The shares were part of a company stock grant thing. The other shares that were in my rollover IRA I purchased back in March when microsoft (and other stocks) were trading at insanely low prices. At the time I had my money in Exxon, which for some reason didn't get hit nearly as hard by the March lows. I sold it right about even money and bought the msft back then at around $18 a share or thereabouts. Nice tidy $11 share profit in a few months huh?
The 3 grand grew to this with several lucky (and I do realize they were lucky) trades like that over the past 4 years.
