I could care less if they fail or do well. I only care about the PRODUCT. That's why you are crazy and I am not.
Tony
You're not helping, you know.
If you bought more than 5 shares - i might hate you!!
I just receive my mutual fund report - down 20 *********g %! And you're sitting on stock that's gone up 8 zillion percent!
Please...you're killing me...
my mutual funds are down to. yes way more that 5 shares. I bought 1000 shares in 2003, don't forget the 2 for 1 split in 2005. I feel very blessed.

bet ya $5000 dude
When I'm feeling a little too over-confident I like to play, "WHAT IF I HAD BOUGHT STOCK AT $20?!"
If I had invested $10k at $20 ( 500 shares) I'd be sitting on approx. $211k right now!
Where's my gin and old country music records gone to?

It's all funny money until you cash out. Sell now - Apple will be irrelevant in 10 years. With Stevbe Jobs gone and Apple significantly lagging behind technology at an increasingly slower pace, the current cult of 15-20 years old will grow up and move elsewhee.

That's great. But why do you care how Apple's STOCK is doing. That's my point.
Tony
If you don't care about apple then why are you oh so desperately trying to start a flame war?
Your numbers are wrong. Apple actually has around 920+ million shares right now even without the split. Number of shares times share price equals total market cap which today is $391 Billion.
If there actually was only 100 million shares, the stock price would be over $4,000 so you were only off by a factor of 10
yup it was very "funny" when I looked at my account after the close today. It will go to $500 and thats when I will start selling in small increments.
Because I hate that my iPhone 4S is so already outdated after Day 1 and I'm friggin' tied to the Apple eco-system and all of you cultists feed on things like stock prices being up which fuels Apple into following their path of not giving us the most current technology because they know we'll buy these friggin' outdated phones anyway.
So tell me why YOU CARE about the stock price.
Tony
you must be a fandroid. remember what android is, 6 different versions of a donkey'ed up OS running on cheap plastic phones.

Wow $500. How much have you invested in actually BUYING iPhone? They certainly got you good.

I can care less about any Company or O/S. I only care about PRODUCT.

Tony,
In 6 months, AAPL will be higher than it is today. I'll bet you Any amount up to $10,000. (I'm not joking.)
Let's arrange a bet and one of us will get a 100% return on investment.

Yup, in 3-6 months iPhone will fall behind the competition.
Reminds me of Ballmer's famous line. I liked it so much I put it in my sig. LOL
"Theres no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance." (Steve Ballmer - 2007)
Apple wins global smartphone crown (July 2011)
Wow... Apple has been very inspiring in the past decade. Usually news about companies is that they're going under, failing or something bad is happening. Its very refreshing to see that through the recession and everything something is doing well
I said the stock will go to $500. I have 2000 shares dude, do the math.
I am using a 3GS, and so does my wife and daughter. I am buying my daughter a 4S for Christmas. The phone does what i need it to do, thats what counts. I may get a 4S or wait till next year for the 5. totally happy for now. One day you will realize it's not the specs, It's does it work. Apple stuff works and you know it.
You knew what the phone was going to be - why did you buy it??
And if you hate it so much - return it.
Get something that is not so outdated and s****y. Make yourself happy.
(Full Disclosure: I have an iPhone4, not the iPhone5. Contract up in 2012)

AAPL has been my second best performer percentage-wise. I got in at $80 and sold at $163. Then I got back in again at $81 and am still holing it today.
I love this stock!

If you had the iPhone 5, I would buy it.

Oh no, I'm just going to take some off the table and do some things, also for tax purposes.
I think this says it all...
That was the line outside UPS ten minutes before closing. Not an Apple store, not AT&T, Verizon, Bestbuy, Walmart, but the UPS hub office at 7:20pm. Everyone was there for the 4s. They had them stacked on a table behind the counter in anticipation.
Apple accomplished some crazy things today. I'd say they earned it, literally.

LOL to all whiners that say iPhone 4s going to flat down Apple's stocks.
It might be "just" a faster CPU, better camera and SIRI assistant to you. But still, it's an iOS. You just can't beat that.
Sometimes I just feel pity for Samsung, HTC, Nokia and other manufacturers (no sarcasm here). They just try so hard, launch their best smartphone ever. But even their best phones, with their best effort and all ... hardly send their stock to highest price of all time.
And yet the anti-Apple people just won't admit it. Grow up boys
