I tell you what : I'm a bozo. Back in May 2003, I got a fairly nice severance package from my forever-beloved Agilent Technologies. During a couple of weeks, I hesitated putting to invest half of it into a bunch of Apple' s shares, which was around $23 at this time. Actually, I wanted to buy 1,000 shares. I did not. Now you understand why I'm a bozo.
