Ok, this is starting to get creepy! Next thing the sky will be falling on our heads!
I thought Apple was out of business?

Didn’t Microsoft buy Apple a few years ago?

You may be underwhelmed. People who bought at $12 are rich. Remember: “Buy low, sell high.”

Well Yoko’s a big fan of VAIO…
Oh yeah Sony’s suing Apple Computers for use of the word mini…
Hmmm, Now at a 3 year high. Driven they say by Mini ipod success and a rumor that Sony is going to buy them (which I don’t think will happen). Wish I woulda bought at 13 but at least I got in on some at under 20.
Okay, here’s the deal:
1. We all buy Apple stock now.
2. We come up with a list of companies that should buy Apple.
3. We release a rumor each week with a new company buying out Apple.
4. Profit!!

Read the article again. ANOTHER new 52-week high. AAPL has been setting 52-week highs regularly for some time now. As Jack points out, it’s higher than it has been in three years.
If you’re that easy to ‘underwhelmify’ with market data you don’t understand, you shouldn’t be in the markets. If you were equally ignorant about computers, you’d probably think Macs can’t do email.
finelinebob, you forgot the last step.
5. Jail!!

Jail, schmail!
6. The sentence would be served at a (pardon the pun) minimum-security institution, likely one with a 9-hole golf course.
7. In less than 2 years, we’re released to spend our profits. It’s a GOOD thing! ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”wink” style=”border:0;” />
OK then, carrying this on…
8. Be sued by disgruntled investors who lost money.
9. Pay our lawyers all the profits.
9. End up at the local Salvation Army soup kitchen.
