Yep.

I wasn't exactly flush while in grad school, but I scraped and saved $5000 to buy my initial stake in AAPL (something I'd been wanting to do since Steve Jobs returned as CEO in 1997). I've added significantly more over the years, especially during dips, but I'll let anyone interested do the math on what that first 5 grand invested in late 2001 is worth today after splits and dividend reinvestment.
Should be ~50x

very nice payout.

I'm no Jim Cramer, but I imagine picking the correct stock has something to do with it as well.

Find a nice DRIP. Harley Davidson used to be a good one, but I think the stock value is too volatile anymore. There are others you can shop and enroll in. I hate to make recommendations since stock selection is much more emotional than it used to be. Doing simple analysis of the business, its future and management team doesn't seem to be part of the equation so much anymore.

Now with that said... too bad I couldn't accumulate anything in that time... I remember looking at places to buy in 2011 but I never pulled the trigger.

Spot on. I know very little about stocks and investing outside of making sure my wife's 401k, my pension, and my SEP IRA are okay. However, I got lucky and bought a bunch of stock when everything turned to shit years go, bought a house in California when the bubble burst, etc. Live within your means. The next time the economy goes to shit, get ready to pounce.

I hate DRIPs. Every dividend results in a purchase. Every time the price is different. 20 years from now you'll sell and good luck figuring out the gains for taxes. I had to try and figure this out for my FIL. No thanks.
