I think it's a good long buy.

Like many I've been trying to figure out how to capitalize on the energy market. Fortunately I have two that have done well.

NOV National Oilwell Varco is up about 30% in less than 6 months.
EOG EOG Resources is up about 17% in about a month.

APPL hit a record high of $665 today.

One analyst thinks it will hit $900.

Housing market improved a bit in summer - Economy Watch

Existing home sales rose 2.3 percent last month, with sales rising to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of to 4.47 million units, up from 4.37 million units in June, the National Association of Realtors said Wednesday. That was just below analysts' expectations of a 4.52 million-unit rate. Sales were 10.4 percent above the 4.05 million-unit pace in July 2011.

Low interest rates and a modest improvement in the labor market helped home buying conditions, the NAR said.

Assuming the economy recovers and we all don't die in 2012, this financial meltdown is really going to help me personally in the long run. I''m in the process of doing a REFI on my home for 15 years at 2.875%. Never would have thought I could get a home loan rate that low. It's going to say me tons of money in the long run.

Based on the result of the suit against Samsung as well as the predicted success of the 5 APPL has hit a new high. Currently at $677.

So glad Samsung got hammered for stealing from Apple. Fine should of been 5 BB.

Sales of the IPhone 5 will be the big key coming up.

Apple hits another All-Time high today, now sitting at

683.09
+13.30 (1.99%)
After Hours: 683.20 +0.11 (0.02%)

APPL closed at $691. Now I'm getting to the point where I have to think about how best to grow the pot.

Let's say APPL goes up $10 per share soon. That's only a 1.4% growth rate. Do I sell and put the total in another stock(s) that have higher growth potential?

What to do???

Netflix is down 45.47% for me and I'm still in the green overall.

You still holding? It's down another 20% since this post.

I think that will pay off in the future. Might be an opportunity to add some more.

My biggest debate now isn't around Netflix. It's around Apple. Can I cash in and do better with my money than I can from this point on with Apple? If it goes up $50 that's only an 8% gain. My guess is there are others out there than can top that.

I'd agree, keep a small position out of your profits possibly but move on to other things.
