If Apple were to get into bed with HP on more things I think it would be in the server area more than the consumer area - leveraging HPs sales force for business clients.
Don't think that will happen, but HP may pick up other little bits, like Airport Express, after they have had an initial burst of sales after release. Say in about a year for the AE.
I could also see Apple coming up with other neat ideas that will have a huge initial sales through Apple only outlets, then be co-marketed with other major brands. Maybe HP, maybe someone like GE, but not Dull.
The fact is that Apple has a huge advantage when it comes to innovation and they have an open field when it comes to sales and distribution. Things are going to get interesting over the next few years.
Exactly. I usually believe the efficient market theory, but stuff like this makes me wonder. I sold my AAPL today and plan to buy it back in a few weeks at around 31 or 32.
Good luck 3.1416. Apple shares close the week at $34.35. The four year high
was $34.19 which was considered former resistance. By closing above this
it now becomes major support according to technical theorists. But you are right about letdowns after big Mac events.

I think it's quite realistic to expect a bit of a price-drop on Apple stock during the timeframe of mid-Sept to the beginning of October, if only because the entire Nasdaq tends to do that every year. I recently picked up some shares in another tech company, and I'm expecting them to spike up a bit higher around Sept 8 or 9th, at which point I'll sell 'em, and reinvest around the end of September.
My other comment regarding the stock market is that there is a great deal to it which frequently seems outright silly. For example, the usual "buy/hold/sell" ratings by analysts are frequently out of whack with reality.

This whole thing about people buying iBooks because of their iPods is pretty helpful:
