Just for fun, I thought I'd post the status of my free iPhone. Here we go:

To be fair, I bet you didn't buy those $80 shares 7 days ago ;-)
Anyway, I wish I had been as smart as you..
yes this is correct. i did not buy those shares 7 days ago, i believe i bought them in february-march time frame anticipating the upside from the iphone (and the positive 5 star rating by s&p on aapl).
related rant: I long ago abandoned trusting my ability to guess the stock market and now rely heavily on s&p 500 reports to influence my stock purchases. i'm just no good at it and lost enough to abandon trusting my instincts for stock market investing. returns have been much better by leveraging these reports (as a general rule i buy nothing without a 5 star s&p rating, i'd consider 4 stars).
i went ahead and deleted the 'free iphone in 7 days' to just 'free iphone', first title was misleading, good catch!
