No kidding... melgross has to be walking on water right about now... and I ain't feeling no pain, either...
yeah... $4.91 yesterday and $5.58 today to put it at $132.75...
Last I picked up a handful of AAPL it was at $90... Just picked up a handful of CLWR (Clearwire) recently in anticipation of widespread WiMax rollouts and Google possibly getting into wireless in a big way... it's coming.
I'm very tempted to buy some Apple stock, but I don't even know where to begin. Anybody got any recommendations for where and with whom to open an account?
I've never bought a single stock, except indirectly through my 401(k) and some stock options via past employers.

I started out buying mutual funds initially, and they are still a good lower-risk way to get into things. Unfortunately, with all the insane hype around AAPL these days, I think the perception that it's a "golden" stock could get a lot of new or amateur investors burned in a huge way.
Buy risky stocks, but also buy safe stocks, and never put down more money than you can afford to lose.
Mel? Maybe you could dole out some good advice.

Last I picked up AAPL it was... let's see... adjust for two splits, and... oh, somewhere between $10 and $11. And that was the expensive batch I bought.

Heh, heh. Well, my original batch of AAPL I bought at $13 (best I can recall). Unfortunately, I didn't have the foresight to buy as much as I could, and instead I also bought what used to be considered "safe" stocks like Microsoft and AT&T. Major error.

Depends on whether or not you need to talk to a broker I guess. I'm online only with Schwab... used to use e-trade until they botched an order for me.

I picked up some clearwire too. It's up $2 since I bought it and I've not had it a week.
I agree that WiMAX is the next big thing for mobile handhelp computing, which the iPhone is IMO.
Damn Apple has been a tough stock for me. I had bought some at $80. When Leopard was delayed and rumors were swirling of an iPhone delay, I put a stop loss order in at $90. It triggered and was sold. Turns out that was a buying opportunity. I'm back in at $120, but with less shares.

Why the hell are you still working? You must love your job or are boinking the boss.

He forgot to mention that he only bought $100 worth.

When AAPL hit $90 not too long ago, it felt like the last big buying opportunity for me for a while... I just got lucky on that one.

Yes, but you locked in some profit and it didn't cost you money...just the opportunity to make a more money. At 120 you're still looking pretty good today and a another stop will net you another profit again should it go south.
Like casinos, it doesn't matter how much you make but how much you walk away with. Someone with stops is far more likely to be a disciplined investor that makes money even in a down market.
