Question

How much would having a stock in itunes or google be?!?!?!?!?

Answer 1

Right now Google (stock symbol GOOG) is $585.80 per share. ITunes doesn't have its own stock though, its owned by Apple computers (stock symbol AAPL) which is $188.75 per share.  

You should keep in mind though, while there are many reasons to buy stock, the main one is to make money.  A year ago GOOG was around $495 and AAPL was about $120 for one share.  

For around the same price lets say $500, you could have bought almost 150 shares of Pyrmid Oil ($3.40 per share a year ago)  today ONE share is worth  $17.70, so your stocks would be worth $2655; a much better increase.

Good luck with the stocks

Answer 2

Dont forget that you could also consider owning options on AAPL (which owns iTunes) and GOOG.  It's a way to control shares of each company at a percentage of the stock's actual price.  You also have to determine if either stock meets your investment goals and risk tolerance as defined by your trade plan.

As a previous poster states, there are cheaper stocks out there, but, those stocks may not meet your investment goals.  It took the stock mentioned a year to go up $10-15, where both stocks (AAPL & GOOG) do that in a week.  I think GOOG has gone up $50 this past week (check chart on Yahoo Finance for confirmation)

The point is, each trader has to determine what stocks meet their trading strategy.  They do this by determine what sector they will trade.  What price point they will trade.  What technical indicators they use to trade.  What chart patterns they like

Answer those questions and you might determine for yourself if the AAPL and GOOG are good investments.

Answer 3

Well, iTunes is a product, not a company.  Apple stock closed at 188.74 last Friday and Google stock closed at 585.80
