Over on the DELL board last year, we had a DELL employee lamenting the fact that he had sold $5,000 worth of DELL stock to take his wife on a Lake Tahoe ski vacation in 1992. Value today of $5,000 worth of DELL stock bought in 1992? A little over $1 million. I have just about gotten to the point where I learn from my mistakes more often than I regret them. Sure, the $1000 that I spent in 1985 on a now-unused camera would be worth 1.3 gazillion dollars if I had bought MSFT. But I didn't. Can't be changed. Now what's for dinner? Madness
