Luv your Apple story. That is one to tell your grandchildren someday -- maybe even transfer a share along with the story.

I feel that many individual stocks like Apple are "long in the tooth" and as such are UNLIKELY to beat the ETF for the NASDAQ (the QQQ) on a long-term basis. Incidentally, a few years ago, I would attend the Villages Stock Club meetings. They were VERY interesting, but I lost my keen edge for increased knowledge about stocks and I stopped attending. They (or maybe it was just one guy) had developed their own "SYSTEM" for stock picking, I wonder how that has kept working? The club was excellent, just like many other clubs and organizations in TV Land!
