Omg. I hope some of you who were thinking about investing in Apple actually followed through on that.
I bought some Apple shares 3-4 months ago(?) at $69, and it's already up to $124 today.
That's a $55 increase per share in just a few months!
I bought more shares a month ago; and I just bought more this week.
Even if Apple were 'only' to increase 20% from this week's price, that's still a ton better than any savings account or certificate of deposit.
I think Apple stock will be a safe bet for a good while.
The only thing that could significantly mess up that scenario, imo, would be another terrorist attack on the US.
I have a Roth IRA account with Charles Schwab; and a normal investment account (i.e. 'not' an IRA) with TD Ameritrade.
So, if you have *still* been sitting on your a$$ / a$$ets, get busy and set up an investment account with a good brokerage that has an office near you.
You'll need to go in to set up the account and deposit some money into it. Buy some Apple shares while you are there, so they can help you do it.
Maybe even call ahead of time and ask what time of the day/week they aren't very busy. Then they'll have more time to devote to you.
