How high will APPL go?
 

I want to get in
Did I wait too late?

I sold when they were at 280 :(

Buy Microsoft now.

The dividend they'll be spitting out is trivial compared to the one T (AT&T) has been paying me for years. In 8 years time, the stock "paid for itself" in dividend payments. Now it's all gravy for me.

Look into AT&T (slightly overpriced right now, load up at 28, and buy the farm at anything under 25) for dividend investment.

For growth, I don't see Apple hurting you in the short term (too much buzz and hotness behind it right now), but any long-term investing in Apple should be HEAVILY hedged and diversified against.

stop spitting out this well thought out strategy stuff! there is only one stock in the market right now and it is aapl!! hehe

Whew, that makes stock picking a lot easier! Good idea on the market's part to cut it down to a single security. :1orglaugh

I appreciate the input thank you. If you do not mind what % does att pay you out in dividends?

Check is for less than $20k per quarter. I don't know the exact number, but I'll try to remember to look tomorrow. Currently in bed. Easy data to find out though if you Google.

Finger slip. Less than 10k.

I ditched my old iphone and got the galaxy s2 instead of iphone 4s because of this video.

Ok not just because of that video, but it helped. I am happy to say I am so far 6 months apple free. :1orglaugh

its way too late to consider an "investment" in apple, AKA a long term buy & hold strategy. Reason being is that, at a 500 billion market cap, there is not much upside growth left.

A long term growth holder seeks the "10 bagger" or to sell at 10 times the buy price 30 years down the road. Warren buffet was a genious at picking 10 baggers & sitting on them.

if you got apple in 2005 then you wouldve had a 10 bagger today. Now, apple would need a 5 trillion dollar market cap to achieve such a return. Apple will never sell so much product as to be worth 5 trillion dollars.

you are also facing a company that, as time goes on, grows farther & farther away from the influence of Jobs. An apple engineer is already screaming that the new apple TV interface is one that was rejected by Jobs.

Right now, apple benefits from short term market leadership in smartphones & tablets. Their outsized market share is unsustainable in such competitive tech sectors. Its just a matter of time that apple settles down as other firms produce the same product for a lot cheaper.

swing trade this bitch for quick returns. dont buy & hold.

:2 cents:

looks like this is what they paid

on a stock that is around $30

Oh it says it here


Div. Yield:

5.54%

It will hit $650 with the release of the iPhone 5 and close around $680 by end of year with a few spikes but never getting over $700.

Around Nov all stocks will begin to plummet as idiots will think the world is going to end and pull out their money and not buy shit.

Trust me :winkwink:

Sooo anyone going to buy in during the drop?

Probably a good time to get in is when the Double Dig recession flattens the Dow. My bet is within 9 to 12 months. Of course, this only makes sense if the price of full-featured Android phones and normal sized tablets don't crater to meet the lowered price point expectation.
