(it's not just apple, the entire market is overvalued)
Not really. You do understand that 'irrational exuberance' has its basis in speculation and not on real profitability/revenue/earnings numbers, right? In other words, Apple's earnings report yesterday and the subsequent rise in its stock price today are pretty much the exact opposite of irrational exuberance. Which proves the fact that you're more interested in talking out of your *** by using cool buzzwords that you read somewhere.

okie doke. Only those as super smart as you will survive the market
 
I respectfully beg to disagree. With a P/E ratio under 20, they are totally in rational investment territory. And they are a money-making machine, reliable and professional and forward thinking, without any games to prop up their stock price. If we were talking about Amazon, I would agree with you totally. Where else would you put your money and feel like you can sleep at night?

In almost any S&P indexed fund. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/03/why-warren-buffett-says-index-funds-are-the-best-investment.html
 
What claim? I commented on an article. If you don't know what my comment means, that's a YOU problem.

'irrational exuberance'

It's clear you haven't a clue. Hence, all the back peddling. Back up your statement or ****.

I'd rather have a $700 Apple than 7 $100 Apples! Jokes on you brah!

So when your ONE apple goes to ****, you're totally f'd?

Exactly. And it's you.
That's why you're the one stamping your feet, demanding an explaination, right?
 
As for being overpriced, look at other tech stocks and tell me how they're commanding P/E ratios of 50+ to 200+. All while paying zero dividend and being even less diversified as Apple.

Those companies are still growing.

Nobody's stamping feet. You're the one who stated 'irrational exuberance' was the reason for AAPL's run-up. If you can't back up your own statement, just admit it. Telling people to do their own research to back up what you say is one of the weakest cop-outs one can commit, and makes you look like you have no idea what you're talking about.
 
And now, accounting for the 7-for-1 split, it’d be around $1400.

Suckers!
Sure you did, to those us who bought on the manufactured dips and pre splits... nice to those who didn’t, here’s a sad face for ya
 
I said that? hmmm...
Not directly, since you're obviously not intellectually capable of doing so. But you certainly implied it:

What was that phrase again... "Irrational Exuberance"
Yeah. That one.

Yeah. That one.

They snuck in with all the 23 year old 'professionals' that need i9 MBPs with 32GB of RAM to surf the web at Starbucks.

It's $11B for the last quarter. They have made $45B in profits for the current fiscal year (9 months).

They're well on their way to smashing their all time annual profit.

#1 - I'm not saying those are good investments, either.
#2 - Those are still growing companies. With the exception of Google, most of the companies have market caps well below where Apple is right now.
 
Are you insulting me now? That's nice. It totally makes you right.
Not at all, I was right all along. Didn't need to insult you, that was just icing on the cake.

Have you noticed yet that all you've done is make strawman arguments after being challenged to justify your original statement about irrational exuberance? You don't need anyone to insult you, you're making yourself look bad all on your own very nicely.

So you admit to insulting me?

Instantly Bannable Offenses

These offenses can result in temporary forum suspensions or permanent bans. If you get a warning, heed it!

Insults. Direct personal insult of another forum member (e.g., "You are an idiot.") and other name-calling. Why? Because this isn't grade school. People should be able to discuss or even dispute other's posts without insulting people. You may dispute somebody's opinion but not attack/flame the person who stated it. There are a lot of other non-direct-personal insults that won't necessary get you banned instantly, but depending on the context/nature may lead to post editing, post deletion, warnings, or time-outs. They include telling people to shut up, describing a member as an ignorant person (rather than ignorant about a particular topic), and being extremely or repeatedly rude or sarcastic. It's not your place to tell other users they are not welcome; if they follow the rules, they are welcome. Bottom line -- don't try to tick off others and don't make discussions unnecessarily personal. If somebody else insults you, report their post; their post does not give you a license to break the rules by returning their insults. Although we do not read Private Messages sent between forum members, the rules for appropriate and inappropriate content apply to them as well.
Have you noticed that I don't care what you think because you can't be arsed to look up a famous phrase?
