Apple stock only $350 in after hours trading
The reason this deal is slick is that idiots are panic selling because Steve Jobs is resigning as CEO. As any competent human being would know, Apple Inc.'s value is not tied up in one man. So go buy some Apple stock on the cheap and make some money.

Apple stock: From $6.56 to $403 in about 8 years [latimes.com] Anybody get in under $7? LoL, seriously though, Unbelievable!!
Analysis: Jobs move cracks door open for Apple rival Samsung [reuters.com] Samsung gets boost from Dutch court, Jobs resignation [yahoo.com] Another take on Apple on 08.12. /2011... Heebner Bets on JPMorgan Chase, Tiffany While Selling All Shares in Apple [bloomberg.com] Heebner, 70, ran the best-performing diversified U.S. stock fund over a 10-year period for 11 straight quarters before he was unseated in the first quarter of 2011 by Thomas Soviero, manager of the $4.2 billion Fidelity Advisor Leveraged Company Stock Fund. He had boosted shares of Apple in the first quarter and is known for making concentrated bets in industries from homebuilding to commodities and for his willingness to shift gears quickly. Apple is the undisputed 800lb. Gorilla, ..... but I believe JPM has more upside over the next 18 months, or so. Any opinions? |
Sorry missed the boat, only had a couple minutes to get it on sale. Back to the program.

Well kids, looks like I made a bad call here. I apologize.
Oh, wait. It's up to 372 from 356 last night. Never mind. Disrespectfully, the n00b trader |

I don't understand some people. Jobs was a CEO and figurehead - he isn't the guy dreaming up Apple's new products; it's not like Apple has now lost the only guy that invents shit. He didn't do anything except grandstand on stage. Talk about overreaction.

BTW, 50 shares of AAPL is about $18k. You wouldn't want to make $1k on that starting capital in a day? I suppose you're more likely to blow that money on a new car or something then. Well, enjoy your useless baubles. I'll be busy securing my kid's college payments and my retirement. |
Quote:
There is a bit of misinformation in your post: You quoted the 15% long terms capital gains tax...surely you know that assets held for <1 year are subject to short term capital gains...which just guessing is 25-28% for you. |
Quote:
As far as blowing that 18k on a car.......rather buy a house out here and rent it to make me 500/mo over cost...... have fun doing that w/ APPL |
Quote:
So yes, I will be paying more in taxes. But doing far less legwork than I would playing Touchpad salesman. :) |
if you have this much faith in apple why not load up......you stand to make a hefty profit if the iphone5 does well.....

The way you "win" with a stock like this is to DCA your investment over time - not going "all in" and hoping for a damn miracle. Do your analysis, set your targets, stay patient, buy when it's out of favor, hold, sell on run ups, buy dips.

He has been a very hands on CEO. Just read one of the numerous recent articles out there. The point is that Steve was involved in minute details of design; establishing Apple's culture and strategic direction. Here: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/26....html?_r=1 |
Quote:
I really don't like DCA...save that for your 401K. in fact..."buying in dips" has nothing to do with DCA since DCA is investing a specified amount on a routine basis. |
Quote:
My initial posting was basically pointing out a dip on a rock solid security. I've never owned Apple before wednesday, but based on the fundamentals, the dip on wednesday seemed like a good opportunity for someone to get in at a slight discount. They could flip it short term and take 5% or hold and reap a nice long term gain. If you want to avoid investing in stocks, thats fine by me- just know that on average the stock market always outpaces every other type of investment out there. Making sensible buys and holding them for the long (or short) term will pay off. |

Yes, I'm saying that Long Term Buy and Hold strategies have not worked for the last 12 years and may not for another 5-7 years (according to Louise Yamada). I made a little over a 60% return on my investments from Oct 2010-April 2011. Since then, it's been a paltry 14% (considering a large portion of my holdings are in precious metals, it wasn't a very good few months). Many could have and have done better than me in the last 10 months. It's easy to feel like a bloody genius in a bull market. Personally, I'm glad that I didn't lose much money in the mini-collapse this month. mustardayonnais, nice 5% gain. Cash out and live to trade another day. |
Quote:
Generally I don't aspire to huge quickie gains- 60% is a great return, so congrats on that. But over time I'd be perfectly happy with 14%. Compounded annually on an intelligently allocated portfolio would put you in great financial stead when it came time to help out with your kid's tuition or retire. |
Quote:
Either way, my point is mustardayonnais that the market has not been good over the last 10 years for the average Joe, unless you timed the market (accidentally or not). I know the virtues of long term buy and hold, it just has not been a good strategy over the last 12 years (unless you made some stellar picks like AAPL). Look at bellwether investments like CSCO, INTC, MSFT, JNJ, DOW, GS and the rest of the financial industry. The trade of this past decade was gold. If you've done well, then you made some good picks. |
Quote:
Rather than % annualized, I personally look at doubling time. At 14%, for ex, the doubling time would be 5 years. Say you picked AAPL at it's peak of $200 in late 2007 and held till it doubled 3.5 years later ($400), then you're at 20% annualized. Is this acceptable for the risk and time? Can you resist puking if it drops in half over a year (like it did)? IME this is a better way to look at an acceptable return as the priority; price comes in next. It also reduces "fishing" for deals. |
i think apple is over valued,any one can make phones ,tablets computers,there is a glut of all 3
itunes could make money but most people download music free,smart phones will kill mp3 and tablet sales,who wants a big expensive underpowered tablet when you can use a phone to do same job,apple is now trying to kill others buy buyying or patenting as much as they can to keep others out this shows they are in trouble as they cant invent a new product,they cancelled ipad3 launch,my guess is they cant sell ipad 2, |
Quote:
iTunes was never designed to make a profit. The revenue AAPL takes in is just enough to cover the costs of running the iTunes store and paying the record companies. It's the opposite of the razor industry, they're giving away the blades to help sell the razors. They have no competition in the high-end ($1000+) computer market (91% market share according to NPD), and Mac sales growth has outpaced PC growth every quarter for 20+ straight quarters. They can't sell iPad 2? :lol: That doesn't even deserve a response. |
you qoting 2009 figures ,45 percent of apples profit is iphone sales,it does not have 4g phone out yet
if they dont bring out 4g this october they wll lose market share,if tmobile and att join apple will have to sell phones to them cheaper -phones are getting cheapersoon you will be able to buy a smartphone with no contract for 100 dollars apples 500 dollar phone will not cut itthey cancelled ipad3 as it was stopping ipad 2 sales hp 99 dollar tablet sell off will hurt ipad sales,who wants to carry around heavy tablet when phone can do same job you can buy a notebook for 250 dollars now which will affect apples 1000 dollar notebook price,in reports it says apple has 10 percent of computer market but they include ipad sales,most people who want a smart phone or tablet have already got one,so they will wait to buy a new one for 2-3 years,as for itouch sales they stopped last year,costco dumped it,other retailers had most left on shelf last christmas apple sells a commodity you will see apple falter once the iphone 5 comes out, you will see apple shares stagnate just like microsoft and intel,computers phones and tablets are getting cheaper,apple does not even appear at its trade shows any more san francisco macworld gets smaller each year |

4 years from now Apple will be far less than what it's worth today. When everyone has a smartphone and tablet that they are content with, no blanket marketing campaigns, no special buzz words like retina display, unibody, apps, etc will save Apple. Sooner or later they will need to accept that they can't just sell stuff to millions of people for 60% profit forever based on the above I just mentioned. Eventually they will need to actually innovate... like actually contribute inventions to the technological community consistently, and not buy these innovations from other companies and put them in their products, then call it magical and sue them right back, because that is exactly what Apple has been doing for the past few years. Best case scenario for them is that they end up like Porsche, retaining a small but profitable marketshare while keeping their core customers.

AAPL monthly since 2003. When any stock leaves it's long term trend channel, you might take caution for an angry bear attack on weakness as it tends to revert back to it (see 2008).
http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l1...t25355PM-1.png Same thing happened to GOOG in late 2007. It eventually gave back more than 75% of it's gains from run up to blow off top. Might be a good buy at $400 if it gets slammed hard and gets extremely oversold. No way I'd touch it now, but WTFDIK? |
Quote:
I bought 8 shares 6 months ago and I'm up about $1,300, haha. Would I buy more shares? I would definitely consider it. Like I said, the price actually doesn't look so scary when you look at the money they are pulling in. I agree the chart looks scary because it's going straight up, but the profits are going right along with it. If the price were going out of control from speculation that would be one thing, but it's not. I think the profits will stay at a high level for a while. When the iPhone 3 comes out later this year, it will help sustain the price or even drive it. I'm trying to buy a house now and every freaking agent I've met has an iPhone. They love those things. Every girl I know wants an iPhone. |

You must have confused it with the iPad |

When you have a single company stock responsible for driving entire indicies, it never ends well. I'm not debating whether it's worth the price or not, I'm simply pointing out based on price action alone that those that ignore history are condemned to repeat it. |
http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/1...gram-2012/
I am a noob at stocks and just want some answers to my curiosity. So if a company repurchases stocks does the price rise since there are less amount of stocks that are out there? Or will it stay the same? |
