I guess all of this Mac Pro hype is getting around. Let's hope they don't disappoint next week.

I stopped trying to figure it out. My brother-in-law makes his living playing poker. He claims that there is less "gambling" in poker than in the stock market. I'm starting to believe him.

Ah, Bank of America today upgraded AAPL to Buy from Hold, with a target price of $79.

The good news is they are NOT using the iPhone argument for the upgrade. They are claiming the upgrade is worth it based on Mac and iPod sales alone. Maybe AAPL won't drop as much as I might have guessed on Aug. 7.

That's the way it usu works, but not always. Sometimes it just keeps going up after Macworld/WWDC.

With the boring poster out, maybe they clued into the likelihood that there will be no iPhone this time round...

$65 now.

EDIT.

Heh. No. This is it:

"Although the investigation is ongoing, the Company has discovered additional evidence of irregularities," Apple said in an updated statement on Thursday. "In light of this, management has concluded, and the audit committee of the board of directors agrees, that the Company will likely need to restate its historical financial statements to record non-cash charges for compensation expense relating to past stock option grants."

Get your orders in to buy and set your stop loss position now to eke out any gains from next week!

Unfortunate that this happens right before WWDC...

It's back up over $67 now in after-hours trading. It will be interesting to see what happens at the bell. I for one am keeping my stock.

Here is an article about the accounting irregularities:

Apple may need to revise four-years worth of earnings

"Without providing specifics, the Cupertino, Calif.-based maker of Macintosh computer and iPod music players said it had uncovered enough evidence of mishandled stock options to raise doubts about the accuracy of financial statements dating back to Sept. 29, 2002.

During this stretch, Apple has enjoyed one of the most prosperous periods in its 30-year history. Fuelled largely by steadily rising sales of its ubiquitous iPod, Apple has reported $3.1-billion (U.S.) in profit during the past four years.
"

Heh. Right before WWDC. Steve must be pissed.

The problem isn't the honestly (or dishonesty) of most companies, the problem is that the accounting rules are so confusing and convoluted that nobody has a bloomin' clue what's legal and what's not.

I've seen some strange stuff happen that only seems to make sense to the accounting folks.

So, there was some "panic" selling, and then people bought on the cheap. It's back over $68 now again. Quite a bit of fluctuation today though.

Overall the day could have been a lot worse. Let's hope it starts an upward trend again on Monday.

It continued to drop a bit for a while, but it's nice to see that people didn't react too harshly to the revelations of accounting "irregularities".

Back over $67 now.

In other words, it's acting like a normal tech stock.
