AAPL is pretty close (about 5.5x). V is close as well

Not saying anything is wrong with the risk of hoping that growth stock keep going up while you aren't yielding any benefit until you sell. I just like to be able to make money while not worrying about stock price. For all I care, my portfolio could crash 50% for the next 10 years. But if the dividends are intact, I'm still making money/reinvesting at an incredible low price.

A project in late 05 led to us buying UA very early in 06. UA and Apple have been very friendly to us.

Slipped a bit compared to Q3 2014

Their revenues grew 28% compared to Q3 2014, but net income obviously didnt grow at that same pace with all the initial costs associated with their Connected Fitness plans

The stock has been all over the place... I bought a share a few months ago because I had $100 sitting in my Robin hood account. I'm about even at the moment.

I'm an idiot and a chicken shite... I remember when the talk of UA came up a long while back, when it was down in that 40/50 range. I was a huge proponent, talking about how they were coming for Nike and one day, would be as large if not larger.... Yet, I didn't put my money where my mouth was
