Waaay back in the day, largely because I was an Apple fan, I had a large number of shares of AAPL in my retirement account. Working out the splits since, it would have been an outrageous number today. But my confidence faltered in the dark days, and I dumped most of them.
If I had just kept those shares, I wouldn’t be writing this post today - I’d have one of my many personal assistants do it for me.
I kept enough to feel fortunate now, but often think how much better I’d be off if I had just gotten hit on the head and forgotten about them.
I’m still amazed though. A year ago, I told my wife we could think about selling those AAPL shares; it was already a trillion-dollar company, and I couldn’t see it doing much more- what was it going to do, double to $2T?
Yep.
