I like this stock
I say Buy and hold for the next few years and make $$$$
And they called it puppy love!!!
Where is that bitch who advised her clients to sell?
Getting newterd?!!!!
I personally know six people who have purchased an iPhone since the price drop.. That’s more than I know who purchased on the first weekend.
Proves that no matter how great a device is, price is probably the number one barrier to that device gaining mass adoption.
iPod 1 million sold 23 months
iPhone 1 million sold 74 days
AAPL Sit on it!
A friend of mine with a good deal of money says that he always sells his Apple stock right before Steve Jobs takes the stage, then spends the money he made from it on Apple stock when it tanks after the announcement. When the stock recovers, a few days later, he makes a tidy profit.
MDN word: “value,” go figure.
rich people can afford to trade
For the regular guy looking to get ahead
Pick up some AAPL and hold on don’t sell …. you will be very happy …. ask any apple long and they will tell you the same
It will work
IT IS A LONG TERM BUY
Come on AAPL hit the magic $150.00 Daddy needs a new Mac Pro with Dual Quad Cores and 16GB RAM and 4 1TB Hard drives
In yer faces, Scott Moritz and Jim Cramer. What a pair of frigtards!
I guess I am surprised that the market would react to the news that Apple sells a million iPhones. I just assumed that was a sure thing from the time I saw the iPhone announced

A million iPhones in 74 days?
13,514 phones a day?
The iPhone is a failure!!!!
Apple is DEAD!
</Sarcasem>
Don’t forget Apple books the sale when they ship the phone to AT&T;, not when AT&T;sells it. You can bet AT&T;ordered a bunch last Thursday to handle demand at the new price.
“13,514 phones a day?
The iPhone is a failure!!!!”
Except in the world of cellphones (or even iPods), a hundred thousand a day is considered a good performance.
I guess we have to wait until the iPhone hits $49.95 (at $200 reduction every 2 months, should be there by January) to see those numbers.
