Bullish on Apple?

I recently bought Apple at 61.20 and watched it run up to 93 and change. It was painful not being able to wait out for the long term gain, but I sold at 87.

My thinking is that the stock will take hit in the short term when the disclosures concerning option dating are made. They might even do this around MacWorld time to mitigate it with whatever miracle introduction they make at that time.

Anyway, I still feel great about the long haul. Apple is about to become one of the core worldwide technology retail companies. Just make sure Steve is above room temperature.

this is the same alice lomax that said in october of 2005 the ipod nano was going to be a flop. analysts are morons. period. i have yet to read an opinion on apple that was even half as thought out as a reasonably informed apple user.

i just wish they'd stop spouting nonsense that affect my investment.

I'd be careful until January... if Apple doesn't release the iPhone at Macworld Expo... expect the stock to fall significantly. Right now, so many analysts are talking about iPhone in january that it's pretty much built into the stock price that it will for sure happen in January. And yet Apple has not stated that they will. Nor have they said that the iPhone even exists. So be careful.

Up 715% in five years? Sound familiar to me. Granted, this price jump certainly has some justifications. But new iPod rivals are going to come, and in 20 years those things will sell for like 30 bucks. I'd be careful.

Windows users are moving over. The MacBooks are huge.

Yes you should buy it! iPod and Mac sales are better than ever, and there are no signs that this is going to stop.
