2013 Outlook: Stock Bulls May Have Room To Run, Bond Vigilantes Lurk [View article]
James: That last part you wrote is key I think. There may be some run-up left, but most people see a decent correction coming eventually. I'm holding out for the correction...

I feel like China is at the end of an incredibly long bullish cycle, and will show signs of toppling this year as all of those warning signs from China can no longer be swept under the rug (property bubbles, over extended credit - all the usual signs that not even China is immune from).
They might be the catalyst for the primary trend reversal coming this year.
Another catalyst that may burst this bubble is when the 10-year projected budget cuts finally materialize from congress and get discounted into current prices. This one may be more likely than China. But either one could trigger the other and snowball.

Exactly. There is almost zero loyalty to the Android platform, unlike iOS. I can see tons of Android geeks switching over to Windows Phone, especially because it plays well with their PCs.

I tend to agree with Richbar - I can't see AAPL ever setting new highs again, and because of that, it is now a broken stock, as many have come to realize.

You're the blind one. There's no way this market has reached an extreme that would signal a turning point. You can stay fearful all you want, but the fearful ones don't make much money over the long run.

You say there's a bubble... but where's your proof? You didn't really offer anything in this article other than FUD.
It's really hard to imagine the economy and stock market tanking in the middle of so much monetary stimulus and after so much deleveraging from consumers (add to that pent up demand).
We may see a small pullback in stock prices, but there's no way in hell it's crashing like it did the last two times.
Several Theories To Explain Apple's Nosedive [View article]
That's the thing I don't understand about iPhones and iPads being labeled as more expensive... They're not really any more expensive, but are way better for the same price tag (in terms of software at least).
And the Surface Pro tablet is pretty much double the price of an iPad...

Exactly, that's the problem with Android. People get a crappy android phone and assume all android phones are crap. Then they see somebody with even an older iPhone having no problems. This is my theory as to why Apple stole more than half the sales at every carrier in the U.S. in Q4, which in itself is ridiculous and a good sign that they do indeed have the better product, and it's not even that much more expensive.
I've actually owned high-end Android phones up until just recently and they've all been glitchy and slow.

Exactly, growth investors would prefer Nokia didn't have a dividend since they're going for full-on growth now.
