Yes, I did that in May 2012 :)
By May 2013 I had closed almost all my Apple calls and LEAPs and was well on my way to the current 30 position dividend growth stock portfolio (DGR) - and I have written about that multiple times here and on other Apple and non-Apple venues.
In another week I will be fully retired. Between pensions, SS and dividend income we will have enough to enjoy the next 20-30 years of life if we stay healthy. Apple's gains, particularly from 2009 through the early days of 2013 made early retirement possible, and I consider myself very fortunate. In some ways, I feel like I am the man who robbed the bank at Monte Carlo.
Thanks for the memories ;)
Fellow wrote a blog on his process recently. Mine mirrors his pretty well, if anyone is interested.
Our Apple position is about 5% of our portfolio, so it is a bit overweight, but after the next two rollovers into our IRA, it will become a bit under 3%. As long as it continues to have good dividend growth, it will stay there, but with its low dividend the dividend growth will need to above or near 10% a year for some years. |
