Man!! Sorry to hear that!
That's amazing because both those companies have done fairly well from 2009 to 2019
I should say "for me" those companies are a never sell--my biggest money mistakes were sells and that's why I don't sell anymore. It still bothers me that my sells left 500k plus on the table--I'll never forget because some people close to me like to remind me every-so-often about my sells and call be stupid. I don't even want to know what certain sells are going to be worth in another 20 years. But I will...cause I'll look and calculate.
If I buy a stock I'm holding it till I'm dead, it's less stressful.
The AAPL shares I bought in 2003 and sold in 2005 for more than double what I paid would like a word. Still hurts to think about. One of my very first sells.
