There are expert traders who can do even better on AAPL, like coy, for example, but if you look at the six year chart you can see that B&H works superbly. It's the kind of stock we should just drip into, because the payoff long term is amazing.
Since you're a systems admin, you'll get a kick out of the new Apple ad, which Steve shows at the end of the keynote. If you don't want to watch the whole keynote, just go to near the end and watch that ad. It's a gem. On second thought watch the beginning and the end, because he gives the numbers at the beginning and the Intel ad near the end:
Speaking of money, I've made and lost many millions in the market and I started this year with a debit overall. Scary. I've been terrified by my finances, truly!
But these ten days this year have paid off very well for me and I have a decent start again. A stake I hope I can build to the savings I very badly need to have right now. Let's hope PBLS continues to move well. It's doing great.
I almost never give stock advice, but since you brought it up, and I'm extremely immersed in it at the moment, I have to endorse AAPL for the long term. The record is astonishing. The earnings they pre-announced yesterday for full release on the 18th after the bell, are astonishing, too. And there's sure to be a stock split soon.
I know it's trading over 83 in the Pre Market now, but if you can't do shares, consider call options, or even leaps.
