I am sure that is already priced into it.

 

[rudeguy]

we don't need another one of these threads

 

[RossMAN]

And to think 3.5 years ago (March 2009) it was under $100.

Where's my damn time machine?

 

[ThermalShark]

LOL something tells me thus thread will be bumped for years...

 

[PeeluckyDuckee]

When does saturation and plateau begin for Apple and their iPhones? In NA we're near that point I'd imagine, the growth and potential is outside of NA. As for shorting Aapl, I am not playing either sides. Near term it may have peaked but long term I'd go with the trend.

I don't know about that... but when iPhone 5 comes out, 4 and 4S sales go down. Some replacement, some new?

 

[Double Trouble]

Given the run that Apple has had over the past few years, there's not a chance in hell that I'd bet against them.

 

[ArizonaSteve]

I'm considering it. Mainly because the cult of Jobs is no more.

 

[BrokenVisage]

Soy soy soy!

 

[jaha2000]

i bought 50k worth at 210 a share or so.

Yep
that one paid off, and now dividends are starting again.

Wish I had purchased C for $1 a few years ago then sell when it hit $50

Uh, no, C did a 10:1 reverse split. Ask me how I know.

What you really wanted was buying LVS when it was a buck and change a few years ago. I was staring right at it, traded it like crazy, didn't hold on to an of it.

Edit: but I agree, short AAPL. They're jumping the shark, the signs are showing.

OK attention whore (in the making) how do you know? :awe:

Now that they are suing Samsung, they want to switch the source of their chips, but where do they get them? TSMC is already backed up.

Samsung also makes the best LCD displays.

They were stupid to try to screw Samsung, when Samsung makes so much of their hardware.

Will ditching Samsung parts mean Apple struggles to meet demand for iPhone 5? http://www.macworld.co.uk/ipad-iphone/news/?newsid=3381362

LOL, because I took almost a 40% loss when they did a reverse split and started tanking and never recovered, which is where it sits today.

EDIT: lol, reading that thread, I even went against my own advice in that thread and bought C. I knew about C breaking up, selling their assets before they announced it to the public.

No saturation - repeat customers will buy it. Apple plays market very well. One smart phone released per year. Which means about half of current iphone owners are eligible for upgrade now.

 

[brianmanahan]

buy VTSMX, save until you retire.

Who the fuck wrote that article? I thought the first use of "role" was just a brain fart... seems like this is the kind of quality we can expect from internet sources now?

 

[Baked]

I did some calculation. If I had purchased some AAPL just before Steve raise from the dead (literally, not physically) and kept it until a year ago, I could've retired and live happily ever after for a few life times. I suck at gambling.

 

[Crono]

I'll eat my hat if competition from Microsoft, Samsung, Google, et al doesn't start eating into their market shares for all their devices.

(luckily I don't wear a hat, but I'll wager by November we start seeing the downward trend of Apple)

When all the broke indebted college students graduate with their iGadgets they will go from being associated with iCool promising generation Y to no money, in debt up to their eyeballs, iDerped my money away broke asses.

Won't be so cool anymore when everyone who has an apple product is most likely poor.

When everyone figures out that generalization their popularity is done for no matter what products they create. You can tell they are tempted to create cheaper iCrap for the now iBroke people.
