Hopefully the start of a new trend! Didn’t like the old one but I’m in for the long haul.
The long haul is what really counts. While the economy will vary, the performance of good companies won’t.
Those of us who bought in for the long haul will be rewarded. Anyone who bought shares of Apple yesterday will be grateful they did, too.
And the FUD spewing trolls are back to hiding under their bridges.
Do you get the impression that Wall Street is playing us? The scenario is getting familiar: big funds drive down a stock, shake out the little guys, then buy back in on the dip. It shows what contempt Wall Street has for ordinary investors.
I’m with the others here, and I’m holding fast. The hysteria of the past couple of days is a “the sky is falling” reaction to sub-prime mortgage portfolios held by banks and mortgage lenders, but so far, there is no facts to support that Apple’s earnings will be impacted. That said, I can’t help but to be suspicious that a concerted effort has been made to whipsaw the price of Apple stock in an effort by big players to exploit the situation, gaining an opportunity to zip while others zag.
I won’t budge with my investment in Apple. But if I am right, and I hope I am not, it’s stock manipulation of a tall order. And that is more than unethical. If you ask me what I think of many on Wall Street, my response would be unfit for viewing on this site.
Fundamentals good.
Buy on a dip.
Make money.

You have to admit, that was a scary week. >.<
Honestly I was quite worried.
Good to be back in the saddle.
