I'm completely in cash right now, up more than 50% on the year, but AAPL is one that I track all the time, imagine my surprise when I happened to check in the evening sometime and noticed that between a modest gain during the trading day and a huge gain in after-hours trading, it was up 29.39 today. I do believe I'll be getting me some of that. :^)
Murphy’s Law being what it is, I recently sold a third of my AAPL to take a more conservative stance. But I knew this could happen, and consoled myself that if AAPL went up 50% it would tend to become just as prominent in my portfolio again as it was before I lightened up on it.OTOH all companies are temporary. I still have to eat if AAPL takes a nosedive in my lifetime. I don’t want to have to check the market every day.
