It was a series of investments that started around 2 years ago.

DNDN - In at around $4/share, dumped some at $8ish, some at $16, and the rest in the mid $20s. Here's the chart.

Then, after taking out my initial investment, bought a bunch of GM $1 June puts when it was trading at $3 and flipped them for about a 50% profit.

I took a bit more of it off the table, put some of it towards LVS (Las Vegas Sands) at $8 and the rest towards HGSI (another biotech) at around $4. Sold the HGSI a month later at around $25 and put everything into AAPL at around $170. It's at $337 now. I had to sell some of it for taxes last year, but still have a fair amount. I've also sold covered calls on it every other month for some extra money.

I sold the LVS for $25 this past summer when long term gains kicked in and put it into EEM (an emerging market ETF). It's up about 10% and I also sell covered calls on it.

The most impressive part, though, for me at least, is that I haven't spent any of it except for what I had to take out for taxes. I'm also in the middle of 91 weeks of $400 unemployment checks. lol
