I believed they would achieve it and they did, but guess what I got for my reward? NADA!
Now, this stock is just a waiting game. In a few quarters the deferred revenue will be driving up earnings substantially.
Off the top of my head I'll say $6 a share this year, with $2 due for Xmas quarter. 20 million iPhones, Macs up 10%, and this will be the year of the iPod Touch. Don't give me crap, I told ya it was off the top of my head! Just like the analysts haha!]]> Fri, 23 Jan 2009 04:13:07 -0500 While it is understandable that the early trends showed the 10 million iPhone goal out of reach, it was widely known that MANY MANY people were holding out for the 3G version.

Please, worst case scenario is that he gets the best cancer treatment a man can get, best is the usual crooked market manipulation. Either way Apple has had a plan for life after Steve for quite some time now. It would be tragic for the stock if something happens to him for awhile, but the current management has already had a lot more to do with Apple's success than anybody gives them credit for.

When they have billions of dollars in their funds, they can afford to wait until 2010. At that time there will be so much pressure on the stock it just blows up and then "cha ching". They can't keep it down forever.

And for those of you who say it is only a first generation phone, go back OVER A YEAR AGO and look at Apple's first gen phone! The only bad thing it had was the Edge network, which is pretty much on par with TMobile's limited 3G(I say that because others have said it, I personally don't know).
