First one here!
My new years wish is for the bears on wall street to take a long, long hibernation. Tired of them dragging down my stock!
It will be interesting to see whether Apple spikes over $200 before the year is out.

I’m not sure what stock you are talking about, but it certainly can’t be Apple.
One year ago, AAPL was about $90, today they are almost $200.
Merry Christmas to me!
Meanwhile, Ballmer is busy trying to staple antlers to a small dog that will pull his sleigh down the mountain into Redmondville tonight so that he can steal all of the presents from unsuspecting villagers.
@198.17 at this posting… will it hit $200 and stay there??

3-for-1 split would be nice.

I would love a 3 for 1 stock split.

@Wingsy and Macintosh Sauce
Why? a 3 for 1 split does absolutely nothing for you. Now, if we’re going to wish for anything, a quick move to $250 would be much more beneficial.

Those who have been waiting for a split to buy in since the stock was $100 have lost the opportunity to double their money!
OK, market closed early today. Where’s the quote? And is it time yet to dust off the Apple will never reach 200 quote too.
At the rate the dollar is being devalued, it really won’t matter soon. Apple shares should be rated in terms of precious metals, jewels and hot female concubines. Why compare it’s worth in the same way that is used for MicroSoft. That doesn’t make sense.
I think some of the posters here think that a stock split will increase the amount of money they have in their stock investment.
I wonder where they think that tripling of the money would come from?
Coincidentally, I was up on Christmas Eve trading, also….
