hello guys,

wanted to know, how can i invest in Apple Inc stocks, im looking for buying small stocks only and how much cash do i need to have for me to start.

cash for investment : 10K

i don't think 10k is enough to be honest.

not attempting to belittle you, but once you factor in, the fixed/variable brokerage fees et cetera, it might not be beneficial.

to make things worse, even remitting the money from the states over to your malaysian bank account will incur a fee.

Why Apple?

Why not others?

And really, RM 10k is peanuts if you investing overseas stock market. Invest in local stock market will bring better result. No?

at the current trend Apple is performing (profit after profit and rapid gain of market share), it is actually a good buy.

what is the solid reason apple will gain til USD1000? look at the momentum now, yeah good buy but when I look again, its already peak cycle. Which the question, what other fundamentals run tat support the next 650 % gain? wink.gif

you do not need to be a finance guru to figure why apple is a good buy.

the most recent GFC is a good predictor of apple IMHO.

it outperformed itself and its competitors and can definitely be classified as a 'recession proof' company.

for apple, it need market to get it level well, like apples product, apple apps. new stuff every 6 to 12 months..

while google, basically. its alrdy the search engine you need. Marketing, etc.. you dont need it but it make you like need it.
Its like buying tulips..do you need them? whistling.gif

i would say, it depends on your type of return preferences; whether it is dividend or capital gain (or both)

the way i look at it, apple has a lot of room to increase in share prices as opposed to google (IMHO of course)

Just wanna compare with FD... FD in 25 years (avg. 4% p.a.) you could double your money at least (not a good return but it's safe) smile.gif

find a way to obtain an australian tax file number (TFN) and place your money there.

lock it in term deposits for 6 months and obtain 6.41%

lucrative and risk-free.
