<snip> A bunch of you are bailing out during this dip. Do you really think that's the right thing to do?? Am I missing something? :confused:

A bunch of them may have SAID they were bailing out. There's a difference between that and a confirmation slip in hand, and it's called reality distortion field.

I'm glad I got on board when I did (last week). I just wish I had purchased a bunch. Today would have been a good day to bail, and have some spending cash. Based on the price where I purchased, the price it closed today, and how much cash I have laying around, I could have made a grand in just under a week.
 
Buying stock in the UK

I am keen to buy some shares in AAPL, maybe about £1500 but live in the UK. Anyone any idea what the best (cheapest) online broker into use? I am not going to want to have to do so many trades a month and don't want a monthly admin fee or inactivity fee. Just a one-off fee for this trade and the share certificate sent to me-is that possible?
Thanks

Hi, i use http://www.iii.co.uk who have a £15 flat fee for all trades on US stocks. But not using online services to buy many stocks I'm not sure which website is best. It might be worth going into your bank and finding out what they charge if you just plan on buying them and holding them for a year or so.

Hope that helped, I'm sure a bit more googling would yield further results
 
Cheers Guys,
I'll look into the possibilities mentioned when I get the chance. I'm going to hold out for a bit longer and see which way the stock goes.
