I am considering buying Apple stock (aapl). What is a good price for this stock?

by ajstarks

I have researched the stock and it is now a “moderate buy” and is anticipated to have about a 10% gain this year. I like the new iMac and reckon that will be a huge plus for the company.

With this jumpy promote I was going to place in a buy with a promote limit. Any help would be appreciated.
I will be export only about 10 shares, if I buy any.

Answer by heart_and_troll
if you can watch the mkt, i wouldn’t really place in a limit order, i’d choose my limit price, and then watch – you might get a better export opportunity if it opens down huge (without excellent reason) one day. if you have a limit in there above it, it may very well get filled at a higher price, so watch out for that, if you can.

seems like a pretty excellent buy at current levels, but it has had a huge run.

go to vectorvest and you can get a free email report on the stock – with buy levels in it.

A stockbroker said it looked like a fantastic buy, four being ago, at $ 18.00 a share.

It already traded near $ 150.00, but has since sold off to around $ 119.00.

I wouldn’t buy anything now that the promote is in severe sell-off mode.

Had you bought “puts” on Apple when it surged ahead last month, you’d have made enough money to buy some shares during this crisis period we’re now in.

But who could have told us that the promote was going to sell-off?

Personally, I like the prospects for the Blackberry.

The stock of Research in Motion (RIMM) is still over $ 200.00 a share, and will split three for one soon.

Again, caution is what you need now.

When you feel the time is right, then just buy it at the promote price, but don’t buy too much, because you might be able to get more shares cheaper.

Should the housing debacle spill over to other companies, AAPL and many other solid looking companies may keep dropping.

I had to tell you this because I wanted to warn you.

If you have to question about an indivual stock on this site you should not be investing in stocks.

Answer by Common Sense
It’s fantastic that you’re considering export stock. Apple is a fantastic company, some would argue that it’s still overpriced at its current level.

I’m glad you did research. I hope you don’t consider advise from strangers (whose qualifications or motives can’t be checked) seriously.

It’s hard to find a excellent area of support that a stock (like Apple) has, considering how straight up its gone. A limit order is a excellent thought, a better thought might be a “buy stop”.
I’d suggest a “buy stop” at $ 133.50. In other words the “buy” won’t go through in anticipation of the stock hits that point. By a chart you can adjust that quantity down, as Apple stock goes down.

This may seem crazy, but…. it’s the way most professional traders look at an “entry”.

Hopefully “Apple” will be a very small part of your “asset allocation”. You wouldn’t want to lose a significant quantity of your assets.

$ 60 the Iphone is hacked over hyped and overpriced. Plus Stevie is STILL under investigation for the backdating options. Promote Limits are a MUST!

I’ve been a proponent of Apple stock but it’s been too pricey for me to get in with 100 shares. I’m looking at it as an investment for a year or two. Do you reckon we’ve reached the support level everywhere I should buy or do you reckon it will go even lower? Your thoughts and rationale would be greatly appreciated.

Answer by Nick Z
Whether the time is excellent or not to buy depends on how well the whole economy will do in the future. And the future nobody can tell you for sure.

Even if the company has excellent management and everything is going well. The company’s profits will decline, if the whole economy goes into a recession. And AAPL stock price may decline even more.

I reckon this is a fantastic time to accumulate AAPL. It showed a certain promotion climax signal with a huge bottom side doji at the vital 100MA support line and nicely poised right at the start of a possible promote spring back. This is defintely fantastic time to start your pool.

I reckon the whole apple thing is played out. They just had a HUGE run (90ish – 140!). The stock has then been settling and it’s nearly impossible to tell when it will bottom (that goes for the whole promote). As of now, I cannot recommend apple. But wait for everything to settle and I do believe you can pick them up at a very honest price once this whole terrible promote thing blows over.
I do believe google has taken a nice dip in price (550 – 487). 487$ a share is a very generous for this revenue MACHINE. Though there is still a lot of volitility in the promote, economy, etc. people still use the internet and google EVERYDAY no matter what! I see them hitting 600$ by second quarter next year.
