January 16, 201313 yr Good rule of thumb. Most aggressive when you are young, get more conservative as you near retirement. Common sense I know, but lots of people ignore. Currently, I am about 60/40.
January 16, 201313 yr Author Let's be clear so that a new investor doesn't get confused. There are all types of mutual funds including those that aggressive growth funds (ie they hold growth stocks). So I think we should be a little more descriptive when we say "funds" or "mutual funds." I am 100% invested in individual stocks. I'm not a big mutual fund person.
January 16, 201313 yr Didn't pull the trigger, down to 486 now. I think it's going lower still. Have you taken any profits out at any point Clyde? I saw one analyst report that said price support is in the 425-450 range.
January 16, 201313 yr Author And about what percent are in taxable versus tax deferred accounts? 80% tax deferred/IRA
January 16, 201313 yr Did the Apple investors trying to time a buy miss the bottom? AAPL back over 500. News reports are out that iphone sales were good and that the iphone is still the preferred choice for 50% of those planning to buy soon, countering what was published in the Wall St. Journal on Monday.

One more more reason why I buy a company I like when the price seems like a good value.
January 21, 201313 yr Author Google Facts @GoogleFacts You think you're having a bad day? Remember this: In 1976 Ronald Wayne sold his 10% stock in Apple for $800! Now its worth $58 Billion.
January 21, 201313 yr I just recently read about him. It seems like when he set up the company he did it as a partnership because no one thought it would lead to anything and that was the easiest way to go. Their entire market was boards to a small group of enthusiasts. When Jobs got the first order for complete computers they needed to borrow $20,000 for parts and operating expenses. In a partnership all partners are equally responsible for the debts and since Wayne was the only one with assets, he was on the hook for the entire $20,000 even though he only owned 10%. He got out for the $800 and a few months later when Apple reorganized and brought in more equity they paid him another $2,500 for any and all claims. Wayne continued to work for the company and designed the first logo and had something to do with the Apple II.

January 23, 201313 yr Apple numbers out, with flat earnings and what will likely be seen as a disappointing guide. Shares tumble 5%. http://t.co/sx9tgaGV Netflix is up 25% in AH trading on its earnings report.
