MSM to you: don’t sell if the market crashes

[CatOwner]

Does that include any dividends?

[Regulator]

Yeah, not bad.

Of course you could also have just bought a house in Cupertino at the time for about $120K and it would be worth north of $2.5M now.

And you would have gotten to live in it all this time.

[Red Badger]

I WOULD BE WROTH, TOO...................

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

[1Old Pro]

You could have also bought MNST or Tractor Supply.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

My father invested then. And then sold not long after.

Yep.

If You Invested $1,000 When Apple Aired Its 1984 Super Bowl Ad, Here's How Much You'd Have Now

If You Were the President of the United States and You Communicated with American Voters via Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitter Through 2019, Here's How Many of Those Sites Will Permanently Ban You in 2020: All 4."

[Larry Lucido]

How Much You’d Have Now

Or:

Your ex would have now

Your heirs might have now

You’d have now if you don’t get hit by a bus

You’d have now if you don’t invest in something stupid

You don’t spend it on women and booze (and waste the rest)

[fwdude]

Well, let me hop in my time machine and be off back to 1983.

[MomwithHope]

Plus Apple has split 5 times! I have to believe Trumps DWAC will be splitting this year yet.

[discostu]

Nothing. I’d have sold ages ago.

[reg45]

Now try to imagine if you had invested $100 per month in AAPL starting back in 1983 ….

[sauropod]

Okay, what is the next hot tip?

[Yo-Yo]

The $1,000 investment in AAPL shares would be wroth $1,331,385 today, based on a price of $173.08 for AAPL shares at the time of writing.

And on January 3, 2022, it was worth $1,407,231.19

[jimmygrace]

Ahh, the misplaced values of youth. I bought the first Macintosh, using my student discount to “only” spend $3800 on a 5” black n white screen. Imagine if I had the wisdom to instead use the money to buy Apple stock at the time... (sigh)

[tflabo]

Oh well, what could have been. Can’t take a nickel with us when crossing over to Beulah land.

[Dr. Sivana]

Now, if you invested $1,000 in Commodore, Tandon, Epson, Coleco, Northgate, Tandy, Sanyo, DEC, Atari, Sinclair, Kaypro or Osborne, you might not have done so well.

On the other hand if you went with P.C.’s Limited (Dell) or HP, you would have done quite well.

I did not have the time to check which of these companies were privately held at the time, just trying to make the point that at the time, the long-term winners were not obvious.

[fruser1]

How much did the theranos investors get?
