You can't turn back the hands of time, but it would be pretty cool if you could.

Anyone who has paid attention to the news this year has no doubt heard quite a bit about Moderna (NASDAQ:MRNA). The biotech became the center of attention earlier this year with its experimental COVID-19 vaccine based on messenger RNA (mRNA) technology. Its stock has risen tremendously as a result of all of this attention.

Investors who bought Moderna at its initial public offering (IPO) in late 2018 and held the stock have made a fortune. Imagine that you could somehow go back in time and scoop up shares of the biotech stock two years ago. If you'd invested $10,000 in Moderna's IPO, this is how much money you'd have now.

Counting the cash
Moderna announced an IPO price of $23 per share on Dec. 6, 2018. The next day, the company's shares began trading on the Nasdaq stock exchange. Was Moderna's IPO a success? You bet. In fact, it became the biggest biotech IPO in history.

Much more at link. Someone had posted that Kushner has an interest in this stock, so I thought I'd share. Is this profit tied to withholding Pfizer's vax doses? Guessing so.

1. ...And the answer to the OP title is?

and held onto those shares, as of Dec. 21, 2020, you'd have more than $63,000.

Had to click on the link to find how much it would be.

6. I know, that was kind of annoying.

I didn't get much sleep last night, so I am not in the best mood today.

4. And if you bought Sensormatic at $4/share you could have sold it 2 weeks later at $28/share.

You could find many stocks like that over the years.

5. True, but this holds the potential to 3xplain Fed withholding Pfizer vax in favor of Moderna's vax

And likely other crimes against humanity!

I saw an article a few days ago stating profits to Moderna will be in the neighborhood of $265 billion. I think it was Motley Fool, but can no longer locate article.

Speaks volumes about delayed Pfizer vax roll out!

7. Forget the IPO

I thought about investing in February when they first developed the vaccine. I would have 6x my money in less than a year.
