Apple for the long term is probably a good investment. They do need to continue pumping out new products that consumers like.
Most companies have a life cycle. Born, grow (sometimes to huge sizes) and many times they die.
Where are the buggy whip manufacturers? Will Kodak, Sears or Radio Shack be around in 3 years? What is the future of the Personal Computer? Who knows if we will need telephones in the near future?
I do know we will always need beer companies and prisons.
I am long Apple and I have brought many shares today. Apple paid a cash dividend payment of $3.29 per share on May 15, 2014. I have been into Apple since it went public on December 12, 1980 at $22.00 per share. I would get into it
Best of Luck
I've got many shares and have no plans on selling. AAPL has been very good to me over the years and I don't see why that should change.
Go to yahoo finance. Put AAPL in the inquiry box. When apple comes up, click on analyst opinion. Look at the recommendation trend chart. You can see how many analyst are following apple and what they are recommending.
The stock analysts are still calling it a moderate buy.
My thinking is apple is a good buy, because it is undervalued. However, the stock market is somewhat overextended. I'd wait for when the market pulls back to get into apple.
AAPL was up over $1.40 a share today, so if you bought some AAPL today, you are better off than yesterday
As Steve Stevens from VIP Sports( Money Talks) would say " You do like making money, don't you" anyway I like Apple
Hard to predict where the market is going.
What do you guys think? Is investing in the AAPL split good if you leave your money for several years? What is your prediction for AAPL
