I recall taking advantage of it before a Kodak stockholder meeting. I sold all my stock at $55 a share before the meeting. After the meeting, the stock price never reached $55 again. Swirling down the drain it did go.

They deserve it. All of those who ignored or denigrated the iPhone deserve what they get. It is the reason I left Sprint, now look at them grovel for Apple.

Since 1999 when I started watching the stock, wish I had had the money to invest back then. I just see Apple good news as a buy opportunity.

It’ll never be big in Japan.

The iPhone will never get a foothold in Japan. Does anyone remember all the industry idiots spouting off about that way back when?
