Abstract: 
Where is the most likely position for the last success in n events, if each event has the same probability Pr(A)? What is the probability for the last success? This situation assumes returning successes which is different to the stop waiting problem where a single best event is assumed. We set F. Thomas Bruss's theory into a simple probability framework and develop a decision rule for the last success. The results are applied to the Apple share prices.
