I will NOT look at the AAPL ticker... I will NOT look at the AAPL ticker...

Just shakin' my head.

SURE wishing I'd have followed through buying more when it dipped to $120 last year.

Does have me wondering what I should do with it though... it's becoming the 800lb Gorilla in my portfolio!

I decided long ago to leave mine alone.

[Paul F.]

So did I...
But now that it's past 35% of my portfolio, I'm second-guessing myself!

Probably wisest to leave it be, but it's starting to make me wonder.

When it grows enough to be two 800lb Gorillas, they can keep each other company.

If the high percentage worries you then don't sell Apple, buy more of something else to add to the portfolio. Easy!

Well, yeah...
I'm trying. But you need cash for that.
I keep putting what I can into the market.. everything is on sale!

I'm pretty amazed to see it pushing $250.

Bad news, good news, bad news...

Bad news is I bought a couple grand worth of April $210 Put options when it surged above $220 thinking it would drop back down temporarily before going up again. Nope. Those Puts are now worthless.

Good news is I used my virtual account so I'm not out any money. Just a little bruised pride (but since it was only virtual, I didn't employ an exit strategy--for real money I wouldn't have lost much before bailing out).

Bad news is I used my virtual account because I don't have any real money to invest. lap:

Sold 1/2 of shares at 225, but now mixed feelings, earned a lot and other half going up, not greedy
