I only wish I had bought more shares when I had the chance

I don’t own any Apple stock. Why? Because if I did, the stock would immediately tank. Trust me–I have a history. So, in order to save Apple, I resisted buying Apple stock when it was $14. If I had, Apple would surely be out of business by now.
So when you look at your gains from the stock, remember those of us who resisted so that you could make money. A check would be nice…
Peter, I know exactly what you mean. I bought 20 when it was at $50 way back when and the next day it fell to $25 and kept dropping. I vowed then never to jinx it again.

Yeah, thanks you guys for not jinxing the stock. Not excuse me while I wrap myself in goldfoil and fill a beanbag chair with loose diamonds.
common suppy concerns, I sold at 80, want back in at 70, where is the bad press we all know and love.

…and the reason the Eagles lost the Superbowl was because I forgot to pet my lucky 1980 Eagles scarf. Damn that scarf!!!
On the 5th September, Apple had a market cap that was worth 41.3% of Sony’s market cap.
As of close of business today, that figure is now 94.6%.
Want to compare something more interesting?
AAPL was worth around 24.8% of HP’s market cap on 05/09.
Now that figure is 53.5%.
MSFT??: 4.57% on 05/09. 11.40% today.
does anyone here know what price AAPL was trading just before the stock split?
Well, the last 2:1 split was 21/06/00 – so all of the following is the data for 20/06.
Open: 98.50
Close: 101.25
Low: 98.37
High: 103.94
The adjusted close price based on today’s issued share capital was $50.62.
Hope that answers your question.
i bought 2000 at 65, think i’ll get one of those nice powerbooks now, with a 30 in display, and a new ipod, photo, 60 gig. yeah baby.
and, a powermac g5, for the desktop.
Double what it was before the split if it was a 2:1’er.
thanks MCCFR.
As always, hearing news like this is bitter sweet. I kick myself for not buying more at 20 but am glad that at least I am in on it at all.
now i feel like i want to buy some. any advice?
i wish they would do another stock split when they hit 110. this time, i’m gonna buy a boatload of AAPL.
The new addition to the Apple Mac line is the Low^Rider
we’ve all waited for to boost The Apple brand on the
computer side of the family.
Stock price soars & Apple is a legitimate investment at
it’s current price and thought by many to go even
higher. This means higher and more stable profits
when the big money jumps in.
I’d like to call this a business model…a plan of
attack perhaps, but in any case — my background
isn’t fortified with history, only results.
Any good comparisons would be appreciated (email
mntngoat@gis.net).
Cool, cool water… give me some water!
