The volatility/manipulation thing that's been mentioned really ties into the point I was trying to make, as well - no company's stock, no matter how secure, is risk proof.
Apple in particular swings a lot for something with such a large market cap, even though the overall trend is up.
That has *always* been a really good strategy; buy what you know, like and use!

Part of owning apple stock, however, is not about making money. It's about owning a piece of a company whose products you enjoy and whose innovation you want to support.
