I'm a PhD student. I've been buying since 2015, around £24,000. The first purchase was for around $113. I bought some more today at $181.

Well that would depend on the earnings per share in 2017495924 years time and the P/E multiple the market attaches to it trying to predict future earnings growth.

Did I say I was going to answer the question? LOL.

I guess it's a way of trying to extort more money out of the customer, it's good for shareholders, but morally wrong.

you come from a fairly well off background or do you just have a job that you use to buy the shares? also, if you sold all your shares today, do you know how much profit you'd make?

Would you ever buy an apple warranty, iphone, ipad or mac pc?

I have a macbook pro, ipad pro and iphone x. I love apple products, but they cost so much. So I just buy the shares instead.

Yes you could say my family is well off, but all these shares I bought with money I saved up from side jobs and phd bursary. I would get 116 x $184 = $21,334. Profit wise it must be around $3000

Judging how shady Edexcel have been so far, I wouldn’t be surprised if they jumped us with something like this lolol

I avoid all apple products, screens are very fragile and the charger port far too prone to cracking.

Apple is a cult. I'll have a look after 20 years if I want to sell.

On the stock market, through a broker. Apple is listed on the nasdaq stock exchange in the US.

I got a piggy back from my friend it fell on the floor and smashed on the first attempt. My LG which has a glass back has not once shattered and it's fallen on the floor multiple times.

First bought at $113, I bought 16 shares today at $181 because of a market sell off.

Where's your revenue growth going to come from? Iphones are going to be produced at a loss, jacking prices up in the near term. And Apple is paying $30,000,000 a month to Amazon for cloud services. I think Apple has a strong brand in the near term, but im not bullish on a 20 yr period. I would look to tech firms with a cloud offering. Google, Amazon are far better positioned in that time horizon.

Dunno man, planning to hold for the next 20 years.
