Just bought 1000 shares of Ford, 800 Pepsico, 100 Apple. Cant go wrong with those ipad sales, they have sold out of the pre orders and expect to sell 8 million this year alone. Also they are going to release the new iphone in june that everybody just has gotta have. So go buy Apple products people and a Ford car or truck to boot!

I am going to buy Ford on the next sell off even though I don't own one and probably never will. I am a Honda guy. Apple is already at its peak right?

With a multi billion share offering coming from the gov,I would stay well clear of C, as for AIG,it is a zombie enterprise staying afloat by selling off body parts,not a positive business model. Two small caps I like are ASEI and IDCC,just my two cents.Good Luck

not a big fan of Apple, they are on top now but I cant see them being their forever. Their main sell was their OS and while many still prefer it over what MS offers, MS is now competing to consumers and still has businesses on lockdown. If Apple can ever find a way into the business world (software and hardware) they will own the world, but I dont see that happening.

With pep's dividends I like that one though. I see Ford as a safe bet too

Apple is a consumer electronics business not a computer company. They do have an interesting offer for the corporate business given their seamless integration down to the Iphone but have done very little to develop in that direction. As a consumer electronics company, they are very dependent on bringing a continual stream of innovative and desirable products to market. That is very hard in the long-term as Sony found out and there are plenty of good companies willing to play copycat with what they have already which will, eventually, squeeze profit ,margins.

And I say the above as a very satisfied Apple customer.

Well well well I guess I was right about AAPL!! It was almost like I had inside information about the Verizon deal. Couldnt have timed it any better.

But then again if it doubles in price I'll only make 15,000 or so with just 100 shares. Im really hoping on Ford.
