  The seven shares Denton purchased were originally worth $1,078, or $154 per share. Had he held these seven shares for six decades, he would have wound up with a stake in enough spinoffs to have need of a good tax attorney when he wanted to cash out. Between 1951 and 1984, his seven shares became 84 shares worth roughly $5,500, not counting any reinvested dividends. The 1984 Bell System divestiture gave Denton a stake in seven Baby Bells, which have since been reabsorbed into either AT&T or Verizon. He also holds a stake in Alcatel-Lucent and NCR thanks to the two 1996 spinoffs, as well as a stake in Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA  ) thanks to that company's acquisition of AT&T Broadband, which was spun off in 2002. Through it all, AT&T has kept paying out dividends, as have many of its spinoffs and divested Baby Bells.
