you would still have 100 shares, they would just not be worth the same each.for example, the price per share was $2 in 1995 and you bought a 100 for $200. Today, the value is $19.36 today which means you would have a little over $1900s worth of Intel's shares.your count of shares doesnt change, just their value does.

A company can issue shares, which is like slicing the ownership of the company up into thousands or millions of pieces. If you own 10 shares of Apple Corp (10 shares is worth about $1000 US, currently) you've got part ownership of Apple Corp. However, since Apple has several billion shares outstanding, you would only own a very small part of the company. It's up to the company to decide how many shares to sell. Of course the more shares they sell, the less each share is worth.
Around $120,984. 100 original shares would now be 2,400 shares without the dividend reinvestment. One hundred shares at $180 original if you bought in at $1.80 or so.
