    Pay off my mortgage.
    I can't run no more
    With that lawless crowd
    While the killers in high places
    Say their prayers out loud
    But they've summoned, they've summoned up
    A thundercloud
    They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

        AAPL. Just saw a 12 month estimate at 610 USD. It's at 385 right now.

            Here's a boring answer:

            large cap stocks with high dividend yields and good cash flow. Collect the dividend while you wait for the growth.......puts a floor on downside too.

                Your fascination with AAPL is blinding, isn't it?

                The frustrating thing is that the $600/share estimate is not new, but they keep moving back the "expected by" date. To get to $610, AAPL would increase about 60% from its current price of around $385, but would have to increase around 50% from its high. It has a lot of new territory to go through to get to $600. I think there are other stocks that can do just as well, some of which will also kick in a nice dividend that AAPL does not. Stocks that have been unfairly punished over the last couple months.

                I will continue to hold my AAPL stock, but doubt that I will be adding to it. I think there are "better buys" out there. Stocks that could return nearly 50% just by recovering to their recent highs of this year, from which they had been expected to gain 10%-20% just a couple months ago. There were no reasons for some of these stocks to have declined as much as they have, other than just the general market sell off.

                  Skin, buy a home or two and rent 'em. You would make a great slum lord.

                    You should totally PM me an example or two... for research.

                      I'm already a slum lord of my own home. Just not enough glory in it for me. No one recognizes my achievements.

                        OK. How about some emerging market Vanguard funds? You can mix in some safer stuff from Vanguard like Howie mentioned if you're a pussy.

                            even from onboard the Scottrade helicopter, I'm told.

                              A home OR TWO for $60K??? Are you kidding??? You can barely sneeze at one mortgage for that.
