Today was a good day in the Cultra family. Probably more for my daughter than me. Apple shares divided in a 7 for 1 split giving us thousands more shares. I’ve told the story before but my family has been using Apple since 1976. My grandfather was way ahead of his time and programmed his Apple II to be the taging machine for the nursery. Our nursery has run on Apple ever since. We were cool in the 70s and 80s. Looked like idiots in the 90s and got cool again over the last 7 years. We are beta testers for many of the largest business software writers for Mac because we were the original users. And all the while we bought shares of the company we love. We’ve sold shares over the years to buy land, buy houses, and invest in the business over years (we sold a little too much when it hit $100 a few years back). . Many of the shares were purchased at under a dollar split adjusted.
They always tell you to invest in what you know and every day for almost 40 years I’ve had a little apple symbol sitting in front of me. And while we still sell a little stock in times of need, I still find myself buying a few shares every year because I can’t seem to find a company I feel more confident in. I don’t consider myself a fanboy because it’s really all I’ve ever known. I owned one PC in my life and that was because my trading program wouldn’t run on a Mac back in 1991. Other than that, I have always owned and used an Apple. We even had an Apple Lisa. My father actually has an Apple “museum” and he collects antique Apple computers, all brand new in their original boxes. I think his Lisa could be worth $25K or more because it’s the finest specimen of Lisa in the world. Never seen another original Lisa still in the original box with twiggy drives and all the software to this day. When it’s all said and done his computers may end up being worth more than the stock. Believing and investing in Apple has paid dividends. It just took decades of time and resisting the urge to sell. Sounds a lot like domains. Here are today’s names Taking names for FRIDAY’S BOOK OF 10. FIVE spots left and 2 names for $40 early bird special. Get your name in front of 18,000 plus potential buyers.
NMII.com 18 years old. Evidently a city in Japan. Never heard of it but I don’t get out much. I didn’t even know that most of the early domainers made their money on typos and trademarks. Who knew?
VinylExchange.com I love records. My father, mentioned above, had an incredible record collection but gave it away because we didn’t show any interest. I don’t think he realized that you don’t love vinyl until you grow up and it reminds you of your youth. I wish he would have waited

Good story but hate to be bearer of bad news
Stock split has no effect on value of shares
If anything could make it a lot easier to short with the lower pps
JP,
As a former trader I completely understand. But the portfolio sure seems nicer when you have thousands of shares instead of hundreds 🙂
Great post, Shane — and one reason I prefer vinyl, it just sounds better!
Dividend is paid per share
