I try not to wince when I consider that the Apple stock I sold for about $60,000 in 2001 (and could have repurchased for about $40,000 in 2003) is now worth more than $790,000.

That Apple stock I could have bought for $790,000 (if I only had $790,000) is now worth $840,000.

On the other hand, the bozos who gave several hundred dollars to line-sitters for iPhones sure look stupid right now.
