About me

Introduction I used to be an Investment Advisor and during that time I came to learn that many people in the investment industry, simply did not know what they were doing. I had trusted one person to give me investment advice before that, and now I do everything on my own. In 2005 when the iPod Nano was released, I bought Apple stock for the first time. I had never owned an Apple product before, and really was not a big fan of their brand. After owning the device I bought some Apple stock. In the 5 years since I have bought more and more and more, and now it is about 50% of my portfolio. Since having such a large percentage of your portfolio in one stock is extremely risky, I follow the news, the data, Twitter, the blogosphere, and personally test every product. This antenna controversy with iPhone 4 has convinced me that a place is needed for intelligent discussion about investing in Apple.
