No Regrets

On Twitter, Markos recounts something that will probably ring familiar to most stock investors.

In 1996, I had $5K I was going to invest in AAPL. Instead, helped pay my future wife’s tuition. Today, that $5K would be worth $1.2 million.

Earlier this century, I noticed that shares of a telecom equipment maker were trading just above a buck. I suspected the stock would likely recover, and it subsequently rebounded up past $20 not long after that. I can’t say that I was on the verge of buying the thing, but it has sort of haunted me since.
