    March 2003 $7.49 = 3600%

    Here’s to the stupid ones. The copycats. The followers. The compliant ones. The square pegs in the square holes. The ones who are afraid to see things differently. They’re fond of rules. And they are invested in the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. But mostly you can ignore them. Because they never change things. They hold the human race back. And while some may see them as the safe ones, we see stupidity. Because the people who are stupid enough to think that Apple can’t change the world, are the ones who don’t think.

    May Ballmer remain Microsoft CEO for as long as it takes!

  2. AAPL will pass msft CAP in July2010 after the iPhone 4.0 ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”grin” style=”border:0;” />
    Exxon will be #2 by April 2011 ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”grin” style=”border:0;” />
    All driven by revenue numbers by Apple!!!!
    My estimate of $58 Billion revenue for fiscal 2010.
    And by end of April 2011, AAPL revenue on 1Q +2Q 2010 should = $34 billion dollars which will put it nicely about $65 Billion for end of fiscal 2011 ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”grin” style=”border:0;” /> !!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAPL = $420 / share end of 2011!!!!!!!!!!!

    I’ve always thought of trying to ride their waves… I’ve never had the balls to do it. I’ve never sold any Apple shares. It’s just too unpredictable. I always think if I did do it, it will be the one time it continues to go up.

    If it dips, it dips. It will be back up shortly thereafter and I won’t lose any sleep over it.

  4. This is fun but remember everything goes in cycles. The economy still has gaping weak black holes and even Apple at some point will get sucked down temporarily. Ebb & flow are the law of life.

  5. And still Apple hasn’t put in the overdrive! I can’t wait til they get the big a$$ facility in NC up n runnin. It will lock in fine with millions of iPads and get them services u could only imagine. I can see the roadmap and it looks awesome..
