Well, FWIW, I came in in the early days, like your Dr... A couple batches, one near $16, another near $20, off the top of my head... Many splits later it has made up for any & all losses in what became LU before it crashed. Toss in the dividends, a nice investment... Fun at times, spooky at others... The day trader gaming back on Yahoo, Raging Bull were nasty... Today, not so much of the gaming...
I recall my District Manger & I had a public discussion going at conferences, staff meetings, about how they wanted LU to become a $50B company, and a little ridicule of Apple.. Apple Revenue topped $50B last Q... I think I won that game!
