    • Apple Isn't Recession-Proof [view article]
      Toys?

      Computers are essential items, and Apple makes the very best ones.

      These analysts are simply wrong - and will be proved so in the coming months.

      Wal-mart people cant afford Apple products - they never could and never will.

      Does this fool Huberty think that Apple has ever sold to the low-end?

      Apple: recession proof, but not idiot proof, sadly.       Sep 29 12:41 PM
    • Apple Isn't Recession-Proof [view article]
      Apple have a massive percentage of the over-$1000 market, so wouldnt it make more sense to downgrade other producers and NOT Apple?

      Fact is, Huberty is an idiot who has never got it right, and talking about Apple gets you hits and action, because its a one-in-a-million company.

      Sub-$1000? Apple has the Macbook at around $1000 and the MacMini at $599. Hello?

      Time for a complete re-write of the USA stock market system and HEAVY restrictions on 'analysts'.
      Hopefully, Obama will do something about this nasty gambling game and its crooked players.       Sep 29 12:38 PM

      Unregulated Capitalism is a deeply flawed system.

    • Apple: Leading the Way to a Total Tech Breakdown [view article]
      Apple will be affected by the general mess caused by Bush etc.
      The rich have taken all the jewels, now the poor must pay the price.
      Apple make a great line of products - they will continue to outpace all other PC makers.
      When the bottom finally comes, presumably when Obama is Pres., then Apple will rise so fast it will be shocking.

      But in the meantime, all stocks are going to drop.       Sep 15 07:18 AM
    • 6 Things Apple's Not Doing Right [view article]
      An article that makes sense to someone - when that person turns up, please let us know.

      And this is how the value of a company is decided? Madness.       Sep 12 07:31 AM
    • Can Apple Withstand the Financial Sector's Fall? [view article]
      All this 'analysts" are so close to breaking the law that its going to kinda funny when , eventually, the SEC crack down on the amazing manipulation that is going on.

      Hey, did you hear? Steve Jobs has a paper cut! Yeah - lets short the stock.

    • Does Apple's iPhone Increase Browsing? [view article]
      Tried and hated surfing with a host of crappy phones.
      I could see from the ads over a year ago that the iPhone made surfing the web a breeze.

      And guess what? It does! NOTHING else even comes close.

      If you havent tried the iPhone, do so and understand what Apple have done with this thing.

      Its a TOTAL game changer.       Sep 04 12:52 PM
    • Five Reasons Steve Ballmer Thinks Apple's a Buy [view article]
      Apple isnt a 'snob' company - it simply sells good equipment and software. Always has, even when some Idiots were in control. (Sculley etc.)
      Fact is, an Apple Macbook costs $1049, which is maybe $300 more than a crappy Windows laptop. Thing is, you get great FREE software with it, and way more functionality and ease of use.

      College kids are buying these things and NOT buying Windows laptops.

      Microsoft should support Apple and sell them lots of cheap copies of Windows, which, of course, you can ALSO run on a Mac.

      In life, the tides turn, and Microsoft need Apple far more than Apple needs Microsoft.

      Stock will eventually hit $250, its stuck at $170 or so, but then it did just have ten years of massive growth.

    • Why Apple Stock Is Poised To Go Flat - At Best [view article]
      Oh dear. A very poor article, due to a lack of knowledge about this company and its position in the world.

      It has a Unix-based OS that has been universally acknowledged to be the best around, by a country mile.

      Its computers can, and do, run Windows as well as OSX - thats a difficult combo to beat.

      Its iPhone is so much better than everything else, its not funny.

      People need computers - Apple takes 66% of all computer purchases over $1000 - and thats why they make huge profits.

      They have around $25 billion in cash, no debt. Same as Microsoft.

      They are the USA's biggest retailer of music, on or offline.

      Most movies are made with Mac computers and Apple's 'Final Cut Pro' professional editing suite.

      Almost all students are now buying Apple laptops.

      They are eating Dell and HP's lunch.

      Growth may slow, but then how can it continue at over 50% per year?
      Expect solid growth for the next five, and then look at the picture.
      B that time, they may have 40% of the market, which will be huge because they sell both hardware and software - making them almosts impossible to beat.

      The development of Apple since they built their new OS almost 10 years ago underpins all this - they have built an Operating System for the next 25 years.
      Now they are reaping the harvest.       Aug 29 12:33 PM
    • No Leadership from Apple Right Now [view article]
      I dont have any knowledge or skill in stock forecasting, but I do have a strong feeling that Apple is being held back by the economic factors at the moment, and that they will burst out soon and hit $250 - $300.

      It isnt going to stay at $175 for ever, and down for a company posting YOY growth of 40 - 50% seems unlikely.

      US market share for Apple now at 10.5%!       Aug 27 12:45 PM
    • What's Up With 3G Performance in the iPhone? [view article]
      Some good points in the article - its true that the iPhone has USEABLE features which require data connection a LOT more than Nokia etc.

      This is a GOOD thing, but AT&T are not up to the job.

      There is a test here:

      www.engadget.com/2008/.../

      that shows the iPhone is the same as all the other 3G phones.       Aug 25 12:44 PM
    • Apple: An Antidote to iPhone Complacency [view article]
      www.roughlydrafted.com

      Thats where you will find the best Apple analysis - put that together with the cash and the earnings and the almost 50% growth and make your buying decisions.

      Short term - who knows?
      Long term - Apple to hit $300 in 12 months.       Aug 24 04:57 PM
    • Apple: An Antidote to iPhone Complacency [view article]
      The Boeing Jumbo 747-400? You mean the one thats still being produced in huge numbers and still flies the majority of heavy long-haul flights?
      Thats a VERY successful current product.

      Apple isnt going to be beaten down by people who, as you out it, 'procure' software.

      Apple have built their software dominance slowly and carefully - it will take the right people 5 years to even get close, and all the right people dont work at Microsoft or Nokia - they actually work at Apple.

      Screw market share - Apple is making big profits with a small market share.
      Microsoft - 90% share and twice Apple profit. Apple - 6% market share and 50% of Microsoft profit.

      Apple cash - 23 billion and counting.
      Microsoft cash - 25 billion and counting, but slowly.       Aug 24 04:48 PM
    • Nokia Gets No Respect Against Apple, RIM [view article]
      The iPhone isnt a phone - its a small computer running OSX.
      Just HOW is anyone going to match it?
      Its also an iPod - in 6 years, no-one has even matched the iPod - its still at 70%.

      Once again - just HOW does anyone beat Apple when they have ALL the pieces, and no-one else can use them?       Aug 22 08:17 AM
    • Is AT&T to Blame for 3G's Performance in the iPhone? [view article]
      Reasonable article, good points raised.
      I agree with the writers conclusion that AT&T dont 'get' the iPhone data usage, which is a new thing.
      Evidence supporting this is the fact that the iPhone is top of the list in ALL mobile browsers, by a long way.
