Lyndon, don’t feel bad. At least you have some shares, and at an amazing price by today’s value. My SO bought a few shares of AAPL just before the iPhone intro, and while it’s waaaay too early to mess with, we’re pretty happy. Maybe enough to get a new Mac with next year!
@ Stock Trader
You are an idiot.
@ Stock Trader
Perhaps pick up a home builder or Microsoft stock. Same potential, same passion.
Well, I’m glad I called it. I sent an email to MDN last night telling them to watch AAPL as it was on the verge of passing HP in market cap, which would make Apple the most valuable personal computer company in the world. Historic day for Apple. I don’t think they were ever the most valuable personal computer company even in the early to mid-80s.
Incredibly, you could have bought as recently as April for about $90.
Personally, I think there is some large market buying due to “windowdressing”, ie mutual fund managers are buying to dress up their quarter end reports. If they’re not in the biggest tech stock of the last 3 years, the mutual fund owners get upset.
AAPL closes at a new all time high of 153.18 (+4.90)
up 9.15 from Friday’s close!!!
In fact, “Stock Trader” is “Stock Boy”! Remember him a year ago last summer? He was going to short AAPL then at $50 and clean up. Well, he’s cleaning up now . . . pushing a mop and bucket around at the local Mickey Dee’s!
YOU’RE A MORON, “STOCK BOY/STOCK TRADER”! You are drowning in the sea of your own stupidity, and I am throwing you a cup of water!
My overall AAPL gains crossed 100% today (109, actually), even with the most recent buys averaged in. My first buy is up over 1,200%.
I think I can officially say that I’ve cleaned up.
And it ain’t over yet.

MW: ‘period’
Well, some two months ago, we had already surpassed HP once, during the big pre- and post-iPhone surge (HPQ was around $127B and AAPL hit $149 with around $130B). The sub-prime mortgage fiasco of August dragged AAPL back to $120s for a while, giving back the Largest Computer Company title to HP. Obviously, not for long (which anyone knowing Apple at the time knew anyway). Well, we’re back.
It is quite possible that AAPL might retreat again and cede the title once again to HP; still, it will again be not for long (much like it wasn’t for long when the same thing happened in January 2006 with Dell). Next target should be Google and IBM. Once we clear that hurdle, we’ll take another deep breath and work our way towards MSFT. I say, two more years (Christmas 2009 will be an important one on many levels).
@ Predrag
Sounds about right to me. I think a $280BN market cap isn’t completely out of the question by Macworld ’10. And that’s assuming MS doesn’t shrink (though it’s so flat-lined I doubt it will move in either direction.)

MW: ‘power’
My largest block of AAPL holdings scored a 25 bagger. My most recent block of investment in AAPL — just prior to the iPhone going on sale — is up over 20%. I’m now have a real chance to outrun my massive medical bills, because AAPL is putting my finances on the good side of what engineers call the power curve. I’ve been into the seven figures ($) for a while and now I am in even deeper.
Apple haters are also in deeper — deeper rage.
@rsbell. Where’s that crazy chick in Isreal now?
It Isreal, she’s in Israel now

Duh! What was her name, Laura Goldman, suggested we all sell at $105 or some such BS…?
@ Stock Trader
haha !
MDN: Suddenly, i feel i’m Nelson Muntz
Apple is a $200.00 stock waiting to happen.
The iPhone isn’t even selling globally yet. Leopard hasn’t even dropped yet. Where are those new Cinema Displays? What about the new “Macbook Thin”? We’re still months away from the holiday season. Intel’s Penryn chips hit the streets in January. The new iPods and the iTouch have only been in stores a few days.
What other surprises await us at Macworld ’08?
Are you kidding me?
Let these anti-Apple fools spout all they want. As for me and my house, we’re buying Apple!
Peace.

I don’t believe Apple pays dividends.
We’re pleased to announce our Our iBendover launch strategy is working perfectly. Queues are starting to form already.
Based on huge demand for the iBendover, We expect the stock to be at $1000 by Christmas.
