Facebook Inc (FB), Apple (AAPL): According to Teenagers, These Stocks Are Two Smart Tech Investments

Page 2 of 2

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) seems to be winning the smartphone mindshare war among teenagers, and based on the comScore data, this could translate into more iPhone purchases down the road.

Obviously, teens aren’t the only — or the best — indicator for picking a tech stock. But if you consider the information from the surveys and reports we mentioned, it’s pretty solid market research. When it comes to social media investments, I’m still cautious on getting on board with Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB). The company has made some huge strides in mobile as of late, and I think they’re on the right track in a lot of ways, but social media trends can change quickly and I think it’s still too early to tell how the company’s stock will play out.

As for Apple, tech investors know what a wild ride it’s been since last fall, but there’s something to be said for Apple’s ability to maintain high customer satisfaction and high retention rates for its devices. Despite increased competition, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is still one of the most dominant mobile tech companies and there’s no indication that will change anytime soon. Teens see the value in the company’s products, and I think investors would be smart to do the same.
