BTW, this is about YOUR investments, not mine. I already admitted failure.

Re: Your Best Investment Ever
I'm not a big-time investor, but I sunk ~$5K into a whopping 50 shares of AAPL late 1999. 6 years and two splits later, it appears to have done well. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Too bad the same can't be said for most of the other stocks in my meager portfolio. |

Re: Your Best Investment Ever
The $40 I spent on a really good fake ID my freshman year at school. I can't even begin to estimate how much use I got out of that, but suffice it to say that that $40 went much, much further than any expenditure before or since in terms of maximizing utility.
Other than that, some Monsanto stock I got from my parents when I graduated high school. Sold it off earlier this year for a nice gain. |

Re: Your Best Investment Ever
Best investment ever - Panera Bread at $7. Sold out at $50. Regretted it ever since.
Worst investment never made - Had $1000 in 1980 and wanted to buy something. Since I wasn't 18 yet, told my dad to ask his broker about it. Said it was too risky, I should invest in this Canadian gold mining stock, which today is worth all of $4. The "too risky" stock - Genentech. That's when I learned that brokers know crap. Worst sell - 1992, bought a quality high tech stock at 13 5/8. Come 1995 and I want to buy a new Celica, so I can sell one of two stocks. I pick this one, which is at 32. Unfortunately its name was Sun Microsystems and I wound up driving the world's only $500,000 Celica. |
