Bought two seperate positions of equivalent dollar amounts.
Per share price: APPL: $268.30 MSFT: $24.53
Which position will be worth more at the end of the calendar year?
Bought AAPL $10 below its 52-week high. Bought MSFT at a 9-month low and $2.50 above its 52-week high low.
Edit: f'd that up. Didn't make sense before.

Hmm, tough call. I like both of them, and tech in general these days.
I vote AAPL, though, just because I've been meaning to sell half my position there for a while, but still haven't pulled the trigger and it's worked out for me. laziness ftw.

Closed the day at 24. Not bad. I was hanging around 18.50-19.00 for about two hours too.

Initial offering went from 14 to 17, which sounds pretty good.

I cast the lone bet on MSFT
you should put a position in on TSLA.
you'll either go broke or rich on it. hard to evaluate.

TSLA Day's Range: 23.30 - 30.42 If you had gone long at the open and dumped it and gone short around 11:30, you would have made a killing today.

Both stocks are performing almost identically on a percentage basis from my purchase price. It's uncanny. Unfortunately, they're both down ~6.2% in 1.5 days of trading.
