Make sure you include the cost to buy/sell your share of Apple as well as adjust it for risk. Anyway, that's your lost opportunity cost of capital, but your prior post mentioned Hillbank is earning interest from your money. They're not.

Back to the topic. Cancel your order if you need the money, but you must realize that sometimes parts are out of stock and they sometimes take a long time to manufacture since there's a possibility that the manufacturer will wait until they have enough orders to run a bunch instead of just one.

I remember when my engine was being built. I had to wait 1-2 months because Erson was all out of stock on their roller rockers arm assemblies. This is life. We wait in line.
