That $10,000 would be worth $300,000 today but instead I have $0.

How long ago was that. I did have a financial advisor suggest Apple to me in 2000 or so based on the fact that they had survived the tech bubble and could likely rise again. Than again the same guy also claimed Nortel at over $120 a share might not be a bad buy. I do wish I'd taken his advice on Apple.
