Back in '98 or so I bought i think $25 or $50 in my personal account and my Roth. And havent touched it since. I think my purchase price was around $200.

I've been waiting for some big news to happen to get them back up to where they were for a short time ($700) to make it worthwhile to get rid of those minuscule shares, and put the $200 profit to work elsewhere. Tiny numbers, but hey, that was my first purchase I think. lol


I would't sell it --- why bother? It's in your account -- it's a GREAT company -- it costs you nothing to hold it. And now they're going to give you 700% more shares... and they raised their dividend payout by 8%... WTF is wrong with that.

Seriously -- I don't know how you could take $200 and do any better than have it in AAPL.
