AAPL has their earnings out after the close today, 01-21-09, so there should be some volatility. The stock could go any direction or both directions and move 10-18 points.
Longer term I would not be surprised if AAPL runs down to $50 share unless they can maintain stellar earnings, strong future guidance quarter after quarter. I think $50 is more likely than $200.
Steve Jobs is prob out due to his health condition and that may have a more serious future impact on the stock if they don't have new creative products and earnings and demand to match. I'm sure they will have new products, but I don't know if that will be on the same scale when Jobs was running the company.
I would not suggest to begin trading, or buying individual stocks. Most people lose money buying individual stocks because their don't understand what they are doing.
What I might suggest is to start Dollar Cost Averaging on a bi-monthly basis in the S&P 500 Index using a Roth IRA after maxing any 401(k) sponsored plan first. Do this for 15-20 years.

The rules have changed what was once deemed safe no longer is. Banks once considered one the safest places to invest in are down to a fraction of their highs and you cannot expect to receive any dividends from them.
The only advice I would ever give is it is a gamble and never gamble more than you can afford to lose. But with the stock market so low now is a good time to start. Have some fun but remember you can lose. |

I would invest. Most people that are tell you not to have been in the stock market and o not maintain their investments. A good rule of thumb is to do one hour of homework per week per stock to make sure that the company is good. If a person invests in a solid company, AAPL is s great one with huge sums of cash on hand and still great thinkers to maintain their market share, the stock going down will only make them buy more. People like to invest their money and forget about it. This is a huge mistake because it can cause people to lose a lot of money like they did with the bank. If people would have looked at their balance sheets they would have realized that they were going down. |

I'm waiting for a few months of upward trend before going in again.
Your time would be best spent by going to http://finance.yahoo.com/p?k=pf_99
and setup a few test portfolios under My Portfolio. Then watch the stocks move to see if your ideas work.
http://finance.google.com/finance
has a great stock screener next to its Get Quotes button. It will very quickly screen all of the stocks for your criteria. I like to screen for price growth over the last 12 months.
If after several weeks of doing that, you may gain the confidence to put your own money into the market. |

Why not invest in a mutual fund instead. That way you're not putting all your eggs in one basket. The way companies have been going under, you won't feel the impact of a poor investment quite as much in a mutual fund as you will if you're 100% invested in one company. |

1.Make sure that the firm or the stock broker you are dealing with is a registered and legally vibrant mediocre.
2.Plan the investments to be made depending on the expected future trends and invest accordingly.
3. Try and make the payments through banks rather than cash payments as it helps to get better assurance of the broking firm or the individual broker.
4.When the market is fluctuating and you are not sure to trade it or not, it is useless to trade. Do not trade for consistency or under pressure. Always trade when you are comfortable to invest thoroughly. Also, try and reduce the risk as far as possible by avoiding stagnant and volatile markets.

Ask the following question to the Yahoo community in Business/Investment:
"What is the best stockbroker in the USA for a first time investor and why"
Don't forget to include where your from in the question (USA, Australia, UK etc.)
If you're interested in Tech stocks I think IBM is better. I don't think Apple even pays dividends. IBM does. Read the following:
http://www.reuters.com/article/ousiv/idUSTRE50J7HQ20090121
Other than the dividend factor, both IBM and Apple made more net profit in 2008 than 2007, so they're both good companies to invest in. |
