a bite of the apple

I've never bought stock before, although I've wanted to join the game for a while. But as a novice, where would I begin?

After I made the switch from a PC to a Mac a few weeks ago (one of the best technological purchases I've ever made), I thought Apple could be a good stock to buy. I did a little research and even got on E-Trade yesterday afternoon to set up an account. If other obligations hadn't pulled me away, I probably would have bought. "Oh well," I thought, "I'll do it tomorrow...or next week." Unfortunately, I was completely unaware that Apple's 3rd quarter earnings were about to be released a few hours later.

And wouldn't you know - the results were great...for Apple.

Even though the price increased, the fruit still looks bright, juicy, and delicious, and it probably won't be long before I take a bite...
