your bash would work better if you were a bit more subtle. yea. they sure are fading with record holiday sales and packed stores. lol
:)
thanks xoom. I could not put my finger on where i remember this guy from.
Now if we could only bring back some of our true buddy o'l "pals" who happen to work in the nursing industry and love the winter time. then the circle will be complete. I would not get my hopes up or get an emptyhead about it. god knows they have most likely moved on to other places and jobs.
Ok now back to lurking and waiting on material events to occur.
go WMIH! ... looking forward to eventually getting paid for my H's from the LTI.......:)
every post you make on this board is verbal diarrhea. It stinks and no one wants to be around it.
someone had a fat finger. highest trade of the day at $606.50
your opinions are very biased. sorry but to the ignore user list you go. poof.
you can try and spin your bs all you want. just walk into an apple store any day of the week and see how full they all are.
your not fooling anyone. stay short if you wish, but dont post bs to justify your position.
i added some more today as well. was at my local apple store yesterday to buy a cable i needed. You could barely fit in the store there were so many people.
ohh and did you read the article yesterday about how iphone 5 wait times dropped 1week from 3-4weeks to just up to 3weeks. looks like production is ramping up for the holiday season.
I got my dividend which was nice to see. hopefully they raise it and use some of that cash on hand. Trading is fun, but investing over the long term will win. most analysts still reaffirming 840-1000 price target.
I have a comfy chair and plenty of time to wait.
if they sale/discount continues i will just keep buying. :) nice earnings and dividend with low earnings multiple makes me happy.
how long has it been since the bk exit?
I recall seeing a document stating that the new bod must hold a shareholders meeting within 18months post exit.
thanks.
this board is full of longs and shorts yelling at each other and nothing else.
bye bye. enjoy each others company. whoever yells the loudest with bold print on the internet wins. didnt you know. lol
I hope you all make money, but I am no longer wasting time with this board. I would rather discuss fundamental material events and 8k filings.
peace.
I love how so called "chartists" claim that they know that according to the MA and the chart such and such stock will go in said direction. If charting could always tell you the direction of a stock then everyone would be rich and never lose. The fact is there are many factors outside of charts... market makers, hedge funds, money managers, and other macro factors flush charting down the toilet in 2 moments.
just saying.
good thing I am more of an old school long term investor. Trading can be fun.. I get that, but in the big picture apple will do well over the holiday season and all next year.
So if the price goes down further great its on sale... I like to dollar cost average in anyways.
The long term trend and earnings growth will not slow down. They cannot meet the demand on iphone 5 and mini ipads.
they are also taking more market share every year from the traditional windows user. while big pc makers like hp and dell have declining sales and blame it on the ipad and tablets... apple still increases sales in laptops and desktops.
Then the much rumored apple television... well i wont speculate on that one.
Everyone knows this company is priced at such a low earnings multiple it is a steal. does anyone actually think they wont keep making money?? ... ohh and I think they have to start spending all that cash on hand... maybe stock buybacks? increases in the dividend? both?
I cant wait until the money managers have to chase at the year end in order to show profits.
Just my opinion of course.........
that would be sweet. I still think earnings will propel apple over 1000 so being able to average in my cost basis has already been good :)
actually wd tv live is the best streamer box out. most formats. just saying. you should know your tech before you post.
yes.amazon is losing money on each sale. great business model. in the hopes of having the user buy digital content.
on the other hand
apple has most of the digital sales market share and they profit big on the devices and computers they sell.
I really do not see what point you are making. I tried the kindle fire, but I hated it. I personally use an acer iconia tablet and I love that. I also have an ipad as well which I love.
I would also add that the kindles and nooks are budget devices.
lol. I am sure that is going to hurt the 100+billion in cash they got on hand. Also they got over 1billion in verdicts against samsung.
So I think you are reaching there buddy, but thanks for providing a link at least.
I think you may be right. The mini is sold out in the 3 stores I went to in my area and my mother is still waiting on her iphone 5 to come.
I think most long term investors expect q1 2013 to be the biggest quarter in the companies history which will include holiday sales.
Most people expect 2013 to be a big year in general.
I dont really have a big dog in this fight as I am a very small holder of apple stock, but the price is looking more attractive for adding some more over time.
just my opinion.
now back to our regularly scheduled program.... of posters making blanket statements without explaining how they came to such a conclusion and the shorts grinding out a few bucks as a trade and posting that this company will shutter its doors tomorrow and never have good earnings again. lol... now that is funny stuff. (ohh and here is a big hint to them the broad market is tanking because of the comments in europe regarding germany/ and the election.... fyi for those who do not look at the macro picture.)
link?
kind of strange everything else in my portfolio updates except wmih. must be a bug or something related to the storm. no big deal cause the market caster is still working normal.
mine is working fine.
GO WMIH! lol. I just got power back on.. they said it might have been out until monday. guess I was one of the lucky ones. It was fun walking Up 18 flights of stairs today in the dark to check up on my mother in her building here in NJ.
power line poles are snapped like toothpicks and the best thing I ever saw. A mercedes floated into the local chase bank in edgewater, nj.... which I might add used to be a bustling WAMU location before the robbery. It was cool to see that. lol
Anyways I hope everyone is safe on the east coast. My state got hit the hardest, but we will be back in business soon. Just like the new company.
I recall seeing a document in regards to a shareholders meeting. Correct me if I am wrong but I think the BOD is forced to hold one within 18 months post emergence. just saying.
I dont have a pic of the mercedes floating into the chase location by my mothers home, but here is an article with the other chase branch on the other side of her town. lol love it.

Amazon Email to Customers Hints at Anxiety Over iPad Mini
Just hours before Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) posted a quarterly loss Thursday, the online retail giant emailed a handful of customers a survey about its newest source of agita: the iPad mini.
The highly technical questionnaire, similar to ones the company has sent on other topics in the past, asks customers to rate how Amazon's seven-inch Kindle Fire HD stacks up next to the 7.9-inch tablet Apple Inc. (AAPL) unveiled Tuesday. "The new iPad Mini screen has a resolution of 1,024 by 768, corresponding to 163 pixels per inch," the questionnaire says. "If another device offered a detail of 216 pixels per inch, how would you rate it compared to the iPad Mini?" The comparison is a reference to the Kindle Fire HD, which offers just that resolution, according to "The Unofficial Apple Weblog," which published Amazon's questionnaire.
"It looks like Amazon is trying to figure out if customers want an iPad," says Rishi Shah, a marketing consultant and blogger. The questionnaire tries to gauge how the Kindle fares against the new competition, he says, and even offers a $5 Amazon gift card as a reward for returning it. Despite Apple's efforts to promote all the specifications of its new iPad, Shah says it's unlikely most customers will have strong opinions about technical minutia. (Amazon did not respond to requests for comment.)
The timing of the questionnaire is not so unusual, experts say. It may be the perfect moment to gain a picture of how the $199 Kindle Fire HD will match up against the $329 iPad mini in the marketplace, and to figure out exactly what tablet features are most important to customers. There's nothing "clandestine" about such market research, says consumer advocate Edgar Dworksy. "Maybe they want to get a sense of new features that would be of the most interest," he says. Given that Amazon Chief Executive Jeff Bezos spent a fair amount of time on Thursday's quarterly earnings call comparing the Kindle's specifications to those of the iPad mini, it seems the company is thinking a great deal about Apple, says Peter Hildick-Smith, president of market researcher Codex Group. "Amazon is clearly concerned about its growing, direct competition with the world's most highly valued company," he says.
In fact, studies suggest that Amazon may be waging a losing battle, at least in terms of the higher-end tablet market. The iPad Mini has many advantages over other seven-inch $199 tablets, according to a report this week by JP Morgan analyst Mark Moskowtiz. The larger screen size, faster iO6 software and "look-and-feel" give it an edge over cheaper rivals, it says. Since the price gap is also closing between the Kindle and the iPad, "Amazon is gearing up for a features war," says tech expert and blogger Jakob Nielsen.

already making money off the shares I bought close to the lod. :)
got some at 591.61 :) happy.
nice. im buying more today. win win. up or down. long term its going over 1000.
lol I love trolling the trolls. apple represents such a small percentage of my entire portfolio, but I love hashing it out with people who post numbers out of thin air. Maybe I should do it as well lol.
ok prediction: 700 by end of the year 1100 by end of year 2013. 2500 by 2015.
See I can just make up numbers as well. lol
apple is a money making machine.
all i see is green. dont cry baby dont cry. your buy target is doa. you missed the boat.
dont cry it will all be over soon.
shorts are getting crushed again. lol
they were just talking on cnbc how the ipad mini pre-orders sold out in minutes. lol
I think one big thing people were talking about is how apple has broken from its usual product release time period in order to do the new line prior to the holiday season.
I can see this working well as they ramp up production over the holiday season to meet demand.
The cost will also go down on production. A analyst that follows apple was talking on cnbc yesterday about how they are changing part of the production to robotic assembly for some parts over workers in order to cut down on production time.
I still personally think q1 2013 is going to be apples biggest quarter to date.
ipad mini, ipad 4, iphone 5, the new retna display laptops, the new imacs and mac mini all look to be amazing products.
Also if you looked into the numbers apples cloud service usage went up 26.7% last quarter.
Just wait until more of these devices come online and start buying things off itunes. the 329 price point on the mini is going to attract first time users who can afford an apple product without shelling out 500-600 on a full sized ipad.
It just my opinion take it or leave it.
I would also love to speculate on a dividend raise and or split down the road.
apple is up in pre-market trading. just saying.
27+million iphones sold +14m ipads +5m macs
beat earnings estimates by 170million
nice strong iphone numbers despite the new product launch just getting started.
If there is a sell off in the market tomorrow it might provide a nice buying op.
I am holding what I already have. Q1 2013 and the full year is going to be amazing. IMHO.
i think you guys need to relax. look at it as a good thing both ways.
if apple beats earnings and goes up great. If they miss look at it as a buying op.
Q1 2013 is projected to be the biggest in the companies history and the full 2013 year as well. That is when you will see the company knocking at the trillion dollar market cap. In my opinion of course.
I dont have a lot of concern one way or another. I dont own many shares yet so either direction It goes is fine with me.
I would be more interested in discussing a possible split or a fat raise in the dividend in the future.
Apple is sitting on a ton of cash and I know they could use some for M&A but they have to do something with the rest of it.
cheers.
i bought a couple more shares today. bringing my average down a bit more. I will see what happens after earnings. If they beat great. if they dont then I have fresh powder to put to work for the longer term. the holiday season is going rock.
just got some today. just a couple hundred shares as a taste. i like the ever increasing dividend.
I think at this pps the stock is way undervalued, but until the rest of the market realizes that I will sit back and collect the fat dividend.
