Apple Q3 2010 Financial Results Set for July 20th
- Thread starter MacRumors
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
2010 Q3 will be remembered as the peak of Apple and it went downhill after this. Next - IP4 recall.
AAPL is THE growth stock. If you don't own it, you're a fool. Just buy low and hold long. 340.00 by the end of the year is my target price.
MSFT keeps getting punished for outstanding earnings.
Keep in mind we're passing sweeping new financial reform. Investors are pretty hesitant.
Do you even bother to read analyst reports? I have yet to find one that says the IP4 issue is anything worth worrying about. And, frankly, it's not.
Also... If it gets to 200, that's a kick ass buying opportunity so... I'd actually like that.
perception is reality in the media world. Stocks often, if not usually follow what the media says.......
And there are now Band-aids to put on you iPhone 4 (BTW, I love the iPhone...and band-aids)
Bottom line. Buy AAPL today.
Apple tends to underestimate results and with the rollout of a product so successful they cannot make them fast enough, the earnings will be increasing in the future.
As I type this the price is $242.50. Many analysts have a price target over $300. AAPL has consistently overshot analyst estimates.
Do as you will. If you are considering buying, pull the trigger. If you are an owner of stock, consider slowly selling above $300 and buy on short term seasonal weakness. This is not typically one of those times.

You're telling me...
Currently down $8 currently. Does make you wonder if they know something we don't, but then I thought that the last few times with Apple stock and nothing came up, with Apple pulling ahead after the earnings call...
selling $30 bumpers was an awesome plan to increase the average revenue per unit, but that idea is gone now.
apple is about where MS was 10 years ago. the coolness is wearing off and people are complaining and they are looking for crazier ways to increase revenue outside the core products
BP Gulf Spill = estimated trillions of dollars in ecological and economic impact.
Toyota = potential to cost people their lives, massive safety issue and malfeasance if they knew about it and hid it.
Apple = worst case, phone calls dropped.
Ummmmm, I think you've not yet learned the concept of 'magnitude.'
You have that right. Go into the the crowd of any major press conference and you there is a sea of iPhones and islands of Blackberries.
Apple is a media darling. This antenna issue will do nothing but help the stock price. It is image that drives prices these days. Apple did a good job putting critics in their place.
Cha-ching!
Wow did you pull that of thin air? The estimates I have so far are about $100 billion in damage.
I'm not saying that his number has any substance to it, but those estimates of $100 billion don't really look into the ecological long term problems.
It's value-for-money that I absolutely need. If Apple want to let products stagnate, that is their decision, but the prices need to reflect that they are outdated. It is not Apple's policy to decrease prices in this manner.
Along this line, does anyone know if it is ever the case that product announcements take the form of a mention in future-looking statements in an earnings call? i.e. new mac pros tomorrow finger-crossing...
This is from my memory, so take it as that is, but I don't recall them ever doing new product announcements during the earnings call. They want to do that when they have control over the press at a rah rah event.
What can go up can also go down
Put your money where your mouth is! Can you provide us with any evidence that you have any AAPL? You know, it would make things more genuine and entertaining. Otherwise there is no need to call others fools.
Economics is about people getting it wrong all the time. You might ask the best 'experts' and they can only guess. I roughly know what a Morgan Stanley prediction included and correct me if I'm wrong, but even them, even in the best possible scenario did not predict $340. I remember that their 'worst-case scenario' was overly optimistic.
Ignoring the most optimistic prediction from a leading investment bank and go over their optimistic figure would be extremely dangerous, I would think. But you have a "target price", you claim to keep some already, so let's see - would you fold, please?

Huh...
I can't do that with my iPhone4. One fingertip? Really?
I'd like to see that.
Just because Steve told you that it doesn't make it true - it's not the SAME problem, it's attenuation from your hand blocking radio waves that all phones suffer - the iP4 suffers from that AS WELL as it's own flaws of skin contact with the antenna, can you stop any of those phones working with one fingertip? (besides pressing the "off button"

Hmmm.....
As a Toyota Prius owner we haven't had one issue in 70k miles. No issues at all.
The car is literally the most trouble free automobile I've ever owned and I've owned (Ford, Chevrolet, Saturn) several makes.
I'd buy a Toyota again.
Back to Apple stuff.

Actually I just tested it again as I was arguing with someone on another forum about phone attenuation and his argument was that they all do it, I agree but this is more than that - I'll try and video it in a mirror...
Scratch that - the "multitasking" doesn't let you video while speedtesting - durrr. I'll see if I can find a camera with video...
