Hello all, I bought apple stock a year ago at 65 dollars... as some of you know, it is now at 81.2 ...

are you guys selling? or are you going to wait until macworld to see if it hits 90? are you going to sell now, with the impression it is going to go back down to the low 70s and then buy again?

Sell it when it peaks. Simple as that

-t

Frugle · Oct 23, 2006, 01:53 PM

ha! I wish I could do that. and buy it when it troughs..

I thought it was fairly valued at 70. If I had any, I'd be selling it, personally. No sense in getting greedy

If the mac sales numbers for this last quarter are any indication, the company is going to continue growing in the coming years. The stock will go up and down of course, but unless there is a big change in their strategy, or the overall computer market, the company will be bigger & stronger a year from now.

Any of you have all your retirement in the AAPL basket?

If they had bought at the right time, they are probably already retired!

I am going long, and plan to buy in more as it becomes affordable.

AAPL got to the mid-80s with less impressive earnings than what it's shown now. Tech is hot right now and should remain so through the end of the year. AAPL usually leads when tech is hot - last year it was the number 1 best performing stock (even better than Google). Therefore, I forecast that we will see a new 52 week high before the end of year. Buy now, sell in January near the top, then buy again in the summer near the low.

Yeah, to do that, you'd need to invent time travel. Good luck.

I hope that's a joke.

that was also my opinion formed from listening to Jim Cramer.

I too am a disciple of Cramer, and my broader tech analysis comes from him.

I mean to buy in at low points while the stock continues to rise. No time travel required.

The Core 2 Duo MacBooks are going to provide a big bump up in Mac sales. The question is do the Wall Street kids already know that? I think Mac's market share is headed up.

G4ME · Oct 24, 2006, 08:37 PM

just like every other product release? That upgrade was rather weak but needed IMO

I just see it as progress as the company moves its product line along. It wasn't a question if they were going to put them in, more of when.

Frugle · Oct 24, 2006, 08:54 PM

yeah, I think I am the only one a little dissapointed by the release... I don't expect it to have a dramatic impact on the stock price.

Big Mac · Oct 25, 2006, 12:19 AM

The important change in recent quarters regarding Apple's stock price is that Wallstreet is now taking Mac sales growth seriously. Previously, the iPod was the sole driver of the stock. With gains in Mac market share, Apple has two vehicles attracting investment dollars. And if iTV is even moderately successful, there will be a third. Cramer said today that he expects AAPL to go to 100.
