Neal - Most investors never get the opportunity to get in at the so called "ground floor" and be a part of a "10 bagger." Especially in a company that was so well established as Apple. To get those kinds of returns you usually have to invest in a startup that you're never really sure will be around 12 months later. In 1990 I had 3,000 shares of a little computer company that started from a dorm room in Austin Texas. I believe it was called Dell Computer. I know it would have taken a lot for me to hold those shares until today but it would have turned into 288,000 shares by March 1999...YIKES. It only took Dell 8 years to reach its all-time high stock price of about $60 split adjusted and split 7 times within those 8 years. But the point is I haven't been bashing Dell Computer on public forums for the past 15 years because I sold too early. I missed a life changing opportunity but life goes on. Learn from your mistakes but don't try and bring your misery upon the rest of the world because of it.
