In addition, the continued increase in market share is a positive and will continue to be as these new switchers will be recurring buyers of Apple products in the future. I'm sure their in-direct advertising of Apple will help to produce more switchers within their own family/circle of friends.

Also, the the fact that SJ got all of the major studios to sign up for iTunes movie rentals is a huge deal. This fact hasn't been mentioned much. Studios would not have agreed to this unless they understood the current DVD-sales situation and thought it would prove financially profitable.

Lastly, Mr. Krasowski wrote that Macworld ". . .was deemed a
failure. . ." I read the various reports of this, and on the surface I can see how MW08 did not compare emotionally to MW07 and the introduction of the iphone. In my opinion, however, one must remember that these responses are based on the fact that everyone knew what would be announced (aside from the MBA). Investors and media cannot expect every MW to be better than the last. I'll take the 4 million iphones to date, increased computer market share, 80 percent satisfaction rating for Leopard, and ipod domination.

In my opinion, the stock will rise as investors see the situation for what it really is.]]> Fri, 18 Jan 2008 14:12:54 -0500

Back when AAPL was at $7.00/share I almost borrowed some money to buy 1000 shares..... Fortunately, I was able to get in in the low 40s when rumors of the video ipod where on the internet. I've held on since then.

I like what John C. said about revenue new revenue streams through iTunes....and what about the "iphone halo" effect? I have to believe the there are people right now in Apple stores looking at purchasing their first Mac -- all because of the user experience with the iphone.

With the future looking so bright, the hard part will be knowing when to sell..........]]> Sun, 01 Jul 2007 21:11:41 -0400

Looking at the history of the ipod, it is easy to see how wrong people can be. Apple had something to the effect of "This device will be revolutionary" on their website for weeks. They even had a countdown timer. After SJ introduced the 1st gen ipod, I can remember reading many posts on forums like this that said it was just another mp3 player. Jobs could "see the future" whereas most of the general public could not. Even analysts were not impressed. How wrong they were. Will history repeat itself with the iPhone? I hope so.]]> Thu, 14 Jun 2007 21:37:51 -0400

Any way, I was wondering if you/someone might point me to some good sites on how these trailing stops work (and how to utilize them well).

One other question. What happens if you set one of these stops and the stock splits?]]> Fri, 08 Jun 2007 22:22:14 -0400

Any way, the thing that intrigues me about the iPhone is what I heard mentioned during the conference call when financials were released.....which is that there will be continued upgrades and software offerings free of charge to iPhone purchasers. This, alone, will be a bigger deal than most think.]]> Fri, 04 May 2007 22:42:09 -0400

Unfortunately, I live in an area that does not have a Cingular signal so the iPhone is not an option for me. I would assume that Apple would like to "take over the world", so I'm wondering if there are plans to expand their coverage areas.

If this iPhone thing does this well............... I'm just glad I own some Apple shares. :-)]]> Fri, 04 May 2007 10:18:19 -0400
