“The current consensus price target of the 60+ analysts that cover Apple (AAPL) is $763/share,” Bespoke Investment Group reports via Seeking Alpha.
“With Apple currently trading below $550, the spread between the stock’s actual price and its price target currently stands at -28.15%,” Bespoke reports. “When the spread has gotten down to -30% or so over the past couple of years, the stock has bounced. Back in late 2008 and early 2009 during the financial crisis, however, the spread did get below 50%.”

As far as you are concerned, you gave fodder to these shysters manipulating the stock.
Imaps is thebest maps app out there, yet you basically carried the lies. To this day, every press release by the shysters call it the worst. Repeat a lie often enough…
Now, it is the poor quality screen of themini. Baloney.
Bezos does not have to lift a finger so long as folks like you carry these falsehoods.
MDN does not make news, they just post that other articles exist. It usually goes that sticking your head in the sand, only leaves your ass exposed…
Just a thought.
Bring on the vaseline
You better lube up your ass nice & ready to receive the Black Jesus’ tool. For he will fornicate & destroy whatever vestiges of financial stability there is left.
Four more years of complaining. Have a nice day!
Four years is a long time. Doubt we’ll make it!
The teenagers just found out the adults are no going to back for another 4 years and they found the credit cards.
LET’S PARTY!
It’s brainless dicks like you that make me wonder why I ever thought of myself as a conservative.
I feel very sad that I must sell all of my AAPL tonight !!
Stick it out – you will be rewarded hansomely
Sure. I’ll take all of it at $525. That’s $175 cheaper than where I sold. Just give us your phone number. I’ll gladly ride through the fiscal cliff with that kind of gain. No problemo!
I can’t seem to find how many Surface Tabs msft has sold, I’m looking for innovation from goog, moto, samsung, htc, asus, lenovo, acer but I can’t find any.
Speaking on AAPL, If you didn’t see the Head & Shoulders chart pattern confirmed on Oct. 1 and didn’t act accordingly you weren’t paying attention. Look for Technical Double Bottom close at 525. Personally I like the Fibonacci at 534, also 1/2 of the high 705 and 363 yearly low. If Aapl closes below 525 look out below, support is a long way down.
I am waiting for you to carry the new post by the WS cheats (aptly called cheat sheets), saying that a mini with retina is coming out.
This will be regurgitated with comments like apple mad mistake of not having it in the first place; expletive should wait for this, blah blah blah.
Even Doug Kass is buying at this level, he tweeted this morning.
Are you kiddng? He planned this alll along and was banking on all the idiot, johnny come lately dd Apple shareholders to panic selll and enable his bargain
I don’t think he’s got that kind of power 🙂
All the analyses on AAPL have come down to this: post Jobs era has set in. Apple isn’t what it used to be – it’s a high risk investment in an ever more volatile mobile device market. Unless Apple pays some attention to the demand for first quality real computers… you know, like Apple used to do, we won’t see 700 again. Tim Cook is NOT the guy for this as proven by the blunders of recent roll out of stuff not ready for prime time.
Gooooooood Morning Ameircanistan!
Enjoy your ride to the bottom!
“Whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant, whoever wants to be first must be slave of all.” Many who are first will be last, and the last shall be first.
You think it was bad the last 4 years, just wait, fools.
Here is a very small list of companies that will be laying off employees as a result of Obamacare:
Welch Allyn
Welch Allyn, a company that manufactures medical diagnostic equipment in central New York, announced in September that they would be laying off 275 employees, or roughly 10% of their workforce over the next three years. One of the major reasons discussed for the layoffs was a proactive response to the Medical Device Tax mandated by the new healthcare law.
Dana Holding Corp.
As recently as a week ago, a global auto parts manufacturing company in Ohio known as Dana Holding Corp., warned their employees of potential layoffs, citing “$24 million over the next six years in additional U.S. health care expenses”. After laying off several white collar staffers, company insiders have hinted at more to come. The company will have to cover the additional $24 million cost somehow, which will likely equate to numerous cuts in their current workforce of 25,500 worldwide.
Stryker
One of the biggest medical device manufacturers in the world, Stryker will close their facility in Orchard Park, New York, eliminating 96 jobs in December. Worse, they plan on countering the medical device tax in Obamacare by slashing 5% of their global workforce – an estimated 1,170 positions.
Boston Scientific
In October of 2009, Boston Scientific CEO Ray Elliott, warned that proposed taxes in the health care reform bill could “lead to significant job losses” for his company. Nearly two years later, Elliott announced that the company would be cutting anywhere between 1,200 and 1,400 jobs, while simultaneously shifting investments and workers overseas – to China.
Medtronic
In March of 2010, medical device maker Medtronic warned that Obamacare taxes could result in a reduction of precisely 1,000 jobs. That plan became reality when the company cut 500 positions over the summer, with another 500 set for the end of 2013.
Others
A short list of other companies facing future layoffs at the hands of Obamacare:
Smith & Nephew – 770 layoffs
Abbott Labs – 700 layoffs
Covidien – 595 layoffs
Kinetic Concepts – 427 layoffs
St. Jude Medical – 300 layoffs
Hill Rom – 200 layoffs
Beyond the complete elimination of a significant number of American jobs is another looming problem created by the health care law – a massive shift from full-time to part-time workers.

” That happened. That really happened.
We are not going to have a supreme court that will overturn Roe vs Wade. There will be no more Antonin Scalia’s and Samuel Allito’s added to this court.
We’re not going to repeal Health Reform. Nobody’s going to kill Medicare, we make old people in this generation or any other generation fight it out on the open market trying to get themselves health insurances. We are not going to do that.
We are not going to give a 20% tax cut to millionaires and billionaires, and expect programs like food stamps and kid’s health insurance to cover the cost of that tax cut.
We are not going to make you clear it with your boss if you want to get birth control under the insurance plan that you’re on.
We are not going to redefine rape.
We are not going to amend the United States Constitution to stop gay people from getting married.

We are not eliminating the Department of Energy or the Department of Education or Housing at the Federal level.
We are not going to spend two trillion dollars on the military that the military does not want.
We are not scaling back on student loans because the country’s new plan is that you should borrow money from your parents.
We are not vetoing the dream act.
We are not self deporting.
We are not letting Detroit go bankrupt.
We are not starting a trade war with China on inauguration day in January.
We are not going to have as a President a man who once led a mob of friends to run down a scared gay kid to hold him down and forcibly cut his hair off with a pair of scissors while that kid cried and screamed for help and there was no apology- not ever.
We are not going to have a Secretary of State John Bolton.
We are not bringing Dick Cheney back.
We are not going to have a Foreign Policy shop stocked with architects of the Iraq war.
We are not going to do it.”
We had the choice to do that, if we wanted to do that as a country and we said no last night.

Uber dick.

I love umlauts. :))
Uber correct.
You didn’t read it did you?
Of course not, that’s how the guy got back in.
1. Then why is the House GOP? (and the U.S. will thank its lucky starts that it is)
2. “Loudly?” Vote tallying continues, but current totals are:
– Empty Chair: 61,170,405
– Romney: 58,163,977
2.5% difference. That’s not at all “loud.”
3. Hey, let’s ask Chris Stevens what he thinks about all this. Oops.
4. Let the hearings begin. (The Empty Chair will soon be wishing he didn’t go negative a year out to demonize a genuinely nice guy in order to pander to a base of ignorant leeches and instead got early release from a job he is incapable of performing.)
Oh, look who’ here and still in denial !
Didn’t i tell you for months that you’re going to get the thrashing of your life? You still don’t get it do you moron? Carry on with your hareful spite and two years from now you’ll lose the house and forever have your head up your ass with the ‘minority forever’ republikkkan vitiol and lies.
Hint: change or die by democracy
Do you think he’s ever used or purchased an Apple product? Your guess is as good as mine.
What’s a ‘hareful spite’? I wonder if Obama’s got two years before impeachment for treason for Benghazi coverup!
As Moochelle would say, “For the first time in my adult life, I have never been more ASHAMED of my Country!”
breeze, huh, as in Flatulence?! Better watch out with all that Methane your spewing, or Gore will come after your destroying the planet, global warming, climate changing ass!
Just a smidgen of intelligence would know to extrapolate the right spelling from a typo, ape. Funny how the typo ‘hareful’ instead of HATEFUL, is even more significant now that you’ve spurted….
You people are both the same.
“10. because Ronney [sic] will win the U.S. Presidency on [sic] November.” – First 2010, Then 2012, 8 October 2012.

My congressman told me Roe vs. Wade was a discussion about the best way to cross the Delaware.
The words of Rachel Maddow.
Give credit where credit is due, breeze.
I removed Rachel Maddow’s name to reduce static from the Ks but added quotes at the beginning and end to reflect that it was a quote… For anyone who wanted to find the source…
I never took credit for the words though reality and fact istands on it’s own.
Ansd i transcribed them
6000+ job losses to Obamacare…
You are going to see more of this! It really happened. It really happened! You GET the government you vote for!

Pft!
That my dear chap is one pathetic list. You can do much better.
I suggest you read the Ubermac reply.
There are two things you don’t see:
One is the sheer absurdity of your position.
Elon Musk is a “rich” man. If I asked you if you respect him you’d say yes.
Surely Musk is the American Dream personified.
But wait, he is one of the hated “rich” isn’t he?
It was a “rich” man that gave me my first job and career in the United States.
He sold all he had and risked bankruptcy to start a business. He got rich and I and my family benefitted. Now I have my own business.
Hard work and determination makes people rich. Welfare just gives the lazy a way to continue to be lazy.
The other thing you people don’t see is that Nobama is just as bad as Bush.
Liberals, can you defend some of the loony things Nobama has done?
Not a chance. He was only re-elected as has a free ride from the press and a built-in 13.1% advantage over any Republican.
Conservatives, can you defend the Bush years and declare his presidency to be a resounding success? Not hardly. He took surplus and turned it into a deficit.
So what in the name of Chuck Norris are you doing still voting for the same two failed parties.?.?.?.?.?.?.?.?.?.?.?.?.?.?
Twit
I pity your employer
WOW, just WOW. Where are these (eastern urals /croats etc coming from. Appl stock down, world ending, buy gold now.

Just a thought.
George P. Bush will end up saving the country.
Young, Hispanic, Navy service… watch and see.

• Rocketdyne –
About 100 employees at Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne, most of whom work in the San Fernando Valley, were laid off Wednesday in response to dwindling government spending on space exploration, the company said.
