What I mean is, eventually people will collectively sink in all the money they're going to. Pretty much everyone who wants to/can own it, will already own it.. and there'll be nowhere for the stock to go.
I'm not sure I follow this concept.

FtfyAll their recent success:
iOS 8 - quickest and most popular adoption
Yosemite - quickest and one of the more stable recent releases
Can't keep the things in stock
Mac mini kept as a gateway product
iCloud photo library - got me there
Don't need regular refreshes just to make sales. Their products have a longer shelf life than most other pcs.
The stock market is crazy.
There's an easy way to know when the top is near. If Taxis drivers, or hotel cleaning lady starts telling you to buy stock or start telling you they dabble in stocks, then sell everything... Worked well in the 2000 and 2008 debacle for me .
When Apple's stock price is low, and when their profits are less than the year before, people say its a sign of failure.
When Apple are doing well financially, people say 'money isn't everything, it's good products that matter.' Apple can't win.
Not bad for a company 'doomed to failure' after Steve Jobs died.

Seriously though. If the new mini came with standard quad core or even higher and maybe even more power with 1TB ssd and at least a half assed graphics, many of us would have not even bought a nMP. They know how to milk cash.
All their recent fails:
iOS 8 problems
Yosemite problems
Not enough iPhones
Mac mini RAM nit being upgradeable
iCloud photo library
No Apple TV update
No new MacBook Air
No refresh on regular iMacs

I hear you. Been waiting over 2.5 weeks now for a pre-ordered Verizon iPhone 6 with 64 GB in Space Gray... 2.5 weeks??
Borrowed with or without knowledge from the famous Joe Kennedy line about how he decided to get out of the stock market before the 1929 crash when his shoeshine boy gave him a stock tip. After he made that (possibly apocryphal) claim, the "shoeshine boy effect" become a sort of shorthand for contrarian investing. The problem of course is that it's impossible to know when markets are peaking or bottoming out until after it happens.
One guy I know lost a bundle selling Apple stock short right after the split.
I remember back in the day, when I gentleman drove his car up to our cross-country meet and offered free shoes to the runners, I wish I kept my pair! Mr. Knight was desperate to get his and Mr. Bowerman's product to runners. Who knew?
Sell short!
If you dare.
It's cute that you think you gave me an "education".... when you really have done nothing of the sort. But keep thinking it. LOL
It won't last, it never does. I think the market has factored in huge sales for the Apple Watch which isn't all that logical given that all the other smart watches out there haven't exactly set the world on fire. Not saying it won't sell well, but there's no guarantee it will.
You know there are always people who sold short. They will always tell you on a day when AAPL dropped down a bit that they sold short just four days earlier at the top.
I've never actually seen any who claimed that he had sold short _right now_. Only ever people who sold short in the past.
It's also pretty classist, condescending and snide. The idea that someone's occupation necessarily has a bearing on their intelligence or aptitude for anything is, to put it bluntly, stupid.
Unless they're in congress or professional sports, of course.
^Mostly joking.
Maybe, but at the heart of this anecdote (whether it is literally true or not) is a serious point: markets are a form of herd behavior, and success can come from knowing when to do just the opposite of what the herd is doing.
For those who claim this is simply a matter of being smarter than the herd, I would express great skepticism. In market terms this would mean selling out in a rising stock market and buying into a plunging one (when our brains are shouting at us to do just the opposite), and to time it well enough to not have been better off sitting tight. Outsmarting the markets is hard enough, but just try outsmarting your own brain, and see how well you do.
This is a travesty. If they could find even cheaper slave labor then they could have been worth $800 billion trillion million. The shareholders must be fuming.
Please correct this. I suggest finding the ultimate in cheap labor. How about afghanistani toddlers? Don't even have to pay them.
I don't disagree with anything you've said. Quite the opposite, actually
It's even harder as a man to invest. Our brains are telling us we should make impulsive decisions, which tend not to work out all that well as an investment strategy. Hence women tend to fare better.
Honestly, whenever I'm impulsive, I lose money (almost always). When I fight the urge to buy/sell quickly, I tend to make money.
Yes and no. It is a milked product for sure. However, I bet the Mac Mini refresh is a "Plan B" that they went with since suppliers could not match the need for a quad cord Mac Mini.
Either way, the more disturbing part for me is they are distancing themselves from their server software product. Yet once again courting 'enterprise users'.
Kinda makes me wonder...
As often as not that damned amygdala sends us the wrong signals, to jump when we should stand and stand when we should jump. Our brains are dirty tricksters.
