Fantastic!
So all the pre-orders sold out over the weekend and we had a nice increase on the news yesterday. What news was there today?
Up $200 since Thanksgiving when it bottomed out after that quarter’s analyst overestimates. That has to be just about the easiest $200 in 3 and a half months. I hope everyone made a lot of money.
Right back at ya Ken. It’s just that I would have felt more comfortable if the run up had been spread out over a few more months instead of all at once. BTW, do you use stop loss orders?
Stop loss orders on apple is a fool’s errand. Nothing like black box trading triggering them all the way down just to buy it all back up- while you’re left to wonder wtf happened.
I almost feel sorry for those investors that followed some analyst’s advice to sell their Apple stock before the iPad announcement and then buy on the pullback that never happened. It just seems too risky to try to play Apple on a day to day basis.
Every day that Apple shares rise, there’s some financial genius saying that that’s the day to sell Apple shares because Apple is rising too far, too fast and is ripe for a pullback. So far, it’s proven to be terrible advice for Apple investors. I know that on some particular day the advice is bound to be correct, but who knows exactly what day that will happen.
Apple stock has exceeded all my expectations, so I don’t need to be greedy. I’ll just sell off a few shares or so when I need the money for a specific purpose and be content even if Apple stock is down a bit. I see that Apple is already up over 30% and it’s only a few months into the year, so there’s nothing to cry about. Out of all the stocks in the market, how many companies can make that claim. Apple long since 2004.
I am not sure why you area telling us all your personal plans here. Are you looking for confirmation that you are on the right track?
He is looking for your validation. And only yours.
It is starting to look scary. How quickly it’s going up. I hope when it corrects it will do it slower.
At least it paid for my new iPad.
Yeah, one share = one iPad. Crazy.
Why “scary”? It’s long overdue. Relax.
Hey Mikey, he don’t likey!
Ho-hum…. another day, another million.
Ok, I’ll admit it. I sold some (just a little!) today. 😀
2.9% sure goes a whole lot further than it did a few years ago. Just think how much a pop will push it up in another 2-3 years!
Reuters — The S&P 500 closed at a level not seen since June 2008 in a sign that the market foresees more strength in the U.S. economy in coming months… Investors also welcomed a more upbeat assessment of the economy from the Federal Reserve and a solid report on retail sales… Technology stocks were also strong, with shares of Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500) rising to a fresh all-time high on upbeat analysts comments.
I remember when AAPL was about 11% of my portfolio; not anymore. Wow!
So Tim should have held off a day. Cool 1/4 mill, could have helped with taxes.
Nice, Apple now at 1.93 * MS and closing…..
There’s a small typo in the pricing. It closed up $16.10, not $16.91, and the price was $568.10 rather than $568.01. I’ve also got $529.7 as the marketcap. Strange, but their numbers on various stocks are sometimes different. Usually the only problem is with Exxon.
I know it seems small, but I’ve always learned that a penny off could be $10.
See, I made a typo too!
