For some reason, everyone is dumping their stock because we didn't see an iMac yesterday. Maybe it's just me, but after watching the Tiger demo, I'd be buying tons MORE stock if I hadn't spent all my money on a G5 yesterday. WTF? Anyways, all of you "sellers" can whine when the stock jumps to 35+ after this quarterly report. And I'll laugh at you. Sigh, ok I'm better now.

    You do know that people buy stock to make money and not because of customer loyalty right?! The price for Apple stock has practically tripled since I was looking at it for around 12 bucks a share, and to make triple is great, especially when there is nothing really huge pending from Apple...It is an ideal time to sell, because it is easy to dump, and a great profit to boot.

    if you were an investor with those views (that the next quarterly is going to be FABU) you keep your mouth shut and buy as much as you could, because that's how the stock market works. you know...buy low sell high, (it was at the highest point in 3 years, yeah? that alone will make many investors sell off, or take profits if you will.)



    but apparently you think a stock market quote is some kind of barometer of hipness or whatever.

    i agree with most of what you said, but you cant deny the "coincidental" timing of the stock's drop off after about two weeks of excellent growth.

    most people call it a correction. i think it's where it should be, maybe still a little high since they appear to be twiddling their thumbs lately.

    if it weren't for iPod where do you think it would be?

    iTMS and iPod has been running up the stock, more music announcements will equal a higher stock, that's all Wall St cares about from Apple right now, the music business and the PowerMac business.

    There is always a let down after a trade show like that, people either believe that it was great but the stock is maxed out, or like yesterday, leave the show so damnd disapointed that they sell, most of the financial guys feel like they were sold a bill of goods on what was supposed to happen at the keynote.



    what I woulda done: (not hinesight, butbased on what I know about the market place)



    yesterday at open I woulda dumped all of apple and set part of the $ asside to buy at 12-16, and likewise sell the morning of MWSF keynote.

    I have ~2500 dollar worth of Apple stock right now. Unfortuntely, because the dollar is so low, i wouldnt earn anything on selling it now..



    If the dollar was at its place before 9/11, I would have ~3500 dollar worth of stock instead..



    And that would be quite nice.. But oh well, the dollar have until the Powerbook G5 to rise. :P
