Steve Jobs Commencement Speech
What a Year for AAPL so far. I will leave it at that.
1/24 AAPL is trading at 420ish
3/16 AAPL is trading close to 600.
I got in on some of this action, but fear kept me out of the majority of it. One big trade would have killed it. Sometimes you have to take your “Risk Rules” and throw them out of the window. There were numerous, no COUNTLESS days were you could have gone in big on options and would have been rewarded handsomely. By looking to looking to the left of the AAPL chart, you would have never known this was possible, and that is why it payed so well. No one knew this was going to happen. So chalk it down as another lesson learned and move on. In honor of this big move enjoy a great speech that should inspire us all to reach for greatness.
“you can’t connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future, you have to trust in something-your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. Because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path and that will MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE….

This is one of my favorite youtube clips from Jobs, glad to see it used in a post about options! What is your opinion of AAPL after today’s move? Would you take profits or let it ride?
