Laura Goldman, anyone?
My stock has just gone up three iPads in March. Sweet
So it will drop right after the ipad comes out?

Another day like today and Apple is larger than Wal-Mart!
Is there really enough room for it to continue to grow?
On Thursday, November 20, 2008, Apple shares closed at $80.49.
By the way, who keeps pumping up Walmart so they stay ahead?
“Another day like today and Apple is larger than Wal-Mart!

Room for Walmart to grow? Not much.
Room for Apple to grow? TONS! That’s the beauty of it.
Something tells me I’m going to get sick of all the articles titled ‘Apple shares hit new all-time intraday, closing highs” that I’ll be seeing over the next six months or so.
Actually, since I got in at $7.00 I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of these : )
Apple seems to have their annual PR “good news” cycle very well-tuned for 2010. There does not seem to be a “slow” month. First, it was smashing expectations in January for the previous quarter, thanks in part to using the new accounting rules for iPhone plus excellent Mac sales. Then, it’s all the current fanfare from introducing and releasing iPad. Then, it’s time once again for iPhone and iPhone OS upgrade speculation in May and June. Then, it’s whatever comes out of WWDC and introduction of new Macs just before back-to-school time. Then, it’s time for new iPods and some other new Macs, to gear up for the holiday quarter.
Rinse and repeat. The only question is, what will be the “iPad” for 2011?
Does any company play the popular and tech media as well as Apple? I don’t think so…
Buy some shares and you’ll never be sick of these stories.
Where’s the SIDAGTMBTTS story?
By my calculations (using Spotlight):
Apple = 7.13 x Dell
I saw the “Septuple” story a week or so ago but it was a bit premature.
AAPL investors, stay put, the ride ain’t over, by far (I’m out on 1 k) ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”smile” style=”border:0;” />
The math regarding AAPL’s market share makes it seem that Apple is actually larger than Wal-Mart. But Wal-Mart has the same issue, so it’s not as small either.
MDN Word: Research
$51 Billion and counting….
Shares will probably drop sharply when iPad comes out. But will steadily rise again to $ 300 or so! My AAPL shares are financing my Apple spendings… I love it!
Really a educative and informative post, the post is good in all regards,I am glad to read this post.

“Is there really enough room for it to continue to grow?”
That’s the exciting part there’s tonnes of room for Apple to grow!
With 10 to 20% of the computer market in North America (probably a lot less in the rest of the world?), Apple has pretty much the entire world’s population to expand into.
And as long-time Apple users know, even when one already owns Apple products, one continues to purchase the upgrades and new products.
So, Apple has not yet even begun to grow!
By my calculation it is not good…

CRM review is also vital and the most important to help out the top management because it provides crucial data like customer satisfaction efficiency service by the frontline crews. A piece of customer relationship management software will also be able to generate the needed reports for product development or new concepts. Furthermore, this system will also be a great help for the top management in deciding the company’s future course of action, whether it involves phasing out one of the products on the shelves or making adjustments to one of the products sold.
