Crying over Spilled Milk
Let’s see, had I invested the same $2,500 in Google as I did in Express Scripts, I would have netted about $9,500 to date. Not that my two-month-old investment in Express Scripts is languishing. I’ve earned $20 per share to date. Still, if wishes were horses.
Similarly, had I paid attention to my e-mails from American Express, I would have been on the ball about tickets for the Odd Couple with Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick. Could have saved a pretty penny on the tickets I just snagged through a broker. Plus, there would have been the chance for some arbitrage by snagging some extra tickets and pawning them on eBay. Orchestra and good mezzanine seats are going for more than $400. Oh well.
