AAPL

Another year was coming to a close, Apple was trading at $14.00 a share, and Mary had a chunk of inheritance just sitting in the bank doing nothing. So I phoned up Chris—the only guy I know in the money business—to help me figure out the best way to fulfil my Apple fan-boy dreams, and the first thing he said to me is what guys in the money business have been trained to say from the days of Aesop on down: “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.”
     So we only bought 58 shares.
     Fuck you, Aesop.
