If AAPL drops to around 137 or 136 just before today's close, I'll probably snag a big handful of shares. It's a good bet the news will be good tomorrow.
Last time this happened, I made 50% on my money in 3 months.
Just bought more AAPL @ $136.26. Tomorrow's gonna be one volatile ride! Enjoy!!
Doesn't look like AAPL will go lower than 138 today... yet....
Update: Just went to 136 1/2! Guess I bought me some more AAPL!
Looks like AAPL ran out of buyers. I sold mine around 138.5. I'll hold out for a few more days. Stock should drop a good bit after earnings when all the people who bought because of the pie in the sky forecasts are disappointed and sell. Hopefully I'll pick shares back up around the end of the week 10 points lower or so. If it's higher, then whether I buy back or not depends on the earnings. The stock's ahead of itself and will be lower than 130 at some point later this year, the key is to be patient Good luck all.
Don't worry, Steve Job's won't put you on the "do not sell and iPhone to this man" list if you sell your Apple stock and buy it back later after it's at a less bubblicious level.
Hopefully will all be laughing comes thursday!! After an outstanding Apple quarter.
Right?? Closed below 135 today
Didn't I read a report saying that the iPhone returns - no matter how big or low - would not shake the quarter earning .... so why are people so scared about the iPhone ATT activation report??
Geez... I'm hoping AAPL was simply driven down by the overall market today, combined with the "news" from at&t, plus the bad news from the housing sector.
but how many people who bought an iphone are NOT going to activate. i'm sure verizon, tmoble only bought a few to rummage through and won't activate and i'm sure a few bought to hack and didn't activate, maybe even a few that bought and kept them in the boxes for appreciation value and collector potential.
what are the real "sold numbers" that's the meat and the proof.
i bet verizon and tmoble bought a boat load and will plan to return them to throw off apples numbers in a cynical strategy to hurt apple and push people to their own service
another point--is there another phone out there anywhere that 150k were sold and activated in 2 days......it only brings more power to apple negotiations for europe and asia

iPhone numbers will have zero impact on the quarter. Only 2 days worth of sales, and those two days only count for 1/8 of their actual amount because of the accounting method Apple used. So while the NEWS about the sales of iPhones may (and most certainly will, frankly) move the stock, the actual revenues and profits will not show up any more than a pebble tossed into a river.

Buy the rumor, sell the news. And there's more news coming tomorrow.

Head in the sand?

Not at all... I know AAPL's drill.
BTW, this could be a prime time to buy AXP (American Express)! They dropped nearly 6% today also.
