AAPL shares close up 8 percent

I bought Apple when it dropped in 2000. On the day it dropped 20 points, I still had almost 800% growth.

I don't think not releasing the new notebooks had much to do with the drop. Apple stock, like Apple Products, has become a shiny thing on Wall Street. It's a benchmark now, and it's going to lead the way up or down as larger forces swing the market.

As a truly long investor, I could care less when the new notebooks come out. What really moves Wall Street with regard to aapl is strategic initiatives, like Boot Camp. Clearly quarter after quarter of beating estimates doesn't do it!

I picked up some more aapl in the bargain bin yesterday morning. I'll be bragging about it ten years from now when they say "If you'd put $10,000 in aapl in 2008 you'd have $xxx,xxx today...."

The stock market is just a gamble now.....

I think it's a sell. The entire computer line is long in the tooth. Who would even buy a Mac now?

What the hell happened to Google?

Well, if they would release those new laptops already, I'm sure their share price will go up... grrr

(waiting since May)

Damn, I knew I should've bought a million shares this morning!
