And the world changed!
Anyone remember this? If you don't … well …
The thing I remember most is that my dad approached me a few weeks later and was asking about a tech stock he should buy. I told him to buy Apple. He said, no, Apple was bankrupt. I said, no, Apple just re-aquired Steve Jobs and they're shooting for the moon.
He had a thousand dollars to invest. That would be worth something like $75,000 today.
That story will remain in my mind forever. Mostly because I was drinking about a thousand dollars per month, and wish I'd had the sense to take my own advice.
