[quote=flu]yes folks, buy more intuit software. I still have equity from there and it would be nice if it can double again….:)
If you haven’t tried it already quickbooks and go payment… Just saying….[/quote]
Funny you should bring that up. My former employee left to work for Intuit in the fall of 1994 (I just looked it up.), and one of the things they gave him was a shitload of market value options. They wouldn’t ordinarily vest for a couple years or more, but in Oct. 94 Microsoft tried to buy Intuit to get Quicken. Intuit stock shot up, and had the transaction closed, all his options would have vested. His take on the deal would have been well over $1M. Pretty good deal for a guy in his late 20’s. But alas, the DOJ said no go, MSFT can’t buy that winner. So his >$1M disappeared. At least for the moment. The stock is currently 20X higher than it was then, so I’m sure he’s made that money and much more since then. But that instant millionaire status would have been pretty nice for him back then.
