300 by next year? You're saying that their market cap will be 1.8 trillion next year? No way that will happen. They would need HUGE earnings quarter after quarter for a long time. I just don't see it.

Anyways, you can't make a lot of money on $100 stocks since you can't really buy that many shares unless you got a huge bankroll to play with. I'd rather buy low priced stocks with big growth potential.

The number of share you buy of a stock does not change how much you can make/loose.

What is important is the % change of the total money that you invest.

It does not matter if you buy 1000 shares at $ 50 Or......buy 5000 shares at $10. This would be a $ 50,000 investment.

Yes the money is the same. But buying a larger quantity of shares in a stock that has room to grow will make you more money.

Stocks that are at all time highs won't give you a 300% gain anytime soon. But a smaller cap stock at $10 that is good fundamentally, can grow exponentially higher and make you a ton of money.

Or, look at what Cheniere Energy did the past 5 years. Would you buy it now hoping to make a ton of money? No, you wouldn't. But if you bought 10,000 shares when it was at $5, then you would have hit a home run!!.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Apple is a bad buy. It's more of a stock I would use to put "already made" money, like from Cheniere, so as to protect it for the long haul into retirement.

I would definately take the 5000 shares. Don't forget about dividends! That's how you make more money on the same investment total.

Yea I just did some research and happened to watch Fast Money last night and they said AAPL was selling at a serious discount right now. They labeled it as a top 5 stock for long term large growth.

Agreed. Most analysts believe AAPL should be closer to 200 right now.
