Apple, MSft stock

[amlooking]

Too late to buy these for LT hold? Which is better? Discuss.

Both are good long term holds, with nearly $200B in cash.
Both are money printers, better than central bankers.

TEC.TO is an ETF you could consider if you can't choose between individual stocks.

I'm leaning towards microsoft but wonder how risky it is.

I'm all in on Apple. It makes up 1/3 of my portfolio. It's never too late to buy stock royalty. I first bought in 2016, reaped the benefits of consistent growth, dividends and a stock split.

I don't know enough about Microsoft to comment. Yeah they make software but what else?

What's the next apple in your opinion? Hard to tell if apple will still grow at similar rates

consumer software, corporate software, enterprise solutions , cloud services , Xbox

I'm not bashing apple, but Microsoft is a behemoth ...and around half of apples revenue comes from the iPhone and the company is actively trying to diversify its revenue sources (eg more revenue from services). not saying the iPhone is gonna lose its crown, but never say never , esp in technology

well, apple now pays dividends not much of a growth company anymore

looks like they're trying to grow by entering into diff markers, like the car market

Buy both, equal amount of each. They will be on sale soon

I am still waiting for Face Drive (FD.V) to go up - I bought it $0.94 and hoping it would've gone up by now.

Do you have any other big bets? I feel its too late to get into apple now.

I'm just going to sit on what I have for now. Very nervous about the market, not going to put money into anything unless some bargains come along. But if I had extra cash I'd put it in the Canadian Banks. Rock solid. BMO, RBC & TD, in that order.

Decent time to buy if you're liquid. Apple has been dropping since last week. It's now $160 USD, down from $182 a few weeks ago. I think if it goes under$150 you should be all over it. But I sure hope not.
