Amazing piece of technology.
Damn, Parallels seems to be pretty fast!!!
Keep deraming, truth hurts.
truth hurts… er.. I mean MacDude go away…
I just sold all my shares, here’s why:
1) the stock went to high to quickly, to many people (shareholders) are watching it and they see the red percentage decline and they will sell it, the force is ENERMOUS ( close to $10billion worth force is watching it )
2) it’s friday, less buyers more sellers.
3) earning reports might come on monday and if it is dissapointing , it can result in a sharp decline.
4) because the stock will close both ” down ” as well as ” under 70 ” it will bring in even more sellers on monday. ( people will see apple having gone down on friday on both days of the weekend as well as on monday morning )
5) Critics have not come out of the closet yet, bootcamp was released just 2 days ago, critics and anti-apple or simply attention seeking media will test it out and come out with negative news pointing out its flaws, which will make the stock decline even more.
6) Shorters might also jump in before stock goes down any more which will result in even more declines. but this is not worthy of pointing since reason #1 far outweighs this one.
vista=gay piece of crap
The fact that it APPLE’s stock went up by a $10billion worth buyers in less than 2 days, and the fact that it is both in the red and under 70 and its friday which means less demand both because it is friday and because people are not interested in a stock that is not green ( red )…
you connect those dots and it makes no sense to buy the stock today at a ” low ” price because it is likely to close at a ” all time low ” for the day . which means even if it is under $69, it is still not attractive, it can go way lower.
>6 Reasons why you should not buy Apple stock.>
Where did you go to school? California, I’ll bet.
“vista=gay piece of crap”
No Vista is straight. If it were gay, it would at least have style.
It is a piece of crap mind.
Why does XP boot up so fast on a Mac???
I hope “truth hurts” is neutered. It won’t do the human race any good to perpetuate his/her stupid genes.
“>6 Reasons why you should not buy Apple stock.>

ron, leave him alone. Just by reading his post you can see he has an ENERMOUS intellect.
People are buying assuming since i posted a negative news, the stock must be a bargain deal.
This Parallels stuff is fast. The slowest part is the clicking and typing! Can’t wait to try it on my new mini.
Ron, not in 6’s defense, but why the crack about CA school’s?

Time to start mingling and making new friends, folks. It’s all one big party now. Excercising some basic social skills would be appropriate at this juncture, eh?
Let’s skip the snark and get on with computing ’cause .. we got tools. All of us. Movin’ on. Yes indeed.
Please, Vista is already a has been before it has even been released. And with its 7 confusing configurations who would want it anyways. It’s just an XP service pack update basically with more promises of security like XP.Bootcamp will just make it that much easier to see how superior the Mac OS and its hardware really is. It also it gives that extra flexability when there isn’t a Mac application for a special project. Now you can run that Windows app at full speed and get that project done without having to find a PC or suffer through a virtual PC experience which is way to slow.
bugger the stock price, thats nothing compared to the actual importance of the report.
this is great news, its what virtual pc always should have been, and more.
Oh, and it does look like we have some retarded people on this thread, no doubt. (Those who know they are not retarded, please disregard my commentary).
I’m am not fooling, this is serious.
Don’t come running to me on Monday or Tuesday when everything hits.
I’ve warned all of you, and I do it humbley, but this is too much for the average invester to understand.
These things have HUGE swings, and their’s no telling what will happen next week.
I don’t understand why you don’t like me. I made you pie.
Why are the children laughing?
Why do old people kick me at the park?
Anyone have a link to the Parallels SW? Thanks
