Apple starts 2011 as a $300 BILLION company. That’s a happy new year…
Ha, Apple just paid for my holidays. Sweet
Oy vey roadkill on the way to Tahoe.
As Slinky Dog would say, “Hey you’re stretching me longer and longer!”
How many shares could I trade for a kidney?
Google back down to #6. Good job Walmart!
After Apple actually closes at $330 the next point will be $335. Looks to me like the stock has been trending along with the analysts targets posted at aaplinvestors.net.
In the words of the great philosopher Ralph Kramden: “You’re going to the moon Alice.”

Apple should just buy up Dell and use it’s land in Round Rock, TX to build another big mysterious data centre there.. Then build a big as& sign says “Hey, Mikey Boy… Eat this!!”

Acquisitions I’d like to see Apple make this year:
– Dropbox
– Adobe
– Evernote
Why on earth should Apple buy Dell?????????
We don’t have to do that. Dell will be zero in no time.
Apple needs to buy Dell like Mark Fuckerberg needs to have jock rash. But then again since Fuckerberg’s entire Facesuck website is a jock rash…who knows…
Hey Mikey send some plasticized trash to Fuckerberg will ya!
@One Guy From Finland
You are right. Dell is on it’s own destructive path anyway…
Happily enough, none knows about Steve have a little flew… Shares would just drop by half the value within minutes!
