  1. Profit taking? Sure, that’s the way it works.

    Sell high, reinvest on a temporary low.

    Result: happiness.

  2. If I may be allowed to gloat.
    I bought it at $15 a share…and I’m not selling any until it gets to $150 a share. Then I’m going to buy the city of Cupertino and rename it Jobsville

  3. “for comparison MSFT is down about 12% from same time (Nov/00 to present)”

    Take a longer term view, Microsoft is up about 30,000% since the mid 80’s

    Apple is only up 3,000%

    No-body’s going to complain about either gain, but clearly Microsoft’s comprehensively beaten Apple as an investment over the long term.

    Very interesting peice of history. I remember the Cube suffering from cracks due to heat and being over priced and not upgradeable. It looked pretty awseome then and still does now. Then the iPod came and changed everything.

  6. AAPL has risen whilst Steve Jobs has been in charge and since he cleared away the remaining baggage from the dark times. MSFT has declined since Bill Gates ‘left’, it’s not a true comparison but there’s a point there somewhere.

    It’s not quite fair to count the years when Steve wasn’t at Apple, he is the man!

  7. Achh – if I had invested the 40K in cash I had laying around in 1995, then the Apple stock would have netted me 1M. Still I’m pleased with the >40% increase in the last year and a half.

    I see no reason to sell.

    AAPL will go up and down regularly. Look for the brokers to cash in soon and drive the price back to 100. But 100 is the new low and back up the stock will go.

  8. “I reckon the new Apple dawn started with OSX Tiger. Since then Apple is up 200%.”

    As a unix geek, as soon as I heard about OS X being based on BSD unix about 2003 I could see the handwriting on the wall. I invested all my spare cash in AAPL at $7.50. It’s gone up about 1400% since then. I’ve paid for college and cars, and other toys, and I still have 10 times my original stake.

  9. Word of advice to all the proud AAPL stockholders: keep it to yourself. Especially the few knuckleheads who keep claiming to have made a killing every time MDN mentions that AAPL closed at an all-time high. Gloating is not an enviable trait. I have a neighbor who can’t help but point out how well she’s doing all the time (to everyone in the neighborhood). I usually just smile and say “that’s great, good for you”.

    It’s tough to do guys, but keep your winnings to yourself. Dare I add it’s a sign of maturity.
