I L O V E Apple products... but that doesn't mean I can love owning the shares (I DO NOT).... because it's a lot of money tied up per share --- and the dividend is paltry. I just can't justify tying that kind of cash up even if the shares have GROWTH. I need the income...


And then we have today -- where they announced numbers AFTER the market... and note the RED after hours number. OUCH!


That by the way - does not mean it will trade up or down tomorrow during regular hours --- after hours trades usually are very few --- takes too much explanation here --- and isn't important... but you can feel the pain!

Now ---- it's been UP about 25% last year --- so you'd still be far ahead if you'd bought a year ago




550.50 +4.43 (0.81%)
After Hours: 506.04 -44.46 (-8.08%)
