Gent,

Thanks for the advice and the laughs. I am not 30, but am always on the lookout for sage advice from people with perspective. And Mr. Jones, too.

30yrs ago should have bought more than 500shares of amazon,(like maybe a 1000,l could afford it), instead of listening to dispersonification financial geniuses.

:-k I am not a financial whiz, by ANY stretch of the imagination, but I'm guessing if you bought 500 shares of Amazon 30 years ago, and held onto it all these years, you should be pretty well off these days.

Amazon is only about 24 yrs old so you couldโ€™ve invested in blo and ho's for 6 yrs before settling down.

Their IPO was in 1997. So 500 shares at IPO ($18/share) would have cost you about $9k giving you $1.7M today at about $3,400/share.

That's a big, fat ROI, though...

I was into gold then, but did buy Amazon during that period, who remembers that far back, when I can't even remember yesterday, most of the time. When you are retired, what day it is, is tuff a enough. Let alone the year.

No such luck for me...
No stocks at all.
Oh well...
Buy at $9 K , hold 24 yrs and it's grown to
$1.7 mil. Now??? That is genius!!!

Mr. Jones, I have a sneaking suspicion you may be the most insightful one here...

Just don't hate me, I may have had SSG do my bidding a few times in years gone by. Never in your neck of the woods though.
