Of course I'm the guy (idiot) that sold 100 shares of Nike at $10 after I'd doubled my money back in 1978.
Did I ever mention that I got to buy into the Starbucks IPO at IPO insider price? Yep -- bought 1000 shares at $17.00

That was on like Thursday or a Friday.... by Monday they went up THREE FIFTY ($21.50) and I sold the whole enchilada! Wow! I thought to myself -- I just scammed those poor suckers for a quick THIRTY FIVE HUNDRED BUCKS!! I'm a frigging GENIUS!


Oh -- Total return on Starbucks.... since it went IPO.....



TWENTY THOUSAND PERCENT. That's right... 20,000% since 1992


Yeah -- I'm a real genius!
