    • Apple's Balancing Act: 3G iPhone vs. Jobs' Health - Barron's [view article]
      ...and you are using eric as a reference? just because HE doesn't believe it, just because HE thinks the sell off stock indicates that Apple is not fully disclosing... are you kidding? maybe a real job in journalism might do you some good, or a writing class or even a class in investigating facts, or having your own opinion.

      As for you weak reply to another commment that you guys don't short stock, ahhh ha ha ha please, you must really think the readers and shareholders of Apple are stupid.       Jun 16 12:11 PM
    • $1.2 Billion in iPhone Apps? Not Likely. [view article]
      how much is a gameboy or other hand held game? $80-$120 plus the price of a game, what do you think a parent will do when given the choice? I gameboy that's just a game or an iphone or itouch that has many times the options not only for games but for music, not to mention the educational apps that will be built. As for parents with teenagers what do you think? iphone is not that much more that the typical $80 phone yet it gives them gps to locate their kids at all times as well as advanced educational apps, music, phone, etc. I think Mr. Munster (the first guy to say Apple over $200 long ago) is on the right track as far as the apps store and the number of phones for 2009.

    • Taking Some Profits in Apple [view article]
      Last Dec I had 2000 shares, then, well we all know what happened, and I bought another 1000 shares. With the new iphone coming, with all the outside apps coming for the iphone, with the ever expanding global iphone deals, with the ever expanding retail stores, with the percentage growth of mac, air mac, servers...that no one talks about, automotive deals with MB and Volkswagon, the possibility of becoming its own cell service provider, and lets not forget the itunes expansion, the HBO deal, the movie studio deals, what else? hmmm oh yes, there is rumor of a video console on the way that will hit the gaming market the same way the iphone hit the smart phone market.

      I wonder about all the people that buy and sell Apple every other day, take a few $'s profit and give half to uncle sam, what's the point?

      A prior comment touched on a potential sticking point when the stock gets close or at its Dec peak of $202, I think Apple has learned a few things about that and once it goes over $200 Apple will announce a split.

      Can you imagine Apple suddenly at $100, that stock will jump $50-$75 in a heart beat. Long Long Long.... my 2 cents       May 15 06:37 PM
    • Is the Commodities Bubble Popping?- Fast Money Recap (4/29/08) [view article]
      $150-$200 before $90? what are you smoking? You need to understand the trucking industry before you make dumb statments like that. I had a thriving business selling custom parts to the trucking industry, when diesel started climbing extra $ to spend went away immediately, with a gallon of diesel is $4.30, less and less drivers are willing to bust their ass to make less and less money so they just park their truck and look for other work. While speculating on oil should not be allowed as it completely screws our economy, 90% of everything is moved by truckers, those same truckers are organinzing a freeze out, which means NO trucks will be onthe highways for 7 days, no cargo, no frieght, no food, no fuel, NOTHING.... what effect do you think that will have on the economy? I'm guessing the government will have no choice but to get involved and install regulations that demand speculators put up 50-70% of the money to cover the games they are playing with stocks, once that happens the amount of risk goews up and the amount of games being played goes down.

    • Buying Google at a Reasonable Price [view article]
      Anyone who thinks that Google is going up $100 once the g phone comes out is nuts. That phone will probably never see the light of day, look how many times it has been pushed back already. As for Google being a deal at anything under $550, nuts, your nuts, Google doesn't produce anything, its value is just smoke and mirrors, I feel sorry for anyone who bought it over $300. If Google was smart they would have split the stock when it hit $500 the first time, if they had it would be at $500 again now, (althought I have no idea why). I only buy stock of companies that make hard parts, something tangible. I bought Apple a month before the iphone came out, $94.07 3000 shares and decided with all the new products in the pipeline and in R&D that it was a good LONG stock. Watching it go to $200 then down to $112 was interesting, yet long is long and I have no concerns as people will always need computers, phones, and entertainment not to mention electronic distractions.

      As for the question posted about buying google or yahoo? I would buy either one, neither company makes anything. Watch our future, the US is going to have a big change in the econmoy and how it is dealt with. The skrinking value of the dollar will bring manufacturing back to US soil and as in the 50's manufacturing will be a solid growth sector and companies that are "whim" companies will drop in value by at least 50%, as they should, google, yahoo, etc.

      Buy something solid and forget about while you focus on earning more dollars in the real world.       Apr 10 06:43 PM
