I bought 20,000 shares of Apple in 1997 right after Gil Amelio was ousted and Steve Jobs took over again, when the share price was less than a dollar, and I haven't touched a penny of it. The shares are just sitting there in my brokerage account. At this point, should I sell everything, pay the capital gains tax in full, and retire comfortably for the remainder of my life? Age 54, annual income of ~$100,000. I don't live extravagantly don't care about leaving an inheritance or earning "big bucks", and just want to retire comfortably. Convince me not to do it, Zig Forums.

Noah Young
What's it like being 54?
Nolan Cruz

Nathaniel Diaz
So currently we are hitting hyper inflation. And usually assets prices go thru roof. Get comfy sell half keep half. Buy land in middle of no where and prepare for hell cuz it’s coming don’t be greedy be happy you can afford to survive
Christian Ramirez
apple has peaked, microsoft has peaked, these companies aren't going down in value but they won't get any higher, i'd say sell 15k but it's up to you
Nolan Rogers
proof or larp. i have helped people like you but im not going to waste energy on a larper.
Elijah Taylor
If you pull a muscle or start having joint pain, it probably won't go away. You just start to accumulate things that are wrong with you. On the plus side, it's a lot easier to score meds from your doctor.
Kevin Gutierrez
That would be worth what, like 500 million?
James Evans
proof and i will give you some useful advice
Daniel Brown
sell everything and put it into Chainlink not even joking or kidding deutsche telekom google swift oracle they are all into it.This is next shit that will 150x guaranteed in the next 2-3 years good luck
Noah Myers
I am not sure how I could prove anything to you without jeopardizing myself. Besides, if worse comes to worse, I can still just sell everything and become a literal millionaire. My primary concern is that I should keep some portion of the total amount in play as an insurance policy. Who knows what might happen to the value of the dollar in the next few years.
Kayden Harris
No, more like 20 million before taxes.
Jack Sanchez
Sell it all and buy silver bullion, a safe to store it in, and a few guns to protect it. Thank me later

Yeah, I wouldn't be so quick to sell assets and go into the USD. If anything, sell a modest salary's worth, $60K, give Uncle Sam his cut, and continue living modestly. Keep your wealth tied to those stocks and only convert them to USD when you need to.
There's no way Apple's price won't continue to go up. We don't know their plan and the 4th industrial revolution is upon us. They have to have something brewing using 5G and blockchain technology.

LARPers on this board are so fucking pathetic. They should go join the fags on TIFU and relationship advice if they want to write their shitty stories.
Grayson Nguyen
What have you been doing with the dividends, fren? That should be an income of sbout 60 grand/year right there. Sll of it should be qualified dividends, so tax free if you're married.
Samuel Jenkins
That has been the entirety of my income for the past five years. My wife works as a bookkeeper for a local professional firm. Together we earn about $100,000.
Luis Sanchez
Leave something for your kids if you have them. Otherwise, why not cash out and work on that bucket list? I'm 44 and if I had 60 grand a year coming in from investments, I would consider myself retired already.
Henry Green
I have one grown son, but I don't believe in the idea of leaving an inheritance. He can have anything he wants with sentimental value, of course, but he'll be fine to earn his own living.
Jonathan Ortiz
Write covered calls on half of your shares. 7/31 AAPL392.5c is going for $960 per contract. You could make hundreds of thousands per month.
Grayson Parker
I thought this thread was a larp but you really are a boomer.
Xavier Lopez
Bait
Evan Sanders
Blue pulled. Generational wealth is a powerful thing. Leave him money in a trust with strict rules if you must torture him. Dont you want golden statues of yourself in the future as your heirs increase the wealth you created?
Joseph Nguyen
That just sounds so American.
Lincoln Thompson
>There's no way Apple's price won't continue to go up.
This is how you know we are in a bubble. When retards say shit like this, straight faced. yeah, stonks will just go up forever bro. new paradigm n sheet.
Alexander Taylor
Retard these shares aren't crypto currency. No one is hacking your broker and sending your shares to them self.
William Price
>Still wagecucking mediocre jobs while holding like $20 million in Apple stock
I don't believe you
Parker Foster
The dividends alone are enough to support us, and she is still working, but I wasn't about to retire at age 40 or whatever when the share price kept going up, up, and away... Now I'm older and it's time to start thinking about what the rest of my life is going to look like.
Levi Ross
If I were you I would take out the majority 60~80% and just enjoy life and leave the remainder for later (maybe take it out in 20~30 years)
Jacob Diaz
Yea just make sure to sell all your apple gains and donate it to (((charities))), somebody's gotta pay those admin salaries
