I bought one share of Apple stock in September 2001, when the stock was around $20.

Man, do I wish I'd bought more.

Given that you made a nice chunk of change, I don't think you should feel bad at all.

You're kicking yourself for making "only" $2,200?

Another thing, my parents should trust me. We holded MSFT and DEC in the past. Overall speaking, we gained a lot for holding MSFT back in the old days. However, DEC was being eaten by CPQ and now HPQ. Look at HPQ and you get the idea.

How sad.

I wanted to invest $1000 in Apple Stock back in my Junior year of HS (just before Jobs came back). Apple stock was commonly used as toilet paper back then. My mom kept me from doing it, though, on the grounds that I would need that money in college.

It's ironic that had I gone ahead anyway, I probably could have paid for my college tuition and the tuition of a few of my closest friends had I sold it before the Cube Crash (or now, for that matter).

I kept telling my Mom when the Apple Stock hit that 52 week low last summer (at around $14) that I wanted to put my savings into it, but she wouldn't let me. (I even had documents to show that Apple's stock was way undervalued for the time) Bah, I'd be able to get myself all the way through college and pick up a nice computer to go there.

Well after I told my mother she should take out a $20,000 personal loan and invest it ALL in Google on opening day and sell it a month later she scoffed at me. After realizing now that'd she be totally rich, she listened to me on the Apple hint. She's a few thousand richer and very happy she listened
