    Does Apple Need an Enterprise Strategy After All? [view article]
    7.5 million iPhones in one quarter. That is the enterprise strategy. PS that is more than the 6.1 million phones shipped by Rimm. Reply

    Well, I hate to say it but Zach is right in some ways about this.

    Despite Apple's excellent products and position, this market is tanking big time - as I figured it had to some years since. The only things keeping it afloat were the housing bubble (which I also saw coming and sold up while the getting was good) and of course, Greenspan's "irrational exuberance." (Oh yeah - and the M-I complex's war profiteering outfits...)

    The Street is rather like a bipolar case off their meds at the best of times, and in this situation and economy, more so.

    However, as Baron Rothschild is said to have remarked; "Buy when the blood is running in the streets." (One hopes he was being metaphorical, and that it doesn't actually come to that...)

    However, my bet long term remains on Apple. I sold off half my shares when they were high. As I had bought low, they paid for the lot, with a few bucks profit, so its "house money" now - and I plan to keep what I have, and when I think it has bottomed out, get more.

    If you can't stand the heat, then by all means get out of the kitchen - all these amateurs and day-traders have helped create the havoc in the market (along with some corporate greed-heads at various levels and their political accomplices).

    Like Zach, I don't anticipate any speedy recovery from this, so don't bet your bottom dollar on ANY stock - unless you can afford to lose it. Remember, the market is just like Vegas - a gamble - but if you have done your homework and due diligence, AND are lucky... you may come out on the other side (whenever and wherever it is) in one piece.

    As to the notion that cash is somehow "safer" - don't forget what "cash" is - paper - with NOTHING behind it anymore. So as to gold and silver, own some (the real thing, not "shares"). Same goes with food - own some (real) food, not just shares. If the foreign investor trends continue, and any more oil producers yank the petrodollar, be aware that the BIG crash will come sooner rather than later, as all the US has left as a real ace in the hole is its military machine...

    Meantime, good luck to all of you.

    If you buy into AAPL here, just make sure you set your exit strategy from the get go. And don't rely on something as lame as a trailing stop which does not take into account anything about the stock or market conditions. And please - don't rely on mental stops. Get disciplined about using an intelligent exit strategy. Reply

    Invest now and don't be called crazy. Be called smart because you learned how important it was to have an exit strategy in place from the start. You were the smart one because you were then in cash and could take advantage of some of these great opportunities. But you also were smart and realized even when entering a brand new position, you were going to establish that exit point and keep adjusting it to market conditions. Reply

    3 Stocks That Are Begging To Be Bought [view article]
    You can always go long, just be sure you have your exit strategy in place from the start. Otherwise you are like this friend of mine who was proudly strutting his stuff saying how he got in google in the 300's... and when I asked him - did he get out at least in the $680 range ? No .. he was holding on. ouch! Reply

    I don't care - AAPL will go up, the question is only when. $25 of the share price are held in cash, iPhones are flying off the shelves and a major product transition is about to arrive that will have a similar effect to the iPhone - namely a technology that others can't match easily, or cheaply, or any time soon.
    Witness the iPhone competition - it's still far behind over a year after the 1G was introduced.
    Add to that a still pretty large untapped international potential for iPhones and Macs. Macs are at 8% in the U.S. and at 3% in Europe and Asia. How much is an almost guaranteed growth from 3% to 8% in EU and Asia worth?

    Disclosure: I am getting all the AAPL I can at these discounted prices.     Reply

    This estimate may be based on shaky data, but at least it is not an outright false rumor! There is actual logic in the estimate unlike many other bad stories, yet it was hard to bump into this story today. But if some 10 year old kid posts on Myspace that Steve Job's had a heart attack, it makes headline news.
    Well thanks for trying Zaky/Muller, and I hope the data is accurate!     Reply

    This will not last. The music industry has made a very stupid move, one that is not in the best interest of artists, or the industry. "all-you-can-eat&... is not smart business and will create an even faster decline in revenues for all. This is a panic plan... Reply

    Toni -: "Trailing PE is based on future guessed predictions."

    You don't really have any idea what "trailing PE" means, do you?     Reply

    People are certainly in the Halloween holiday spirit right now. Everyone is all dressed up scary, flailing there hands around, and going "wooooooooooooo&q... and "BOO!"
    Sure times are bad right now, but never underestimate the media's flare for drama.
    The people that have the most cash are going to want the best price to get back in. These people will be dressed the scariest and screaming the loudest.     Reply
