Oh, the red faces we shall see by the end of 2013.

ROTFLMAOAWMP!

What a fucking idiot

At some point, we’re going to have to stop making excuses why Apple stock has become toxic waste. Investors are certainly spending money, according to the Dow, but they’re just not spending it on Apple. It has become a very unattractive investment. Money goes in but nothing comes out. Why would anyone want in on a stock like that.

Apple is being touted as a company without a future so what good is a company whose shares are one-tenth what they are now if the company is being declared dead. Pundits like Gold are just going out of their way to declare Apple a bad investment. It’s just too scary the way these people are trying to kill Apple’s investment value. It’s like people with picket signs standing outside of a store telling people not to buy from a store. How many people will be willing to take the chance of buying. I honestly can’t tell what Apple is worth because Wall Street’s values seemed to have changed drastically.

Shhh, don’t let F2014,T1816 hear that… his head might explode!

No one will ever break Roger Maris’ home run record.

No one will ever dive to the sea floor.

No one will ever skydive more than 20 miles.

The only questions is when, not if. Apple comes out with an amazing Apple iTV, or iGlasses, or iOS designed to drive your car all by itself, etc. etc. and the stock will soar even higher than $700.

I’ve just sold all my apples that I bought in September under the advice of that smart man on tv. I was so sure he would be right as he has his own show. They turned mushy. Something about my storage was too small.

Since you know so much about headwinds and tailwinds I’m sure you’ll know the way. And your insight that because apple has competed so hard to take most of the profits must mean that there is no more profits left to take.

Stock will crash and burn as that much cash hoarding indicates a management that is more interested in banking assets than one that is interested in reinvesting for growth or investor value.

How’s Jeff Bezos doing it for you in the hero worship market.

Look outside yourself that you will see that Apple has had a greast run of products, is a well run company, delivers value to their shareholders and cannot sustain the astronomical growth of the last year. No mature company can.

What’s Apple stock worth? About as much as it shows on the top of this page.

Stocks are not the Super Bowl. Stock prices reflect the performance of a company. This factors tangible and intangible forces acting in a market.

Most of you are dumber than my freshman students.

I am irrevocably convinced that the corporate and government markets were ready to adopt MacPro right when Apple just gave up and left that enormous, world-wide, endless billions and billions of dollars in sales and profits to the hated Microsoft. If Tim held a press conference surrounded by corporate moguls and federal agencies top brass and announced contracts to buy the new, unimaginable, power house MacPro that left every other box maker scratching their collective heads, then Mr. Gold would look like a fool. And, Tim could keep trying to catch up with the pop culture of plastic toys and I would quit complaining.

There was a time (late 90′s) when everyone and their brother was opening Ameritrade accounts and buying stocks. This was during the dot-com boom. There were even commercials for these services in which ordinary people (nail salon workers, city bus drivers, toll booth collectors) discussed trading stocks. In many ways, this was actually true, and these types of investors were genuinely clueless about the market, buying stocks whose price per share was low, and steering clear of those where the price was high. That was also the time when companies were diligently splitting their stocks as soon as individual share price went into triple digits.

Mercifully, those times are gone. Such clueless retail investors are extremely dangerous; much more so than the big hedge fund manipulators. The manipulators can often be predictable, but clueless ones are irrational and emotional, exacerbating any significant gyrations on the market.

$60,000 buys you exactly $60,000 worth of AAPL shares. Whether it is 1400 shares at $40, or 140 at $400, or 70 shares at $800, it will be exactly as much money as you put in. If AAPL has growth potential, it will grow, whether share price is $2 or $2,000 (or $140,000, like BRK.A).

Individual share price (as a benchmark for anything) is completely irrelevant.

You only write such fluffy bullshit when you have nothing serious to write about, but only an intense will or incentive to spit out negativity.

I think this is FUD and useless information.

I purchased 1400 shares of AAPL way-back when it was $42 a share. I believed in the company, AND I could afford that amount of commitment. The stock has since split twice . . . but its unit share has increased (now) ten fold. Few people I know can easily afford 100 shares of AAPL now, much less 1400. Individual investors like me are out of this equity today because I cannot afford any substantial block thereof.

Until AAPL returns to more affordable per-unit shares and smaller, more committed investors return to the market for this equity, WHATEVER GOLD AND HIS ILK SAY GOES! I hate it, but it’s a fact.

Here’s to a 10 for 1 split, Tim Cook. My entire family will buy 100 shares each as soon as you do!
