I bought apple stock back in college in like 2008 or 2009. After the split I had about 36 shares. It did well and I made a few thousand off of my initial ~$700 investment.
Because I'm an idiot who did no research before selling, I sold right before their last quarterly report. I had read some articles that the iPhone 7 was doing poorly and I also didn't like the no headphone jack idea (now I kinda do like it). I sold it at like $115.
Since then I've watched their stock skyrocket to now $138. Because of my poor decision I lost out on a potential extra $864. Not a life changer but it just hurt my pride. I've been fighting the temptation to buy back in lately, but every time I get back online the price has risen. What do you think? Just keep my earnings and take this as a lesson, or maybe consider buying back in?
Apple does have a lot going for them in the near future, but it will cost me $864 to buy back in and I'd have to hope the price continues to skyrocket at least as much as it has since I sold. I'm leaning on not doing it but I'm interested in your opinions.
