There's Still Room Aboard the Apple Train

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- I don't think there is any single stock that is followed by as many investors as Apple (AAPL).

Many of you have the "if only I knew then what I know now" opinion and others have the "the window of opportunity has passed me by" regret.

Many think there is no way to make money buying in at this level. Let's take a step back and look at Apple the way we would look at any other investment.

First, is Apple still hitting new highs or has it run out of gas? A look at this hourly trading chart for the last month provided by Barchart shows things are still happening:

Let's see what make Apple tick:

Apple, together with subsidiaries, designs, manufactures, and markets mobile communication and media devices, personal computers, and portable digital music players; and sells related software, services, peripherals, networking solutions, and third-party digital content and applications worldwide.

Its products and services include iPhone, iPad, Mac, iPod, Apple TV, the iOS and Mac OS X operating systems, iCloud, and various accessory and support offerings, as well as a range of consumer and professional software applications.

In addition, it offers various third-party iPhone, iPad, Mac, and iPod compatible products, including application software, printers, storage devices, speakers, headphones, and other accessories and peripherals, through its online and retail stores; and digital content and applications through the iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store.
