I own 1300 shares. If I had more money to borrow I would buy more. I made 29K last year from it. This stock will double in one year and here is why.
I just bought my wife's office a new MacBook Pro yesterday. When I talked to the salesman he state they were selling them like hotcakes. I had to wait in line to buy the system. Last time this was happening it was just before the stock went over 90 and split.
The main reason Apple is doing well is the iPod. On the plane and on the subway and in school yards and at the gym everyone has iPods. Now people are buying Apple computers because of Intel inside. With Parallels one can run Windows and Mac at the same time. This reason alone and all the other great things from Apple will increase Apple market share.
The next big thing will be the iTV. A year or two from now it will rock the way iTunes and iPods rock now. When Walmart feel threatened Watch OUT. The grow potential is great in this area for Apple.
iPhone will take time to mature due to contract obligations of most celluar customers. It will keep Apple in the news but not really add much to the bottom line.
Wu is an idiot who talks out of both sides of his mouth. He is trying to lower the stock and it worked a little today.
I have a lot more than that, and despite the silliness expressed on the boards over what these people say, they usually do make sense.
Several of them predicted the rise in Apple's stock several years ago, and people here were making the same comments.
I see the stock rising more as well, and likely, eventually, the stock will rise to $120. But that is more speculation that is warranted from what we DO know.
These analysts have to work from what they find out from sources than none here can hope to match. It's their job to state what they know. That's what they do.
If the day traders then run with that and run the stock up, that's too bad. But that happens all of the time. What he's doing here, is telling investors that the recent run-up has gotten ahead of what the company has out, and shown. The run has come on speculation that, at this time, is unwarranted.
He does think the stock will rise to $99 in the future, perhaps in the next few months. But, first we have to see the actual figures for this quarter. Then we have to see if any of these hoped for new products?which Apple has said nothing at all about, will appear in time for the holiday season. Then we will have to see the results for that.
People here tend to jump the gun upon the slightest speculation, and assume that these are actual products when they are not.
Need I remind anyone here that we have been expecting the "true" video iPod since last January, and the iPhone since sometime early this year?
Neither product appeared, nor did the set-top box that many here predicted at the time.
That, and the market's performance overall, was why the stock dipped to almost $50.
Every time the speculation machinery was in form, the stock would take a sharp rise, only to fall back most of the way.
He's just warning investors that it may happen again if Apple does not come out with those often speculated upon products, when people are expecting them.
Nothing wrong about that. It's what he should be doing.

I agree, my $120 comment was just a bit of tongue-in-cheek flippancy.
My more serious point was that I think Apple has enourmous potential at this point, and just needs to execute on the obvious things, without a whole lot of risk or innovation, to grow enourmously. And I think Steve Jobs & Co are more than capable of excuting on the obvious things.
There was another investment analyst quoted on here who said that he believed Apple had passed an 'inflection point', and I think I agree with him.

We also have to see how the Zune does. While we all think that it isn't much, if it looks as though it will do even moderately well, Apple's stock would drop.
Out of the gates (no pun intended) the Zune may attract the early adopter crowd, then fall off dramatically. Whatever the case, expect the media blitz to be intense and the iPod bashing should be also.

MS will be spending far more than Apple will on ads. That will have some impact. You can be sure that they will show the features in their best light. There are people who feel about MS the way most here feel about Apple, hard as that may be to believe. They will rush out and buy this.

i imagine that they will be significantly less.

does anyone have any indication on if the margins on the iphone will be more or less than the current video ipods?
i imagine that they will be significantly less.
I would think that it would be about the same.
