsoft that was purchased today - no matter when you bought it, it would be 5000 x today's stock price of Microsoft (you would probably pay more today). You probably want to know how rich you would be today if you had purchased 5000 shares of Microsoft stock in 1976. That would take some research because the shares of Microsoft stock available in 1976 are probably not the same as what is available today (because of splits and other events that could have occurred).
