I made $12,000 this morning.

What the heck is going on?

it's up 3.5%, so that means you own about 350K worth of stock
...that started as 8K in an IRA in the late 90s, back when we were all trying to support Leader.

Sorry, I guess naming a number was uncouth. But I, was, excited.....

You've been handsomely rewarded for your unwavering support.

Back in the day, I couldn't buy Apple stock because I was blinded by my love for their products despite a lukewarm public reception. Now they do through the roof and I'm indifferent.

I'm still doing okay though.

Oh, I bought one share at some point years ago. I've earned a couple of dollars but not much more.

Reminds me; I need to send an exploding alligator package to my financial guy, who talked me out of putting twice what I did into AAPL back at $92/share about 5 years back.

I probably had this guy's father back in 1987 when I wanted to buy MSFT stock in my retirement account, but was told it was "too risky".

My wife worked as an assistant at a hedge fund when I bought Tesla stock. She asked an analyst if he thought it was a good buy. He said it wasn't clear that Tesla had an advantage. The stock is likely wildly overvalued but it was clearly a good buy.

A couple years ago, I had pulled whatever I had in AAPL (and anything else I could spare) and put it all in TSLA. Mind you I didn’t expect to be at this price point so soon, but I knew it would eventually reach it and more.

I'm up just shy of $6k today for AAPL, about $350 for TSLA.

FYI: The 4-for-1 stock split is for every shareholder of record at the close of business on Monday, August 24. Monday will be a BIG day.
