When the iPhone was announced, Nokia stock was around 20.
The thought at the time was that, of course, expert phone maker Nokia could build on this smartphone idea and do well.

Their stock rose until it hit the wall at just under 40 on 11/2/2007, then crashed. By March 2010 it was barely 15; today it is 7.7
