Merry Christmas for Apple: stock at an all time high again

Apple Stock You might be getting tired of hearing it repeatedly (and none of us here personally think it’s going to stop anytime soon), but Apple’s stock has once again set a record for itself. It’s reached an all-time high of $199.33 yesterday. Nearly $200.

As happy as I am for Apple, these records actually tend to depress me. Why? Well, if I’d invested when I became a fan of the company, back when every know-it-all was predicting the doom of Apple, I’d be on the verge of retirement, laughing all the way to the bank.

Instead, I cry into my morning cereal once again, thinking about all that money. If it breaks $200 before the new year, I’ll need a lot of champagne.

Trade options, much cheaper to make more profit on. (I use Think or Swim)

I feel your pain.

$5,000.00 of Apple stock at $10/share (that's 500 shares) back in/around 1997 -- with the stock splitting TWICE since then (totalling 2,000 shares) -- will be worth $400,000.00 @ $200.00/share.

Oh Lord.
