Where, pray tell, is the big psychology-induced sell-off? I thought that hitting the 300 mark was supposed to cause a bunch of long-term big money to pull out.
Huh.

The traders , shorts and gamblers got caught with their pants down…they didn’t expect 300 so soon before Xmas, they didn’t expect a massive all encompassing iPad marketing rollout, theybexpected production constraints, they didn’t expect the Verizon iPad and iPhone rumors to be confirmed officially so soon, they didn’t expect nokia, Google and Mr Softie to be tripping over each other to Apple’s benefit right before the holidays and they didn’t see the train passing so fast that 350 is almost her before earnings….Apple’s upcoming event, just two days after earnings (just like the last one…) is another speed bump in their strategy and Muliti carrier explosions worldwide are about to change that selloff plan too…

@breeze, there have been no Verizon iPhone rumors that have been confirmed. Everything is still rumors at this point.

Considering I have seen you on here for years, I thought you would already know. Once Apple announces record earnings, facetime across the ecosystem, more iPhone4 countries, and a tabletop fusion reactor to power all your iDevices, the stock will drop just as it always has.

v, b very good for Apples, oh and who expected “the hobby” to catch fire like it has…?
MacBill:
If a Verizon iPad doesn’t confirm soon to follow Verizon iPhone, then you might as well question whether Lion will be the focus of Apple’s next event or for that matter whether Verizon got the iPad ( Apple makes that wonder…) by accepting Apple’s terms or by dictating it’s….

Oh I know the pattern well. But, in my brave opinion, it’s not going to happen. Not this time.

I’m guessing you usually hit the space bar with your right thumb, as I usually use my left. If our car ever breaks down and we have to hitchhike, we should do fine.

I assumed there would be a big sell off but we may be starting just the opposite. It’s happened before. About 6 years back I sold my Apple stock before a quarterly result thinking that as usual the stock would go down and I could jump back in.
However that time the iPod mania finally sunk in to the brokers and the stock took off instead of dropping.
I finally bought the same # of shares again at 5 times the original price I paid. If I had held onto the original shares I would have over 60K in my account with an initial 3K investment.
We may be seeing the beginning of another one of those huge jumps in price. I hope so cos I’m in for the long haul now.

I’m thinkin’. The thing is, the well-moneyed bozos always had some excuse and some other business model to compare it to. “Well, Macs are doing fine, but they’re not doing business like MS, so we don’t see it lasting.” Something along those lines. The iPod was something different, and as you correctly point out, for a while they seemed to get it.
We’re in the same position with the iPad, but arguably much stronger this time, because iOS is already a proven performer and a well known quantity, and no one, NO ONE has a competing slate on the market yet, and the ones that are coming, we’ve already seen. Add that to today’s Mac sales figures…

I am one who was quite certain programmed SELLs would drop Apple’s stock temporarily, after the 300 mark.
I am pleasantly surprised that that doesn’t seem to have happened.
Or has it?
I’m wondering if Apple’s stock would be climbing much faster right now, if a bunch of automated, 300-tagged, SELLs weren’t diluting Apple’s climb at the moment.
eg: Maybe 100 million shares are being purchased right now, but maybe at the same time, 100 million shares are automatically being sold at the same time.
I’ll never know if that’s happening or not.
If it’s not, Apple’s stock price will continue to steadily climb.
But if it is, watch for a significant rebound leap in Apple’s stock price, as the money from the 300-tagged, auto dumps, goes right back in to Apple shares, as the original owners of those shares realise that they’d better very quickly get back on board the Apple Express, before they lose more than a couple of dollars on the turn-over.
Tomorrow’s APPL activity should give us a better picture.
