Feeling hurt with the stock price dunking in the past couple months? Guess it depends on when you bought. Still cheap as hell relative to everything else.

OT: Guess biggest single investment and coincidentally biggest outstanding debt is my house.

Right time to buy in most places though brah, especially with interest rates dirt cheap.

You'll thank yourself in five-ten years when you sell.

Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

Property.

I got REALLY lucky when it came to the recent bubble. Bought in SE Florida in 1999, sold in 2005 for nearly 3x what I paid, and then moved to TX where things were comparatively far cheaper and I was able to buy 2x the house for what it would have cost back in FL.

I won't say that the timing was due to any special skills or awareness on my part. I just got lucky.

But now that real estate is pretty flat or growing at a far more reasonable rate (slowly, not fast-turn-around speculation style increases) I think that I have a solid and (provided the bottom doesn't fall out completely) will end up doing all right.

I'd still make a tidy profit if I sold now, but I'm hoping it bounces back.

It should IMO. Every time AAPL dips like this, everyone throws a fit and says it is about to become what Microsoft was at the end of the tech bubble, collapsing into mediocrity and taking the share price with it.

And every time people who buy the dip in AAPL merrily dance to the bank a few months later once they release yet another record sales/profit quarter.

I think having a product completely "Made in the USA" was the right way to go. Im not a Mac guy but I will seriously consider it now. Apple stock will be fine, I might invest some in it now.

It will the stock market's a cyclical thing. It'll rise and fall then rise then fall and so on.

Of course; not like I'm sweating about it. I snagged several shares when it was around $300, so for a while I had more than doubled my investment, but I am kind of kicking myself for not selling when it hit $700.

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

Please allow me to introduce Myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith

Hmm... Its a toss up between my house or my education. If you mean strictly financial, then my rental home is by far the biggest. If by sweat equity, then my MBA is.

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

I am a pharmaceutical scientist. I received my Masters degree in Pharmaceutics from the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia in 2010, after working as a Pharmacist for 4 years. I currently work in King of Prussia, PA, and focus on the analytical chemistry of small molecule APIs. My clients include some of the most well known big pharma companies in the world.

Aside from my college education (~$210,000) and my car ($31,000), the biggest investment I've made was a $2000 bass guitar (1 of a kind Musicman Stingray).
