You have to think about it this way..Before you were born, or when you were first born, your parents most likely were focused on saving money to start a family and buy a house,etc.. So if they were putting cash in the stock market, they would have probably put a few thousand dollars..That wouldn't be enough to make you rich, unless they got the stocks when they were like $20/share...But if they bought a few thousand worth of stock when they were 80ish a share, you wouldn't be rich..It would be a nice return but not nearly enough to have u on some MTV Cribs steez

Originally bought 12, then 5 more when it shot up to around $80. 
EDIT: It's a little unsettling to have so many shares in an electronics company, though. I mean, it's grown exponentially, but you never know when someone else is going to beat Apple out.

LOL QUE? You have 17 shares bruh. This isn't Berkshire Hathaway Class A we are talking about.

I would have been happy to get it when it dipped to $150.  No one really saw them getting this high this quick at least from what I heard on CNBC during the past year.  $285 was the projected high.

Not the amount of shares, but the amount of profit. I'm not exactly Warren Buffett (funny joke though), I could use all the money I get. So I don't want to hold on too long and lose it all.

Am I ballin'? Negative. 

Am I happy I bought a couple shares in my teenage years on a whim? Yes.

If I bought more, I wouldn't be at work right now.
