Don't beat yourself up, there are always other opportunities out there.

Fun fact:
50 shares of Google at IPO price of $85 would have cost $4,250 and be worth $31,981.50 at today's close.

$4,250 worth of Apple stock purchased the same day (August 18, 2004) would have been about 137 shares which would have split into 274 shares. That stock would be worth $93,338.10 at today's close.
