Buy And Hold

July 2, 2019June 30, 2019

Seeing little value to having it sit forever in a file drawer, Ronald Wayne sold his copy of a 1976 contract he’d signed with Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak for $500.  A nerdy collector’s item.  Why hang on to it?

A couple of decades later, in 2011 — and this has got to smart — that document sold at auction for $1.59 million.

(Oh: and the document itself gave Mr. Wayne 10% of Apple which, had he not sold it back to them 12 days later for $800, would today be worth $92 billion.)

Just saying.

Quote of the Day

"Most of the world's Big Problems have a common denominator: waste. In every nation and every community and every company and almost every household, there is waste of money, energy, resources, and human potential. Fretting won't change this. Action can. It's also more fun."

Hunter Lovins, The Rocky Mountain Institute
