Is Apple Poised to Move into the Living Room?

This has been coming for a long time from Apple and is integral/core to their overall strategy. Becoming the Leader that puts it all together for the Living Room is inevitable and saying it's a hobby is a "ruse" for meaning we know it's going to take awhile to fully implement our strategy in conquering the living room and entertainment delivery business. Don't you see all the pieces of the puzzle falling in place ? The master plan will result in an April Fool's joke in that guess what, this is not really a hobby- we just needed some time to put ourselves in the position of Conqueror. Once all the soldiers are in place, you will see the magnificent convergence and patented living room.

If Apple Does Correct, It Will Do So Soon

As I've said many times here and elsewhere, the true value of Apple will increasingly be evident as it makes other Techs look weak in this economic environment. Apple is crystalizing as the premium stock to own which in itself adds to Apple's ecosystem/halo effect. Once the multitudes get on board, expect AAPL to pump high as the frenzy ensues to own such a undervalued gem. These are new times and Apple is digging in to keep its momemtum going and to protect it's entire ecosystem from poachers. The OS and chip designs plus patents are going to keep them far ahead of the pack. $200.00/share is nothing compared to what Apple will be worth long term and with an economic stabilization. Apple is built to withstand these tough times and emerge with many surprises. You will see. I don't need chart analysis to see it.

Apple and Google: Changing My Mind

You are right about Apple's great value. Pound for pound I like Apple over Google. You are totally incorrect about SJ and Apple PR deceit over SJ's health issues. The fact is that even SJ himself didn't know exactly what his health issues were. Sometimes it takes time to figure out and understand what's going on medically and so all is in flux. Hormonal imbalances can be tricky even once recognized as a health issue. So how can you expect the Apple Board & PR to know when SJ doesn't really know himself as he pursues his own personal due diligence with his Doctors ? The fact that SJ was able to do so much at Apple with all the rigor and demands speaks to that as well. It was not some obvious incapable sickly person here that the Apple Board carried on its back to strike the deals and deliver product strategy. Hey, if you feel uncomfortable or squeamish about buying Apple, maybe you should just buy a really safe utility stock or something. But don't try to coach us with any authority.

Feet to the Fire: How Analysts Missed on Apple iPhone Shipments

Glad you published. Let's all get out there and publish the details about how these bad analysts get it wrong. Make them accountable and spread the word. Then either they will have no clients or they will be forced to get honest or get out of the way. Reward the good analysts with consistent records of performance and honesty.

Apple Will Be Fine!

Oh southbeach, it is so easy to spout off when the economy is sour for all companies and The Steve Jobs Health issue has been so overblown in this manipulative stock environment. You are definitely wrong as time will prove out. The only hardcore reason really that the stock is so undervalued is the fearful economy and because so many don't understand what's transpiring technologically and that Apple has much much more up its sleeve with or without SJ. It's no great prediction to say that Apple will drop like others in this environment. Once things settle down and investors can see more clearly which Companies deserve preference and are clearly undervalued, you will see a huge Apple runup. It may be awhile, but then again Apple is not sitting on its past laurels either. This story is far from over. In any case, we have to have the naysayers like yourself to give the rest of us opportunities to buy at great prices. FYI, I'm long at $9.00/share so I know how to buy an opportunity.

Apple Valuations: Still at Risk

Spelled with a C or K, it doesn't matter; We all know who he is and he's still a manipulating lunatic that only the inexperienced would listen to. RIMM is just another prime example of his failures. He continued to stick by RIMM and go against APPLE just to benefit himself and not admit he was wrong. His lack of technological awareness is pathetic. He is wrong, dead wrong most of the time. He's also a friend of that blowhard egomaniac Donald Trump.

Apple Valuations: Still at Risk

Regardless, Apple will continue to grab a larger piece of the pie in whatever macroeconomic condition we are in. The losers will be the likes of RIMM and old stodgy players. Yes, AAPL could drop some more but is unwarranted and a buy opportunity. If you listened to Kramer and bought alot of RIMM, you now know what an idiot he is. He knows Nothing about Technology and flips on a dime.

Apple as a Target

Gee, another new standard that's late to the party. Can't be just about MP3 market as that is too far along in maturity. Apple is moving at mega speeds and the DECE will be long in the tooth trying to gain any traction. More Zunes ? Gee golly, I can't wait. I wonder if they'll be as lame as the new MSFT commercials. It's like Apple is getting free advertising benefits from MSFT who is proving how nerdy Gates is at any age and that image is bolstering MSFT negatively. Does anyone really feel like buying MSFT products after watching those vague commercials. Any teenagers going "ooh, ahh" ?

Revisiting the iPhone's Browsing Market Share

As an investor, I really don't give a rat's petutti. Look at the Apple big picture. All the rest of the numbers will catchup regardless to the Apple rocketship. Apple knows that the growing popularity of it's ecosystem will naturally pull along the mobile viewing leverage.

Apple Investors: Fasten Your Seatbelts, Put On Helmets

Tech will move forward and prevail especially the leaders like Apple. Sorry, I'm going with reckless abandon as opposed to your doomsday alternative. The human race is going to push forward and that means tech moves forward unless you're betting on our sooner than later demise. Apple Bulls--Charge full speed ahead and run over these shorts. We'll just buy any opportunity dips.

Steve Jobs: Not Dead Yet

Once again, let the chips fall where they may. To deny that there is gross manipulation of Apple stock by all the spin is ignorant.

Steve Jobs: Not Dead Yet

I'm with you mrtaxx. We'll just report the garbage here when we see it which is market manipulation and let the SEC and Government agencies track down and decipher which shorts, manipulators, fraudsters should be investigated and prosecuted. It's so easy to report these guys and then the cards will fall where they may. If it's real reporting, you have nothing to worry about.

Apple's Problems - Bad to the Core?

This BOZO is so obvious and has thrown in every single thread of either minor one incident to resolved issues he could plaster at us. He is so obviously getting paid or trying to be so outrageous that his goober article would get a ton of reactions. The laugh is on you Mr. Bozo because most of us will only be buying AAPL and reaping the rewards. Put your money where your mouth is. Go buy MSFT or RIMM or DELL--do it ,I dare you ! Oh, I forgot, the money you'll make off this little gem will get you only 1 share probably. If you want to be cunning, you can't be so obvious. Don't play poker. Get a job. The quality of writers here is so low.

Apple: An Antidote to iPhone Complacency

Well, I was going to write a thesis myself about this obvious and worthless article but most have hit the highlights already so I don't have to do it. I too have a long technological history having developed and brought to market over 150 products and am also well degreed. I remember the old Apple days and troubles for Apple Dealers and ISVs but what are you-- a Dinosaur ? Your article has no place in today's world and certainly doesn't have any insight into Apple strategy because you apparently don't see the writing on the wall before you. Of course if we stand still and do nothing, competition will rise to the occasion. If your brain is stuck back in the ISV days due to resentment or otherwise, you will miss the reality and the boat. I don't see Apple standing still in any way shape or form. Apple knows they have the momemtum and you can see the competiton all scrambling to catchup. I don't foresee Apple dropping the baton do you ? Get some rest, take your mind out of the old crusty books, and think freely. The old days are over Sir and Apple knows they have the synergistic building blocks to stay ahead of the pack and grow market share. Where are you going to invest your dollars ?

Microsoft: Still Master of the Operating System Domain

It's going to take more than an ad campaign with a Jerry Seinfeld plant to hold onto market share. Would be simply a temporary counter move that may help for awhile. Expect Apple to turn up the heat because Apple has the solid products that turn people on. Advertising can only do so much even with a high-priced star. Will be interesting to see what Apple launches next in their ads. Maybe Cramer or George. How about Ray Ramono.
