With the current economy, no one is feeling too good about their personal finances. I’ll admit that I lost my shirt in the stock market with some small companies.

Where is the bottom? Well, if i knew that, I’d be a rich man. I am no stock guru by any means, but i decided recently to get back into the stock market. Could be a mistake, I know.

I will only buy stocks i believe in now. Intel and Apple are at the top of my list right now. Both are near 52 week lows. Both have LOTS of cash in the bank (no bankruptcy). Both have GREAT products out with near monopolies.

I just don’t see how it could be a mistake with either of these companies. Sure, in the short term they might go down. But, in 10 years or so, i’m sure I will have no regrets with these investments.

**I bought 100 shares of AAPL 11/20/08 for $85.00 each**
**I bought 1000 shares of INTC 12/4/08 for $12.90 each**
