Smoooookin !!!!
Anyone getting tired of that headline??
Not me.
I should have brought AAPL instead of a Porsche 911.
Blackberry, Disney, and Dell combined are not worth AAPL. Most consumers don’t have a clue of that.
And even more products on the way.
Their lineup for 2008 will be incredible.
And at around 10% market share, the sky is not even the limit. The guy who predicted 600 may just become my hero.
He is the round peg in the square hole.
Nope!! Never get tired of seeing that head line.
Sell your Porsche, buy AAPL, then buy your secret girlfriend a Porsche.
I put $20,000.00 in AAPL when the highs were under $20.00 3 splits and waiting for the magic number and then I’m retiring.
If we were to continue down that road, Amazon, Motorola, Yahoo, Adobe, RealNetworks, Palm and Napster COMBINED are not worth Apple…!
If I remember correctly, Apple is now on the top 30 most valuable companies IN THE WORLD. PetroChina is the largest one ($1 trillion market cap).
Let’s compare this December with the last December. What is significantly different from the perspective of growth? My point is, I am struggling to find a reason why AAPL couldn’t do again what it did in the previous 12 months. Back then, we were hearing wild rumours about the iPhone. Other than that, it was just solid iPod and Mac growth. When we look at today, we see much stronger Mac growth, and the iPhone can only grow faster. And I’m sure only some of that has already been built into the stock.
I will patiently await next december, expecting to se AAPL at $400 (allowing it to even slow down a bit from the past year), coming in at $350B. Meanwhile, I expect MSFT to remain where it is, if not even slide a bit down.
Let’s get together next december and celebrate the emergence of AAPL as the largest tech company in the world.
Here’s to another insanely great year!
I better sell now. That great prognosticator of tech, Rob Enderle, says that this may be the worst quarter for AAPL. Oooh, I’m scared!
Slowly buying more AAPL. Wish I had more money to buy, but I’ll take what I can get. In the meantime, I have a handful of shares that I purchased at $19 pre-split. Too bad I didn’t buy a crapload. I could have retired early. lol
Is it too early to anticipate a mini iPhone?
My Enderle headache won’t go away. {throb}
Had some shares at 65 but got shaken out during the plunge in August. Stupid me. Got some AAPL options that, rather than sell for a profit as I normally would, I might exercise. Why pay retail when you can buy wholesale…
C1: Throb Enderle? Hmmm, that works.
Laura… why are you so quiet lately……
“Laura… why are you so quiet lately……”
Restraining orders?
There must be a lot of sell orders set to sell at $200 or above. One more day left in 2007 to close above $200! I want to see it happen.
Thank heaven for all the dopey sell orders at $200, as well as mutual fund managers taking profits in order to pad their annual returns. That means AAPL’s pre-Macworld rally is being artificially suppressed. In other words, BUYING OPPORTUNITY!! I was cautious when I bought at $79, but this time I’m going to put some real $$$ on the line. Assuming movie rentals actually occurs, I think AAPL will break $300 by the end of 2008.
Cheers!
