I thought about it this morning...


If you want to see a dramatic chart of "Fundamental change" -- pull up Microsoft (MSFT) and go to "ALL" to see the chart since they started being a public company (1986),

In December 1999 - Bill Gates announced Steve Ballmer was going to be CEO beginning 2000 ---- SEE THE PEAK?? From then on the stock languished (flat lined) -- Until they made the announcement in 2013 that Ballmer would be replaced by Satya Nadella.

Now --- having said all of that --- I'M USING GOOGLE FINANCE WEBSITE CHARTS --- I want you to add to this chart -- Apple (AAPL) stock. Hopefully you know how to do that - there's a small box top left of the chart labeled "compare" -- just type in AAPL and click ADD....

Bet you never saw that one coming!!! LOL

I'll let the responses speak for themselves rather than me spoiling what you're going to see.

Thanks Clill, not too often I can afford a 'leveraged' position.

C's philosophy in a nut shell..... Whatever you buy - make sure you buy low and sell higher.
