SOTWE ... What / Who Is Your One Regret?

[Dix]

In song format, please. A little story works, too

 

[BrotherBart]

I couldn't find a song about not buying Apple stock in 1980.

 

[Dix]

Sorry BB *hugs*

Yeah, I kick myself for that one also

 

[DevilsBrew]

Not for the past but for the future. Someday there will be that someone.

In 1968 I couldn't get my mom or my grandma to lend me the money to buy that 1956 T-Bird for $2500.00.

I sold it at $22 in 2000 anticipating the dot com bust, but never bought back in.

Ouch...... You gotta win this one

I bought PSINET stock in 1996 and sold it weeks before the crash in 1999. When the CFO told me at the annual meeting that they didn't have to make a profit, they were an Internet company. Then I brokered a significant chunk of their carrier class telco assets out of the bankruptcy auctions. Made retirement at 58 and wasting a chitload of time on h.c. possible.

I am probably one of very few people that thought the dot com crash was a good thing. Kept the Exxon stock. I have always said that nobody has ever gone to war over things with chips in them.

Yet. But I think cyberwars could be common in the future.

 

[Adios Pantalones]

My first wife. Actually glad to be rid of her (she was pretty mean) but I wish I saw this coming. My true regret- I never got to help.

I have lots of questions about paths not taken. Probably the one that haunts me the most is a spontaneous comraderie I felt with an aging winemaker in Provence. He was clearly looking for a mature student to teach and I was so close to saying yes.
