What if you bought Apple Stock in 2003

I looked up an old blog I read last year.. It talks about how much we would've came up if we invested that $300 in Apple stock instead of that iPod. What's even more interesting is that back in 2010, Apple stock was (give or take) a $100 bucks less per share than it is now..

Shoulda woulda coulda :]

Imagine if you bought Apple stock when they first went public!



Nobody knows what will happen next. Only predictions can come, and half the time they're wrong. That's why it's called an investment: it could go either way. You could come up strong, or lose out big time.

Just like in "Forrest Gump:"

[Forrest Gump referring to Apple Computer]
Forrest Gump: Lieutenant Dan got me invested in some kind of fruit company. So then I got a call from him, saying we don't have to worry about money no more. And I said, that's good! One less thing.

That movie came out in 1994.

When I worked as an Apple Certified Repair Tech (years before Stores existed), my company gave us 50 shares of Apple stock (worth about $950 at the time) instead of Christmas Bonuses (cheap bastards ).
This was when everyone and their mothers considered stock certificates useful only to wipe your (_!_). I sold all but one stock to say I own part of . Apple was supposed be dead within a year. Then the second coming of Steve Jobs and the infamous deal with the M$ Devil... the rest we know.
That's 15 grand pissed away. Oh well. At least I still have one stock.
