Apple as a company is a monster. They are an angry aggressive monster who is looking to take over. They are making so much money that they can buy other "big companies" and it wouldn't even matter to them. They are currently at $523.xx per share but yet people are scared to buy them. Yes I understand it's not as interesting to buy 10 shares of apple instead of getting 1000 shares of something else but it's probably a better investment. They are currently paying about a 2.02% dividend yield and while that is not too much it wasn't long ago that they didn't even pay a dividend.
When most people think of apple they are thinking of the Ipods, Ipads and some of their other products but Apple is so much more than that. They have a long history of huge highs and low lows. They were a giant and then they weren't a giant, now once again they are a giant. They currently have a 11.85 P/E Ratio putting them right in that category where you have to take notice.
You will find that many people are afraid that they can't continue to make money like they have been but they have put together a structure of money making. People can't just upgrade their products they have to buy new products. Companies like Samsung can't just copy their products because they will sue them and win.
When you are buying Apple you are behind already, you missed the biggest push but that doesn't mean that you are wasting your time or money.
They are still one of the better investment options out there. Apples last 2 dividend payments have been $2.65 per share while some would say they should do far better than this I'd rather have them putting the money back into the company. I know that sounds weird coming from a dividend investor but I also like capital gains. I think the more money they have for research and development the more money they will bring in and the better products they will bring to market.

Dividend Stocks
When buying dividend stocks you need to make sure that the stocks are nice and consistent. You should always check out the history of the companies. Make sure that they have been around for a while and are something that you can depend on continuing to produce. Just looking at their dividend yield alone is a very bad way to approach income investing.
Make sure that the company is generating enough money to continue growing and continue to pay that dividend. Dividend stocks are very desirable and most investors look to them when the are investing. When you are looking at a dividend stock some big companies come to mind such as General Electric, Intel and Walmart. There are so many options, but, I like to buy companies that have growth potential as well as a dividend. This help you out in both methods of investing.
I like to re-invest my dividends do the next time I receive them they are bigger and better. It is all about making money in the stock market and doing your homework is a great way to buy the right stocks. Try to stay away from "Hot stock tips" you get from your neighbor. You need well researched stocks that are strong enough to keep your money with you and not with someone else.
Sometimes I buy exchange traded funds just because they have a nice group of interesting stocks and you can buy them just like an individual company. I am not a home run hitter I buy stocks that will probably only make me between 3% and 5% but once in a while I will invest in something like AGNC which has been a great REIT and helped make many people money.
I buy very few stocks that don't payout a dividend but some of the ones I have invested in over the past year are Ford and 3d printing corp. or symbol DDD. While Ford has not done well I do not regret buying it and 3d Printing corp has done excellent. I should say that Ford has a small dividend payout that they have recently paid but when I started buying it they weren't paying.
Recently Apple started paying out a dividend. Although it is a small dividend in terms of dividend yield it is still nice to be getting a dividend payment from such a great company. If you want to know how to use a stock screener I will post a video on the bottom of this and show you how easy it is to use. When looking into dividend stocks you need to find the one that fits your investing style best.
Dividend stocks are a great investment if you buy them and hold onto them. Making the right choices can really help out your situation in the long term and while investing can be risky you can reduce your risk with the right choices. Remember! Anything stated on this website is a personal opinion and any stocks mentioned are just stocks I personally like. We are not here to tell you what to buy or what not to buy just sharing out opinions.
