I had $500 worth of Apple stock in 2002. It was up 30% in a year, so I figured it’s time to take profits, sold the stock, and bought a 10GB iPod with the money.

(I was a student, the idea of carrying all my CDs with me was extremely appealing.) Looks like the stock would be worth about $200k today. No regrets, I got to listen to New Order on the bus.
