OK, went back to the video tape, and correct original post was to another poster, but it was the same one you responded to me to. The other poster had stated...
Again, he was referring to delivering product, which Apple did an impeccable job of doing, I don't disagree.
Maybe time to sell some.
Nah. Still lots of upside and now a juicy dividend too. In just a couple quarters the dividend will have paid for my entire initial investment from back in 2002.
Estimated? Come back when you have real numbers from Amazon. Last I checked they've never told us how many Fires they've sold. All we have to go on is estimates.

Oh please! Get real! It's just one store!
There are thousands of stores like this one around the world and they all have the same scenario these days.
You should've seen that line! It was a constant long, not even one line, of people returning iPads! It looked ridiculous, as if customers were supplying the store with the iPads. The check-out counter table was full of boxes with iPads.

Quite a discipline if you kept it from 2002. I started trading Apple only since 2006.
Leave it to Apple to fix my main complaint about their products.... The chaos of the product launch.
Hardest part of the entire process for me this time around was waiting for FedEx to ring the doorbell

The proper perspective is that last quarter Android tablets reached 45% market and are expected to overtake iTab in a year or two. Remember that there 355 days in a year. All (well most) Apple fans buy the new product on the same day. Android fans do not have such mentality.
I really do not think you are being realistic, just try putting things into perspective.
Perhaps you should go to the next stock holder meeting and have a moan there.
GO THERE! I was one of the unlucky ones who missed the first batch of preorders and my iPad was to be shiped in 2-3 weeks (April 5th). Yesterday I was in central park enjoying the weather, swinged by Apple store and they had all the wifi ones IN STOCK.
10 minutes later I was walking out of the store with my new iPad, and I canceled the online order.
Not the analysts at Piper Jaffray and UBS. UBS said they may need to raise their estimate of shipments for this quarter above their previous 12 million forecast.
It was up after hours to around $605 at one point ($603 as I write this).
How much do you expect the stock to go up with every press release? It's already gone up over 40% this year, and we're not even through one quarter. The next big move one way or the other is likely the run-up to the earnings release, and then the reaction to it.
This doesn't explain why the iPad2 improved sales wise in every quarter it was available, does it? Unless of course the Apple fans all got together and picked 4 days out of the year to go buy iPad2s hehe

I think he wants 20M sold in 3 days, and 150% stock price increase this quarter hehe.
One day the empire will crumble! I tell you, it will CRUMBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I AM FARTIN!
I AM FARTIN!
That's why after selling 4 million iPhones the weekend of the 4S launch, they went on to sell another 33 million by the end of the quarter.
Keep in mind the 3 million Kindle number included all models which can be as cheap as $79, and not just the Kindle Fire.
And also don't forget that was the quarter that Amazon profits were down 58 percent, reportedly mainly because of Kindles. Selling 3 million of something becomes a lot less impressive when you can't make money doing it.
