So it was wise to trim before the results Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04418491109912775561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616959642391988608.post-29427671490798651572012-08-21T07:14:28.341-07:002012-08-21T07:14:28.341-07:00btw, further to my previous criticism here of the ...btw, further to my previous criticism here of the iPhone, i sold mine and paid less than one-sixth of the price for a Samsung Galaxy Y. Sure, it's not as slick but its battery life is better and it does the job (eg better integration with gmail and google calendar), also pretty similar range of most popular apps. I still enjoy my ipad but i think Apple is vulnerable on the smartphone front.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062180895899998738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616959642391988608.post-68236832489710879842012-08-21T07:10:51.120-07:002012-08-21T07:10:51.120-07:00PS - You never answered my question of how much yo...PS - You never answered my question of how much you invested in Apple shares and when ? What sort of multiple did you get? x50, x100 ? Come on Scott, we're all curious. Did you turn $10,000 into $1m or $100,000 into $10m or $1m into $100m ??!Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062180895899998738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616959642391988608.post-44366966780304447832012-08-21T07:09:21.766-07:002012-08-21T07:09:21.766-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062180895899998738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616959642391988608.post-42187977165276511112012-08-21T07:06:51.105-07:002012-08-21T07:06:51.105-07:00Not allowing for inflation, Scott !
