And after that, loose and lose.

(I'm glad someone else mentioned "of" instead of "have". I was going to do it, but decided I didn't want the phrase "grammar Nazi" attached to my name.)

Let's not forget "I'm going to try and do that" instead of "I'm going to try TO do that".

Thanks, I got a check in the mail yesterday. Weird because I have my preferences set up to direct deposit, I've contacted my brokerage firm about it.

How much did you receive?

How much did you receive?

The dividend paid was $2.65 per share of stock.

And to answer your next question, this amount will be paid every quarter ($2.65 x 4 = $10.60 per year).

Next to nothing. I'm still mad at my broker for talking me out of buying more. I had more shares outside of my 401K but used them to pay for my kids' college. Apple has been a good investment.

WHAT

If you bought 400 shares at $1 you should have something like
umm
400 shares x $667 profit per share
$266,800
correct?

**** i messed the **** up... what's the net profit you made out of Apple?

I'm mad at myself for procrastinating my buy-in -- AAPL was around 190 when I made a note to myself to do it, but by the time I jumped through the self-directed hoops with my 401k and was able to buy it was up to 263. Only 128 shares at 263 and 270, plus some others at higher prices. I was a bit hesitant to throw a larger fraction of my 401k at a single stock initially but it just kept getting better and better so I kept going back. I entered a limit order today to sell at 700 -- fingers cross that it goes there tomorrow or Friday. At 700 I will have profited nearly $75k since diving in 5/2010 -- now I need to find something less volatile yet performant to roll that $ into.

Thanks to various factors including MSFT and being in a @$!!@# community property state I will never be able to retire. My 401k is my autistic son's future.
