That is the dumbest idea ever. Buying into a stock when it's at its all time high price. Had you bought in 2 weeks ago, you coulda grabbed it at $126, you woulda benefited from the huge psychological drawdown caused by confused investors. AAPL is a great stock, but whatever raised it to that price has already been factored into the price. Do you expect the value of AAPL to increase to $160 or $200? If so, how long would that take? |

The true question here is, what other stocks do you have in your portfolio and are you diversified? If you don't have much money in the market, putting such a large amount in any one stock makes no sense, regardless of what the stock is. I like AAPL, but would wait for a pullback before buying. |

What does the rest of your portfolio look like?
I agree with the other poster though, foolish! |

lets see the glorified overhyped, overpriced iphone has been hacked, they are relying on their mac sales, AND Daddy Stevieis still under SEC Investigation.
50k on this good one swifty. Better have a stop order on it when it comes down. |

I am not a specialist, but it is really a dumb idea to invest huge amount of money to just one firm.
Just diversify it - choose more companies, some of them with bigger risk, some of them with smaller. It is called "portfolio" - try to google it :) |

i would look for value elsewhere like aey,asfi,dxpe,smtx,skx
to mention a few. do some fundamental homework first. |

Well it depends on how much money you can risk. THere's always a certain amount of risk in the stock market. What if the stock market crashes and you lose every penny. Will you be angry, sad, or have any regrets. If you say yes to any or those then it's not a good idea. Invest have ever much you feel comfortable with. AAPL is a very good stock and I have all the confidence in the world for it. But I can't afford to drop that much money into it. I wish I could. G/L |

its probably not a bad idea. the others who laugh at you cause the pps is trading near its all time high are irrelevant. the pps will probably go much higher as future generations of the iphone roll out, ie cheaper and more units sold.
imo if you really want to see your 50k grow buy elan, symbol eln. their alzheimer drug aab 001 is rolling into p3 as we speak. wyeth is their 50/50 partner on it and this drug imo will alter the face of the medical landscape forever. keep an eye on eln, even goldman sachs cant wrap their minds around where this pps is heading. |

I disagree to a point with the others. Apple is a strong company and does not show any major flaws as of now. To say that investing in Apple now is the dumbest idea ever is a bit short sighted. Many people said the same thing about google when it was at $200, and now it's sitting at over $500. Price of a stock alone should never be a key factor in whether or not you decide to invest in it. You must look at the P/E, previous growth, forcasted growth, debt, equity, assets, management, etc.
Apple has a P/E of about 40 compared to the industry average of about 30, this makes the price look a little inflated, but if you take into account that it's quarterly revenue growth was 23.8% compared to an industry average of 3.3%, then you can understand why Apple comands a premium price.
Overall If $50,000 is a large sum of money for you then I'd suggest you reconsider placing it all in Apple. It's never good to have all of your eggs in one basket. I however wouldn't discourage someone from adding Apple to a well diversified portofolio. Most of all do your homework before you invest. |
