Look how Apple has taken off in recent weeks. I don't know whether to be excited or brace myself for a downfall. They're leasing more property which I believe is a good thing. I wished they would pay a diviend to go with the steady rise in price.

I just finally broke down and bought an apple phone...You guys win...I was so cheap, i used my Blackberry until it turned into a raisin, 5 years. Talk about money's worth..

But what did I buy ? APPLE...

I'm debating on an iPhone also. I wish I was able to own more than the measely 6 shares I have now. They start paying a dividend and I might have to see if I can squeeze a couple more shares out of what little money I have.

Do as Greg says..Spread it around.

Earlier I spoke of KMP being up a dollar...well , it is up 1.30 right now !!!

I don't have as many skills....But I am working on it.

Put your money to work...The housing thing will lay on it's face for a long time..Time enough to get ready and do the house thing. they won't let it recover.

I never was Apple guy....Stupid me...

I've got what I consider to be a small but decent portfolio. As the money (dividends, gains) start to come in it will be reinvested and I will slowly add to it. KMP is one of my holdings.

Very Nice.. You will profit greatly down the road, as I believe , even witht the lateast run up to 13,000, that in a longer span, things are still on sale...

and we get paid while they move around, and then up

It's all about the PERCENTAGE return on your money... doesn't make any difference what the share price is -- 10% growth is 10% growth...

Don't try to buy "more" just because they're winners now -- don't get led down that path... DIVERSIFY. Look at your gains -- kiss them - write 'em down on a piece of paper and sleep with them under your pillow... but don't let GREED talk you into more of a good thing... That strategy will turn around and bite you. You set your limits - and stick to them.

Repeat after me --- BALANCE.... it's all about BALANCE....

Ah Chichawa .

Told you folks.. Me...400 shares....So little guy pay attention...Up 400 dollars and waiting on the dividends...

35 grand making 400 dollars today, and dividends all the time..

Just to give the regular guy the idea of a much smaller scale for reference..

But spread it around like he says...We tend to want to buy more of the hot thing and we lose the safety /risk balance....

don't do it..
