If apple releases a phone it will be huge and the stock will obviously benefit from that.

...

This last week was very tumultuous because of the stock option woes.

If apple releases a good phone, with a great implementation plan, it might help the stock. There are no guarantees with stocks.

The stock options weren't the only driver behind last week, but thats more of an opinion. It was probably a bit of a correction at the very least.
 
I could have saved every penny I found, every dollar I ever earned from birth til age 13 and I bet it wouldnt have been over $100.

Which is why you have cool Chinese grandparents that give you lots of money for Chinese New Years. Besides that I have no clue where all that money came from.

You are fortunate to be getting cash like that from your grandparents and you are making a smart decision by saving it.
 
Wow. That's amazing you invested that much. My parents bought me a share of Apple for Christmas from OneStock.com so I'll be getting an official certificate. Three years ago my parents did the same, but it was Microsoft (pre-Apple days). But luckily, when I was only a few years old (I'm 15 now), my parents took investments in ExxonMobil (was Exxon) for me and my sister. Started with 5 shares and I think $50 each share, now we are each up to about 39 shares which as of the Friday Closing price equals to $2988.57. Hot damn I love my parents. :D :D
 
Hold onto the shares for a decade and forget about day-to-day fluctations. Apple is a company with a bright future.
