Drop in Apple stock blamed on anticipated capital gains tax hike [u] - Page 4

I have read some ridiculous crap on this website before, but this may take the cake.

 

Apple stock has imploded as a percentage versus the rest of the S&P500.  A change in capital gains rates should affect all stock equally.

 

This is really just humiliatingly stupid.

 

I am a tax attorney, btw, so unlike most of my posts, I am somewhat qualified to comment here.

Well I'd bet the farm that most Android owners have owned at least one type of iPod.

Wow, you are an AI pro, you have clicked that you are wrong, so now are changing your argument to fit. Good job! While you are at it, why don't you bet that all Android users have probably had water to drink in their lives as well.

Lol, I'm just trying to disspell the myth that Android owners (in the US at least) don't know what they're missing out on. Many chose Android while being aware of Apple's build quality and vibrant ecosystem, they simply chose what they thought was a better fit for them, and had nothing to do with a hatred for Apple.

Proving once again that people don't know what they want until you show it to them.

Although we don't have any real certainty as to just how high taxes will go, it is clear they will be higher.  In addition, I haven't seen anyone write about the additional 3.8% ObamaCare Tax on capital gains (on sale of stocks, homes, etc.) for couples/families earning over $250K (Individual=$200K) come 2013.  Anyone whom has a significant holding/gains in AAPL would be foolhardy to not AT LEAST factor in such calculations when it comes to selling this year   ESPECIALLY if they have held it for more than 365 days.  MOI?  I'm holding my shares..and my breath....:)

Just like the Matrix not everyone will accept the program.
