    yeah, see apparently you haven't figured out that the stock exchanges are pretty much the 8th mystery of the world.



    Plain and simple...Nasdaq doesn't like Apple. can you blame them though? let's see....

    you've got two products with the same name in your line up. One of which hasn't been updated in over 10 months, but it's price is on a roller coaster ride.



    The towers are overpriced junk (in the eyes of wall street).



    whether they admit it or not. .Mac is a .bomb. widely missing its 250k subscribers by sept 30th mark.



    Then there's the west coast dock strike....



    shall i go on?





    the only good thing they have done lately is the iPod for windows, and putting it in best buy was even better.





    give it a few weeks, let them report earnings. But i guess it really doesn't matter if they report a profit anyways....the stock will go down...just like it always has....

    hmm.. maybe I should start looking at buying some shares? Apple must be the most underpriced stock out there...

    I made a tidy sum on the last AAPL surge. I used to joke that their computers weren't worth it but their stock was. haha... The scary part of that run up, which took 'em from about 17 to over 100, was that it might have all been attributable to Jobs' cachet and stylized computers -- and the pre-burst buble, natch. Will Apple make a similar climb in the next two years? I dunno. It was a company considered to be in the toilet just as tech boom shot its last load, so with the right propaganda (Jobs, colors, "No really, we're not dead, look M$ even wants a piece") They had huge potential in that stock. They were in a lucky position to go from hugely under-valued to hugely over-valued in the space of 2 years. I lost my nerve and sold just before the split. I'm not complaining, but I coulda made a bit more. Still, I did better than those poor guys who held on a couple of weeks too long.



    The cash in the bank would be quickly depleted in any significant buy-out move or last ditch attempt to grow/save/secure the company. 50 cents is about right considering the muddy future. And the more they spend (thereby shrinking their balance) the lower the share price will go.



    Maybe I'll buy a little AAPL again, it's lower now than it was when I first got into this whole Apple scene.

    I'm jtus kicking myself...cause I predicted that 17-100 jump(I didn't anticipated it to goto 135 or whereever it capped out...but I thought it would go up)

    so I tell my broker I WANT AAPL STOCK! he saysI don't know about that niche market this niche market thatand at the time I wasn't very adamant bout it but would haveben prepared to buy 150-300 shares at 16 per...needless to say I could have made ALOT of money even after taxation....enough to buy a sweet tower now at least.

    I have about 300 shares total now that I got at like 40 per, and 14 per,again kicking myself.I doubt that it will ever hike like it did 3 years ago,the market is oversaturated, for apple to do what they did 3 years ago they would need something that no one has ever thought of before...ever, not just faster this or more style in that.





    on another note





    the delete button on windows is bar none the worst idea ever

    it not only deletes whats infront and not behind....but it seems to remove that space effecitvely forcing you to re type everythign for it to make sense.

    The problem with AAPL right now is that while the company is turning in a profit, it's largely due to it bank roll. It makes a ton on interest on that 4bil. People have said that AAPL is a good investment broker that happens to make computers. They're not going to get any better until they begin to make some headway on the towers. Right now, they are selling like crap (just observation, no hard data). And the iMac hasn't changed since it was introduced. Not a good recipe for moving machines. As said earlier, the ONLY thing they've really done right is the iPod. But I'm holding on to my AAPL because it will come back. I'm not too worried about it.

    I didn't say that the mission that motivates you is upping your post count; I said you could have done it without waving your @ss in the air.

    Anyone think Nortel can go any lower? Now I hear they wanna consolidate their shares in whatever ratio they need to get into the $10-20 /share range. Maybe then they'll drop a little further? People who think they took a bath on AAPL can smile at the poor dopes who really got reamed on Nortel.

    Hey, I have quite a few buddies who work at Nortel. Their visions of retirement have gone out the window as the value of their shares have practically disappeared.



    Not sure it will come back up either as all telecoms such as Lucent are also hurting.



    As far as Apple, it'll go back up but only riding a wave when the rest of the high tech sector moves up.

    Unfortunately, Apple doesn't have that killer product (anymore). It will remain a niche player unless it decides to "really" gain marketshare. Sure, the "switch" campaign is trying to do that but, enough with the high prices. Wall Street and Joe Public sees this only as bad news.

    Yeah company shares seem to be a real bitch. People get killed on them way too often. If I ever get company shares where I work (can't happen, but you bnever know where I might work in the future) I'm selling them off straight away. You think you know a company 'cause you work there, but it's a dangerous (illusory) sense of security. It's easier to stay critical of companies you aren't associated with. A couple of my high-school buddies are still holding Motorola shares they got when they worked their 2 years ago. Some were part of their packages, some they bought at a discount (15% under market value). Anyway, if they dropped them now, they'd lose their money. So they're left holding some.
