  1. To quote McDonalds… “I’m Lovin’ This”

    Apple shares are up 26% for the year (so far). And all the good news is ahead of us. There is some speculation that at tomorrow’s share holder meeting that Apple might announce a stock split. It sounds possible. Information on the iPhone shows it to be better than originally anticipated and Leopard will be showing off it’s secret features next month.

  2. Market Cap. Summary (in billions $)

    Gateway: 0.7
    Motorola: 42.8
    Sony: 55.7
    Dell: 58.1
    Disney: 74.0
    Apple: 92.4
    Nokia: 98.5
    HP: 120.3
    Intel: 130.6
    Cisco: 160.1
    AT&T: 243.4
    MSFT: 294.5

    This is why Leopard could wait 4 months – moving from the little numbers to the big numbers will not happen because iChat can share a document – it WILL happen when they sell 50 million phones a year – and they WILL sell 50 million phones a year – count on it

  3. Does AAPL really think it can attract significantly more investors by splitting now? Isn’t it a little premature to expect that? I’m just wondering. If AAPL does split now I think it’ll take a little time to catch up, but if it attracts a lot more investors in the short term who knows.

    @Tom
    I think you’re just about dead-on with the iPhone comment. I was the biggest iPhone sceptic just before it was officially announced, but when I saw that it really wasn’t yet another phone, but really a PDA with phone (something all “smart” phones aspire to be), I was positive it was going to smoke the competition, and I still am.

  4. I don’t think they need a stock split at the moment. The fall in the dollar’s value means that American stocks are all slightly cheaper to international investors, making ones with good future projections such as AAPL incredibly attractive.

    Think about it. If the stock goes up 25% and the dollar does the same, you’ve more than doubled your profit ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”smile” style=”border:0;” />

  5. To quote Mike:

    You can keep that one.. it’s not the McDonald’s slogan

    The McDonalds slogan here is “ich liebe es.” Which is essentially, “I love it.” So, kind of the same thing.

  6. Remember folks – stock only has ‘worth’ once you sell it, then all you end up with is cash to spend on gas, food, rent, iTunes Songs, etc.

    But the Dividends, ahhhh. However, at $00.80 a share last time (there-abouts, yes?) gonna take a LOT of shares to have ‘something’. Which begs the question about Steve’s $1.00 a year – does he collect cold hard cash via a Dividend payment each Quarter for the shares he does hold ? Or is that part of his, and everyone else’s, options/plans/requirements(?) to plow them back into more Shares ?

    Maybe I’m showing my Religion and Politics – but seems to me Money is supposed to only be a means to an end.

    So let the “money people” propel us, and the Mac, in our Quest to Change the World into a Better Place one OSX at a time.

  7. I’m with you, KenC. I sold at 99 and change last week; now waiting to see what will happen. It’s bound to “correct” at some point.

    Can someone get Cramer to post on here? ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”wink” style=”border:0;” />

  8. “In at 70 bucks, long, I don’t want no stinkin’ split.”

    I’m in at $7.50. I’ve already paid for college and a few toys and it just keeps growing. Now it’s really turned a corner. The world has noticed that Microsoft has no clothes and that Macs just work.
