Remember how Forrest says Lt. Dan got him to invest in some company over fruit? Specifically, Forest says: “I no longer worked with Lt. Dan, but he took care of my money. He made me invest money in some company through fruit. Then he called me and told me that we have already taken care of the money.” At that moment, Forrest pulls out of the mailbox an envelope containing a letter to the company's shareholders Apple Computer. One of the iconic scenes of the film, which has become an integral part of the history of cinema, has another dimension. The film Forrest Gump premiered on October 20, 10. What if you also invested in a fruit company on your way home from the cinema that day? Applu? That year was Apple relatively high by the standards of the time, and it would have been much better to wait a year or two before investing, but let's base it on the premiere of the film.

On the way from the cinema, you go to the bank and invest $1000 from your account into Apple Computer. If you were, for example, 30 years old at the time, you could realistically have saved that much money, even though it was, for example, a year's salary in the Czech Republic at that time. If you had spent the entire time AppThey didn't invest anything anymore and just stopped by the bank today, 30 years later, to withdraw what they had saved for retirement. Apple earned during that time, you would have $581 in your hand, which is over 712 million crowns. So listening to Forrest at that time really paid off. But let's be realistic, you probably weren't in the US at the world premiere of the film at that time. It is much more likely that you watched it in 13 during the TV premiere in the Czech Republic on ČT 2001. If you had taken your $1 at that time and put it in AppHey, you're in a lot better shape than those who did it on the way home from the cinema, because today the value of your shares would be $715, or over 000 million crowns.
