Once nice thing

Apple stock in 2007

One nice thing this past year was watching my Apple stock's value rise. It started 2007 at around $80 a share, and closed it out at nearly $200. That is, it way more than doubled.

It is the only investment made chiefly on my own say-so, and the only company I watch a bit. I guess I think "I like the products, so why shouldn't other people?"

But my professional portfolio manager had wanted me to sell it off, thinking I was too heavily invested in that one company.

Wish I had made more "mistakes" like that!

The other major really good thing for this last year was getting married in September. That more than doubled my "quality of life." And the initial investment was even less. It cost only $104 to get married by a Montana Justice of the Peace.

So there were, at least, two nice things in 2007!

And maybe more that I am not recollecting at the moment.

I wonder what will happen on the market when movie rentals for iTunes and the Apple TV are announced? Probably in a couple weeks?

Anyhow, I am not going to relinquish my shares--and certainly also not my wife!
