Fidelity for me. 7.95/transaction. Bought in at APPL @ $128. Hopefully I can get my $ back. It went as low as $90 in the last 4 months. When do you guys pullout?

Do you believe that Apple can sustain modest growth in the long term?

I just moved my 401K distributions over to a couple of funds (Fidelity) that are gaining ~15% all year. Maxed my contributions as well. A bit of a money grab. I'll let it ride till EOY.

So you were the one that bought Apple at $128.00?

Their product sales are slumping this year. But the good news is they have like 6 trillion zillion dollars tucked away. Berkshire bought a big chunk as well-so that bodes well for the long term.

I was looking at this stock but chose not to since they pay such a measly dividend. Still wish I would have got in at $90.0 for the small rebound. :-)

I have no idea. Don't know how to read charts and such so use Analyst price targets as well as personal observations and articles. At the time. APPL was riding high and targets were talking $140-$170 range. Seems like soon as I bought it went down. It is rebounding due to Buffett. Hopefully it'll keep going with the release of Iphone 7 coming soon.

Is your goal to maximize the reward for what you've risked or to get a sustainable return on investment?

If you're looking into doing some serious, chart based trading, I would look at Tradestation or Interactive Brokers.

If you are wanting to be less active but still "play the market" I would go with Fidelity though I dislike their charting software.

I use Fidelity as I have manage my IRA there and I have pretty much resorted to trading mutual funds on a long term basis for various reasons which I would be more than happy to discuss in detail.

Why don't you take some time and learn to read charts? It's not difficult and there are a ton of books out there that will explain how to do it.

AAPL is looking fairly bullish on a long term basis. Just like any other stock, as long as the market doesn't tank, you should get a run back to $130. I see a lot of bullish divergences on that chart.

Note the higher low on the MACD vs. a lower low on the price. That's a strong indicator of a bottom.

Along with the the MACD breaking above the 0 line as well. However, if the market stalls here as a whole, you probably are looking at the high of a trading range. On a short term basis AAPL is definitely overbought and hitting some resistance but that is also the behavior of a trend beginning too. I'd say if you break above $112 it will be a good sign of a strong run.

Heading into Sept and Oct with an election coming up could stall the entire market though.

Because there's tons of charts and data that could be used for charting. Don't have the attention span to decrypt through the bullshit. I just want to The Walking Dead to not have seasons and to run like the soaps and not have to worry about charts while my money grows.

Probably about to become a slum lord again soon as I know that's a sustainable return.

Slum lord is a good way to go.

So is mindlessly investing in very low cost index funds (or ETFs, as you prefer) on a systematic basis. That approach gives you diversification and participation with relatively minimal effort. You're not trying to time the market, and you're not trying to outperform the market in general. Basically, market returns for as little cost as possible.

Curious what folks think about Robo-Advisors like Wealthfront?

Then just put your money in an SP500 fund and some bond funds and be done with it.
