Dog Cashes In Apple Stock From 1989
Dog Cashes In Apple Stock From 1989
A golden retriever named Dillinger has sold 100 shares of Apple, Inc. that his father purchased in 1989. The total value? $101,589.
“Apple is frequently in the running as the most valuable company in the world,” says Harry Coors, a tech biz analyst with The Wall Street Journal. “Anyone who has held on to stock from the early days stands to make a pretty penny.”
Dillinger’s dad bought the shares for a paltry $40.25, and willed them, along with other financial assets, to Dillinger when he was just a pup.
“He was pretty savvy when it came to investing in hot young companies,” says Marcy Grey, a friend of the family. “He stuck with Apple through the good times and the lean times. What a pay day for D.”
Sources close to the dog say he plans to take a little vacation and invest the rest of the money in real estate.

Kitten Piano Virtuoso to Play Carnegie Hall
In August, Gwendolyn the kitten will make history by becoming the first cat ever to play legendary Carnegie Hall in New York City.
The kitty piano virtuoso has been wowing audiences around the country since playing to a standing ovation on the Ellen TV show a few months ago.
“She’s just a stunning talent,” said Jaclyn Crowe, editor-in-chief of Ivory Cats magazine, the only magazine dedicated to piano playing cats. “In my 13 years editing this magazine, I have only come across one other cat with her skill: Keyboard Cat.”
We all know how that one turned out.
