Apple Finally Signs Deal With China Mobile for December iPhone Launch

[Marc-SP]

downplayer! The same could have been said about T-Mobile, now look at how well they are doing. Your reasoning is so flawed. Those guys at apple are a lot smarter than you think, not sure why so many think they are smarter than Apple��

Yeah, how dare they!! It's Apple we are talking about!

Ok, seriously. At least tell me the "obvious" flaw in my reasoning.

And I will say it again in hope someone will read it and understand it:Apple will sell some additional million iPhones, thanks to the CM marketing and the new 3/4G support.
This deal with CM IS quite good bussines for Apple. Just not what it seems just looking at the numbers.

That's all I said. Is this forum full of angry Apple stock holders or what. I thought having Apple stock made people happy and hippy

Forget the details.

Irrational belief and fear have kept Apples share price down, not facts.

This deal makes people hopeful greedy and wildly optimistic which will bring AAPL up over the next months.

The stock market is only rational if you hold your stocks for five years.

Anything less and you brave the stormy seas of hype superstition manipulation etc.

APPL has been unreasonably down. Now it will be unreasonably up.

Is Apple killing in terms of sales marketshare use ability ecosystem and innovation? Yeah. But what else is new?

 

[The Barron]

A stretch, but....

I predict APPL stock will reach around $1000 before 2014.

I'd love to see the share price hit $1,000 by Jan.1, 2014, but feel that's a really huge stretch.

Right now it's staying steady at $569.75 & hit $575.14 earlier in the day. It's still a deal here, but will start getting more spendy if good news continues. If Uncle Carl Icahn gets his proposal to the shareholders for a more realistic stock buyback, then this company will really take off due to the new EPS, etc.

If tomorrow's jobs numbers for November reveal good, steady growth, then AAPL will continue its march to $600. That being the case, we may see $650 by Dec. 31. Very cool! Long

----------

Since we're making predictions...

Thursday market close: AAPL +$12 $577
Friday market close: AAPL -$12 $565
2013 close: $535 (due to slight broader market decline)
Thoughts?

Here's mine & I really hope I'm under guesstimating here:

Tomorrow's (Friday, 12-6-13) Close: $578.14
Dec. 31, 2103: $604.20

Long

Game on people! Post your replies.
Let's see who's closest to the mark after tomorrow's close & on Dec. 31.

Good news for Apple, but keep in mind that almost any China Mobile subscriber that wanted an iPhone already got one.

Yes because Chinese would never switch to an iPhone because they already have a phone

Yes because Chinese would never switch to an iPhone because they already have a phone

If, as I said, they already have an iPhone, what kind of switch would be that?

 

[Tech198]

I wish i could read Chinese They look all squiggly.

China Mobile came out to say a deal has not been reached. Google it.

Seems like wsj jumped the gun.
