“There are ample reasons to believe that the company’s rise is just starting and that Apple will continue blowing past expectations,” Bleeker writes.
Bleeker writes, “Apple is the king today, and I don’t see it being displaced. During the next two or three years, I have little doubt that it will keep soaring.”

Dear Motley Fool,
Where were you in 2001 when I started saying that?
Dear C1,
I was with you in 2001, although dreaming that, I must confess.
But now it’s becoming common sense!
Cheers
Yeah, but Apple wasn’t king in 2001.
Being a prophet ahead of the times usually leads to stonings.
I was stoned once.
Google newsed ‘Apple’ this morning, lots of FUD articles, doom trend rising to fever pitch, has made me laugh and shake head for decades. Nice to see good predictions.
Used a lady’s iP4 at a dog park the other evening, just awesome piece of fast powerful computing; she was thrilled as a 1st time owner.
Apple didn’t just acquire it’s loyal supportive and knowledgable user base.
Those who know, know that they know…
Those who dont, do windows.
Most become prophets only after they are stoned.
@Cascadians
You are right. The shills are really scared. Verizon more than anyone. The bleeding must be grave.
It’s already the most valuable company in MY world, and that’s all I really give a shit about, so…
My thoughts exactly!!!
Since I own stock I am all for hearing “Apple will become the most valuable company in the world. Bet on it,”… I already have.
and
“Apple is the king today, and I don’t see it being displaced. During the next two or three years, I have little doubt that it will keep soaring.”
However, is Apple Apple or is Jobs Apple? When Jobs retires or Heaven forbid passes on, that at any age, 50 or 100, will be a loss to the tech world due to his innovation and foresight. Now we have seen Apple, Inc. keynotes given by other talented and capable people for sure, but they were no way near the class, style and charisma of a Steve Jobs. And what of the projects brewing in Apple’s R&D labs… what will become of them and what will become of future “One more thing!”?
Apple’s recent meteoric rise whose accent began with the return of iCEO Jobs, one has to wonder, will it continue to reach for the stars or will it plateau, will it stagnate, will it become a rudderless ship without Jobs?
So I ask again, is Apple Apple or is Jobs Apple and with regards to the latter, if one in that equation is missing, will Apple no longer be Apple? And will Apple’s rise cease?

It’s good to be the King! Long live the King!!
Back in March 2001, I knew in my gut Mac OS X was going to take Apple a long, long way, and it has been one great ride.
Thanks, Apple, for all the great things you’re accomplishing!

I thought I was a prophet then I got stoned…and then I uh…. I uh…I…nevermind
… this is Motley Fool. Analysts! Why is there no “stone the ignorant analyst” card being played? Because he said something you can agree with? Well … THAT’S just wrong! Besides, it obviates my role as “Defender of Motley Fool”, a role I’ve enjoyed for years. By the way, I’ve also touted AAPL to the Fools … it goes both ways.
C1 … it was pretty obvious to some of us back in 2001 that AAPL was headed for low Earth orbit, but it had a long way to go to prove itself and there were quite a few times when few of us could predict where the next step would be or where it would lead.
Things were much less sure back then, it’s true. But when I started using OS X I knew it was going to be the foundation of everything. One look at the iPod said it all – Apple took something that was previously technically complicated and confusing for average people, and made it as simple to use (and more importantly, as simple to buy) as a pair of sunglasses. Frankly, I didn’t think it would take a decade to get to the iPad, but it’s exactly what I’ve been dreaming about ever since.
Back then, I started buying AAPL and my dad put his inheritance (and therefore indirectly, mine) into…. God it hurts to even type this….
DELL.
:'(
I tried to tell him.
It’s a well run company with a very bright future and a nice sell off would be a buying opportunity for those, like me, not planning to sell anytime soon. BTW- those of you who think you are left out by the high price can buy in fractional amounts ($ investing rather than whole shares) from a number of legit sources.
Sorry about the typo.

The fact that huge fanfare, popularity, humongous growth and support has continued to build (not to mention the mass desertion and switching by windows users), is testament to the fact that despite a widespread epidemic and mass proliferation of defective mutated and inbred DNA strains, there is still intelligent life on the planet and hope that it will regain dominance and rule in the immediate future.
Consider that Apple only has global 3~4% market share in both the handset and PC markets. Apple still has long, long ways to go. The next 10 years should be even more fun than the past decade. Having been a Mac user since ’89 and having lived through the dark ages (90’s), it’s great to experience this golden age of Apple but it’s quite obvious that the best years are still ahead of us.
@ alexkhan2000
I completely agree. Apple is now poised to really reinvent the whole industry.
C1,
“I completely agree. Apple is now poised to really reinvent the whole industry.”
And Micro$haft is trying to hold them back kicking and screaming.
It’s Apple vs. Exxon now for the coveted top spot. But given the volatility in energy prices, they’re likely to be in race conditions for a while before a clear winner emerges.
