    alright hey everyone!

    Me and my buddies have a pool going on and we are going to "pretend buy" socks on this site and whoever ends up making the most money wins the pool! we have excactly until june 29 to get as much money as possible.

    I have $100,000 to invest.

    I think my choice is going to be apples stocks, as they have WWDC coming up, and with the release of a new macbook, the stock should soar... correct? But will the stocks rise up or dive down before the event? (when shouldI buy the stocks)

    Also does anyone know of any stocks that should rise up drastically within a month? :D

    thanks alot guys! help me win this competitioon! :):):)

    NOT APPLE! They are at a pretty high price already. WWDC won't make it go up

    It might. The stock usually goes up following Apple events (unless the stockholders don't like what they unvieled... Remember the iPad?).

    I doubt it'll rise with the new MacBook pro. At least not significantly.

    I don't know, I just feel that new MacBooks aren't as big of a deal compared to, say, a new iPhone or new iPad.

    They will be if there's a greatly changed design, or some very impressive new features. But I see where you're coming from.

    Also, the stocks may not go up. There's a very good chance they will, but we can't forget the first iPad and the 4S. Not that the stocks matter for their success; both of those were very successful. But in your case, you should wait until we are closer to WWDC. There may be some new news as to what will be unveiled. Usually there is no stock drop before the events, either, so you don't have to worry about that very much.

    Motley Fool says it's fine to buy Apple stock whenever. It jus goes up. My dad's stock had almost quadrupled.

    Buy it. Hold it for a long time. Don't just do it temporarily. The money comes in the wait.
