Awesome. My sister got me $50 in Apple stock as a gift last week, pretty clever lol. I’ll hold on and invest more.
Got a tip for us?

That 'balloon' could be a bubble, that will eventually burst. Time will tell.
$50?!? How did you get 1/6th of a single stock? I didn't think you could do that.
Stock market goes up and down, and I'm actually hoping for a healthy correction. But AAPL at 25 P/E, with this kind of massive mind share and power, bubble is certainly not.

stocks arent something you buy today and sell after 10 years. psychological temptation its always present. dont trust that popups on webpages (guy with a lambo or ferrari), its more complicated than u can think. if u want to invest on stocks, that you're sure will go up (but u cant never be sure) then buy them, and go on a desert island, or tibet, anctartica, jail, where u're 100% sure u cant check whats going on with your portfolio, otherwise u'll 100% screw something. and dont use leverage!

With an app called Stockpile, you can gift people a $50 code of any stock you want and redeem it when signing up for an account. I think they call it ”fractional shares”
They’ll claim Cook should be fired because he only cares about stock price, and not about bringing out “this or that” product that Apple apparently needs to survive and keep customers happy.
Apple is still living off of the legacy left by Jobs.
At least they are living well off it. And by extension, so are most of the customer-base.

He deserves the title absolutely!
Yep, in 2005 I just really liked Apple stuff, so signed up for etrade and made my first stock purchase. I really had no clue about what analysts thought and such.
I agree, but I just sit long term. I don't see Apple going anywhere for the next decade.
Switching to another OS its not like changing underwear brand. We have accounts synced on various devices, apps that costed $, the famous apple ecosystem etc. We buy apple products (and we will continue to buy them) because we like it, but also means that we are forced to buy it. i'll stick with iphone 8 until it deads because i dont like big phones. i watch movies on my 82" screen with home theatre so i dont need a big screen on a phone. i can read message or browse internet even on a smaller (and portable) phone beacuse im not blind yet. i dont even need THREE cameras because i hate photography so why i should spend 1500€ for a a BIG phone with 3 cameras, where these "features" are FLAWS for me??? because when i broke/lose my iphone 8, my only solution will be the iphone 11pro (smallest iphone available at the moment). i hate the fact apple thinks SSD's was released yesterday and they can sell them as option for ridicolous amounts. macbook air still mounts 128gb ssd's! i think only few manufacturers still sell such small ssd's! 500gb its almost the entry level right now. i hate new macbooks have the "feature" to be powered with any button of just by onpening lid. and many many other things. but again, i have the new macbook air and the new imac 2019 (with a TB3 samsung X5 ssd!!!) because i dont have any other choice. resuming, steve jobs was the pusher with 100% pure cocaine that got us addicted, cook is the pusher than sell us s..t as we are already addicted and we will buy it anyway regardless of the quality
That’s what it’s all about. The ECOSYSTEM.Nice
iPhone 11 Pro Max, Apple Watch 5, AirPods Pro & MacBook Pro 16” — let's be honest — nobody can compete with this ecosystem.
Not in at $5, but my average cost is $34.09 so I am a happy camper. When it tanked last December, I bought more, though I wish I had waited till it bottomed, but folks on here were laughing at me for buying more at $199. Overall I am up 780% in 10 years!
Of course I take this as justification to buy just about any Apple gear I want. They've been very good to me.
Being an election year, I am thinking of dumping some later as the market generally gets manipulated by the politics in an election year, and I can see it being even worse with the "crisis a minute" mindset of the media these days.
I check my stocks all the time constantly and consistently get good trades. Anyway aside from that don't use leverage? I bought a good majority of my Apple shares using leverage when the stock was trading between $160 and $180. You can use leverage to back up the truck and add when things are way undervalued. You need to be committed to paying it back religiously even if it doesn't work out for you.
Leverage is a very effective way to produce great gains. $20,000 into Apple became $40,000. I got "lucky" but when AAPL was trading at those discounts I would have used my grandmother as collateral. I still am paying off the leverage but still don't want to sell. I would rather take the pain and buy the rest out with my cost average below $200.
As Cramer says you don't trade AAPL you accumulate it.

I don't own stock - wish I did - but this is one of the most ridiculous comments. Define "successful"
Apple Watch is probably the biggest announcement under Cook. It's now the most popular wearable in such a short period of time.
