What is your favorite stock? As a young guy, I started my career at Merrill, 1996 or so. I heard about a stock AAPL. Dad was a blue collar worker & I convinced him to give me $1,000 to purchase. It was around $5 or so. When he retired in 2015, I sold half & gave him $319,000 or so. It was the happiest day of my life. He traveled the world with mom. I didnât stop there, any opportunity, Iâd sell part of my half & finance a trip. I wanted him to keep his money. Thank you Apple.
