Apple shares

[costargh]

To give you an indication of just how far Apple has come in the last 5 years....

If you bought $100,000 worth of Apple shares 5 years ago (at aprox $10 a share)

your shares would now be worth $1.75 million

*phew*. I thought this was about me for a minute

AAPL has risen quite a bit over the months due to the announcement and release of the iPhone 3G.

I want to own some Apple shares, straight from the moment I complete the exams XD. I really don't care if I make a loss (if it occurs from taxes blah) because i'm not going to own alot and I'll have a fuzzy feeling that I have micro ownership of my equal 1st dream corporation XD

(lol imagine Steve Jobs owns like 1.1M shares or something )

[costargh]

LOL with that attitude to your finances, I'm sure you'll be very successful haha

Shit 198 mill for Jobsy!

This is a big IF/hypothetical (cause I don't think Jobs would have had that many shares 5 years ago) BUT for illustrations sake if Steve Jobs had 1.1 million shares 5 years ago they would have been worth aprox $11 million

Hmm so he transformed thar 11 mill into nearly 200 mill :|

lol. Um, costa where are you getting your figures from? Because the Apple Shares are worth $174.25

174.25 * 100,000  = $17,425,000 lol.


Cramer ("MAD MONEY" CNBC TV (btw thats a mad channel along with SKY business )) has recommended AAPL as the stock of the year of 2006 (can't remember) and many analysts have also. Also that's also created some support (buying) pressure.

(lol, i'm only going to buy 10-100 shares at the max lol, I'll hedge the risk of losses by my portfolio lol).

However, I will trade alot of AAPL securities over the CFD market (but that's not really owning lol) due to the HIGH leverage (50:1 or 100:1)

Not 100,000 shares. I said $100,000 worth of shares = 10,000 shares @ $10

174.25 * 10,000 = $1,742,500

I like this bit of that first link

"In a world where doubling your money ever 7 years is a wise investment, making over 50x your investment in ten years is crazy amounts of growth."

lol. FX markets on av. yield (expected value) 200% RoI in 3 months, if dealt correctly.

However, FX have the highest std. deviation of returns therefore are extremely risky. When I traded $10,000 on FX Markets, yielded a revenue of ~$100,000 but lost ~$75,000 (FUCKING USD/JPY, NZD/USD I MADE A BAD MOVE LOL) (of course very approximate figures) = $25,000 net profit.

Of course, FX markets should only be MAX 25% (typically 5-10%) of any investment portfolio to hedge risk. (arbitrage is good, you need to have a fair amount of risk-free profit for a nice portfolio).


lol @ the worth. I'm sorry, my mistake
