Don't think I'll ever have to worry about that

[Fulvio]

Nothing ever happens to MY computers, cos I choose quality over cheap-and-nastiness. As for all the people I know with PC's, well... they deserve all their self-inflicted traumas I reckon.

[ausjack]

I'm very poor so don't think it's self-inflicted

[robbiegal]

we don't get really expensive computers and we ok with them
just get the anti-virus as well & always

[ausjack]

yeah I think Fulvio has shares RG :laugh2: just joking sorry mate :winkextra:

[Fulvio]

yeah I think Fulvio has shares

Actually, that is a very very sad story...

Back in the day when every idiot journalist in the world was bleating about how "beleaguered Apple" was as good as dead (with four billion dollars in cash in hand, mind you), there was a move afoot to show support by buying parcels of shares.

Being in Oz, there was all sorts of horrible IRS paperwork, which I had in hand, filled in and ready to go to a broker in LA, along with three grand.

At $12 a share.

Then our very stupid government, against all advice, decided to flog off Telstra. And since it was a MUCH much simpler process, I tossed the three grand at them instead.

Multiple stock splits later, and with my Telstra shares worth about half what I paid for them, that little parcel was worth about $1.5 million.

:cray:

OK, so the stock price has since halved, what with Steve being worm food, a bucketload of stupid product decisions by the new managment and all.. but still, it would have been a much much better move had I gone through with it. And MUCH better than Tel$tra.

[ausjack]

yeah there's been a lot of people over the years that have said 'if only' gee I've done it heaps my self but then sit back and go such is life and it must have happened for a reason, well one would hope and that it's not just a random act from the universe :winkextra: I have to tell my self that or I'd think I did something to deserve what's happened to me, yeah I'm bad but not that bad..not as bad as 'Bad Boy Belly' though, now there's trouble with a capital T if ever I seen it and I've seen a little :laugh2: Ya know I love ya, Big B :winkextra:

Hi Fulvio,
That sounded like something which would be a real downer, so it thought it was worth checking out.  

I did a little looking and what I found does not seem to match what you are saying.

What I found made it look like you had not done nearly so badly as you thought - which is good!

I had put a whole lot of links, but thought I would just ask for how you worked it out instead, as I might have missed something.

[Fulvio]

What I found made it look like you had not done nearly so badly as you thought - which is good!

Yes, the situation today is nowhere near as bad as it was. Telstra are back in the black, and Apple has come off the boil considerably.

But after sixteen years Telstra is now nearly double the issue price. Apple is up 6,700%, counting splits. That is still one heck of a difference.

To put it in coin terms, its like being offered the choice of a 1930 or 1931 penny way back when, and choosing the 1931. They're both worth more than a penny, but oh what a difference....

[lacey]

Nah nah it's all good as I took offence at something and then I didn't know if it was a joke but it still hurt and I misunderstand a lot but I'm getting it worked out :good: and thank you all and your most welcome for the cards :hi: I run out so I still have a few to try and get out before then, Lacey, Fulvio are a few more and Uni please send me your address I forgot to ask sorry, thanks mate :winkextra: and they're early 'cause I'm so bloody useless :laugh2: Thanks again all :heart:

Sorry to any I've forgotten but these are most of the address I have, I've been putting them all in a little book other wise yes I forget and it's come in handy and I told the trout I must get him one and put my name first thing but still to get it sorry cobba so be there in the new year :winkextra:

god I'm a dick, just looking and I should have marked them but now I can't remember who I sent to so if you get two it's a double merry christmas :laugh2:

I got my card AJ, but not sending out mine just yet.  :-)
I did wonder what you were on about fulvio.  I bought some telstra shares for $3 something about 4 years ago and would have doubled my money now.  Still wondering whether or not to sell.

[ausjack]

excellent, thanks lacey :good: but you don't have to mate as i just wanted to send out a little thank you to those who have been nice to me when they didn't have to and wish it was more but as they say it's the thought that counts and some of the nice thoughts and well wishes people have given me when I've been down has helped me greatly so I just wanted them to know I remember, care and it does mean a hell of a lot to me the little things people do, so much so it near makes me cry, I love you guys :heart:

[Fulvio]

I bought some telstra shares for $3 something about 4 years ago

Telstra spent a very long time a looong way under water, thanks to some less than brilliant management. Yes, they've finally recovered, though not to anything near the highs of long ago. I think if you bought cheap, they're probably worth holding onto, on the basis that there's a very good chance this idiotic FTTN idea of Abbott's will make tens of billions for them, which should flow through to the share price. However there are many better companies to invest in, and I wouldn't be buying Telstra at today's prices. And I certainly feel sorry for people who bought in with T2, and are still a couple of dollars in the red.

[ausjack]

this is why I need a break from time to time as it's like a niceness OD and I'm not use to it, actually use to being treated the opposite but I feel it's changing me to be nicer so it'a all good :friends:
:laugh2: is that the same management that cost us a bloody mint to get rid of someone and now has been put back to do it all again as he's so good at his job, how much will it cost to get rid of him this time go ziggy, oop's did I say that out loud :winkextra:
