How to Buy Shares of Apple for Less Than $30

When a stock trades up to $600... that's impressive. Problem is when we're talking about Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL ) and as that's exactly what we're doing here, it's also depressing. Depressing because a lot of investors want to get in on the action, but at $600, 100 shares costs $60,000. That's an entire portfolio for some investors. One option for relief from this quandary comes from ETFs, scores of which offer decent exposure to Apple . Fortunately, there are no "Apple ETFs" trading for $600. In fact, none of the ETFs that can be used for decent Apple exposure even trade in the triple digits - at least not yet.

That's too bad because since QQQV debuted, it's up 19.74% and that's not including Tuesday's gains. That performance is triple what QQQ has offered over the same time frame.
