This guy in the UK bought his son a bottle of Macallan Scotch as a birthday gift from the time he was born.... spending £ 5,000 over 28 years.
Now the son has them up for sale for £ 40,000 .
Is that a good investment ?
I’m wondering what $5,000 shares of Apple from 1992 would be worth today ...
A man whose father gave him 18-year-old whisky every year for his birthday is selling the collection to buy a house.
Matthew Robson, from Taunton, was born in 1992 and over the course of his life his father Pete has spent about £5,000 on 28 bottles of Macallan single malt.
The collection is now worth more than £40,000 and has been put up for sale.
The 28-year-old said it "probably wasn't" the best gift for a young boy but with "strict instructions never to open them" they had become a nest egg.

Apple was at about $1.00 in 1992
So 5,000 shares would now be worth how much today ?
That's why I keep telling people. Alcohol is the solution to all your problems. They try to lock me up in this rehab center, but they just don't get it.
