Assuming you have some spare cash laying around and would like to invest it, which one is the better investment? Assume no other choices. Both are in bear market territory.
I would do both because they are in different sectors. AAPL beat earnings, but I still won't buy it until they announce a new major product such as iTV. I will sell my call options tomorrow. If I had to pick one, I'd easily choose AAPL.
i bought aapl last week at 390.30. i may sell it for some quick profits tomorrow. i don't buy individual stocks as investments. these are my speculations.
i bought a nice pro grade printer for our photography so i bought apple the day it sold off to help defray the cost which if the after market prices hold i will have done..
Interesting movement after hours... went up 7% and now a tiny bit down due to lower guidance. It now has a 3% div yield though.
No kidding and the price movement pre-market today is even more interesting. Looks like the initial euphoria of the earnings beat was tempered by margins, forward guidance and little transparency for the product launch.
Aapl is on my radar; if it goes down to the 370's I'll look to buy to capitalize on a pretty good dividend and potential bump from new product launches hopefully Q3-Q4 and the markets had time to digest other noise around buyback, debt issuance, and Einhorn.

AAPL is becoming more of a dividend stock than a growth stock. I actually miss the days when they kept their cash. Tim Cook needs to be more aggressive or at least sound like it. I was hoping to hear a major product announcement or major aquisition. I want to see them break their down trend before I buy it again, but long term, I still think it's a safe buy.

I tell ya'. I'm convinced we're bouncing along a top. We really need a major correction before buying into any new longs. Also, I still think that if the gov wakes up and stops meddling we're gonna' see ~4000 on the DOW. More or less a flash crash but still a buying opportunity is a buying opportunity.
I think people now are at the delirious stage for Apple. They think it'll go up forever. It can't do anything wrong. Jobs, Cook, the ipad, tablets, they're all infallible.
-If you do some simple math of Apple's balance sheet....if they continue their past 5 year growth into the next 5 years, their revenue in 2018 would be $750 billion!!! LOL. Apple's revenue has gone up 5x, from $32 billion to $156, since 2008.
Net income has gone up 10x in the last 5 years. From $4.8 billion to $41 billion!!! That's crazy. Extrapolate that out, it's nuts.
Not to say they'll fall off the end of the earth, but at some point the numbers will stop going up so fast. They already have revenue equal to Microsoft, Intel and Cisco combined. About $170 billion, vs $156.
GLD will probably go up more long term (5-7 years). It seems like demand from overseas will inevitably rise gold (China, India?).
