Why I bought AAPL on Oct 8

First, let me gloat.  Permalink to this paragraph

I bought $49,761 of AAPL on Oct 8.  Permalink to this paragraph

My investment is now worth $54,933. Permalink to this paragraph

That's 10.5 percent growth in less than a month. Permalink to this paragraph

Hah! Permalink to this paragraph

A picture named imac.gifI bought the stock because I was going to buy everything Apple sold from now until forever. The last product I had yet to purchase was the company's stock. That was a mistake. The beauty of owning the stock is that you can use the increase in value to fund the hardware habit. So far so good.  Permalink to this paragraph

My very dear friend Sylvia Paull bought an iPod a month ago. In a blog post today she calls it a gateway drug. Having read early reviews of the new operating system, she's ready to buy a 24 inch iMac.  Permalink to this paragraph

I recognize the signs.  Permalink to this paragraph

It's like a virus I tell you. Permalink to this paragraph

PS: I just checked on at the Apple store. My family pack of Leopard has shipped, and will arrive tomorrow by 10:30AM. Now that's cool! No penalty for ordering online vs visiting the store. Way to go. Permalink to this paragraph
