re: APPLE SPLITTING! What’s the play?

Curious to know if you are satisfied with your overall investment? Have you held your original position over the last six years?
You've seen a healthy ROI but majority, if not all, was realized in the 12 months given the rebound since May 2019.
The growth from 2015-2017 was a marginal %.
17-Q3 2018 was strong but at EOY 2018 you were back to about a 50% ROI over 4 years.
2019 to date, its been on a tear, outside of the March fall out, but you're on track to see 300+% ROI over 6 years. Annualized not bad but again, majority of that was in the last 12-18 months.
So, what are your thoughts on the split and go forward?
I own 0 shares of Apple and just looking for perspective of long shareholder

I bought about same time as Fallguy just after split in 14.
Nabbed 50 shares or a little over 5k investment.. Held it all. Up 275% I think.
It’s worth about 20k now obviously.

It's been the best performing stock that I own. It wasn't a rocket ship up all the time but I've held it through bad earnings and decent sized dips and just reinvested the dividend. I've actually considered selling half (even made a thread on here about it) but I thankfully never did.
It been a really good investment for me. I'm up 413% at today's close. I'm similar to the poster above. I own like 55 shares or something like that.

I've held Apple for several years and added to it here and there. Just a while back, I was considering selling and taking the profit after the run over the last 3 years had me up by a large percentage - you can go back and find the post I made about it on MT. Several here insinuated that I was crazy, and since there are folks here with a LOT more financial acumen than me, I took it as a sign, sold some other stocks/ETF positons and essentially doubled down on my stake. That brings my basis, as of today, up to $271 per share.
Obviously the last three years have been good to me with the stock and I'm extremely pleased with the performance. I don't contribute to that IRA anymore - what's there is there and I'll let it grow. If it gets to 20% of my portfolio in the IRA though, I'll likely sell some of it off and put it elsewhere. I've got some money in other funds that have had great performance over the last 10 years and would have outpaced Apple individually without what's happened this year though.

I bought my first $5k worth of AAPL in 2009 for about $110 a share. I watched it go way up and sold some in the $300's because I needed money at the time. Regretted it and bought back in soon after in the higher $300's. Continued buying even when it was $700+. Watched it crash all the way down to the $300's again and finally it seemed I learned my lesson. I didn't panic, I bought more. Have continued to do that through the years, as recently as March. I have about 700 shares now and haven't sold again since that very first time. There's certainly been some scary times, but I held and as of Fri I am up 546%
I will buy more AAPL, so you should too.

I bought a couple hundred shares right after the split in 2014. Best investment I have ever made. I will hold through this split, expecting to be up a little over 500% after it settles back with new retail investors getting in
ETA: I am not sure when I will sell it, I don't see it going anywhere
