Apple Will Continue To Make Big Bets Under Tim Cook, And They'll Pay Off

How Steve Jobs Changed My Life

"I’ve violated every rule of investing in the past two-and-a-half years and am all the richer — literally! — for it. (I’m richer at least on paper, not rich. Please note the difference!)

In any case, what’s the key to my success? One word: Apple. I made a conscious decision in March 2009 to start investing in the Cupertino, California-based company. Apple then was trading at about $78 a share; it’s now trading at around $370 a share.

My only regret is that I didn’t shift more of my investments into Apple when the company was at its nadir. Instead, I’ve periodically and regularly shifted an increasing share of my portfolio into this amazing American success story.

The result, not surprisingly: a stunning and dramatic increase in my financial wealth (at least on paper)!

Yeah, I know: It’s risky to put most of your financial eggs into one investment basket. What happens if Apple falls, which it might? What if a competitor firm comes out with better and less expensive products?

Believe me, I’m well aware of the risks involved. But I’m also well aware of the potential financial upside. More to the point, I simply believe in Apple because I’ve come to love their products and their customer service."

ing Christie’s Courageous Climate Stance Christie’s Courageous Climate Stance

"When it comes to climate change, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie annoys people on both extremes of the political spectrum. One more reason to see a bright future for this guy.

On the far left, the Daily Kos types fulminate that Christie is a stooge of fossil fuel interests. Over on the far right, the vein throbbing set obsesses that Christie has joined the church of Al Gore.

This is a positive development. In defying ideologues and their litmus tests, Christie is blazing a trail that could lead the U.S. out of its polarized rut on energy and climate policy.

What did Christie do that resulted in such diverse outbursts of ideological bloviation?

On August 19, he vetoed a bill that would have returned New Jersey to the Northeast’s regional cap-and-trade program for power plants. It’s called the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, or RGGI for short."
