    LOL what? Apple is a gadget based company. One can only roll so long on momentum and evolution. Pretty soon they will need another revolution kind of product.

    So other than the i flopwatch, what does Apple have in the pipeline that will rock the world? What do you see pushing the stock up past $250? Microsoft was a white elephant for the last 10 years as far as anything causing a serious movement in their stock price.

    Gee, I had no idea that the iWatch was a flop as it has not even been released yet!
    Must be nice to be able to see into the future.
    That being the case, I assume you already rode up the AAPL stock climb of the past few years.
    What should we buy now?

    I bought Apple again today. There is still some upside left. I've been in it for a few years. Yes, I rode it up. I also wished I'd gotten out at $700 instead of riding it way down and earning the same $$$ a second time. I have thoughts of an exit strategy if it hits $175.

    I know it isn't on the market yet, but I tend to think that there is some truth here as to why the iwatch could flop. It won't be for me, I'm sure of that.

    really, we are in the same place (planet) here. I'm learning from some bright stars. It's hard for me. Jay (saint guru) spent lots of time with me in private messages helping me see, but "the stock market" is not easy pickings, like coins have always been for me. And I don't need to be in the BIG coins to make ends meet. image

    Thanks for sharing with me , all of you guys.

    I'm in the stock, what more do you think I should be doing?

    And yes, I still regret not selling it at $700. It was a little painful watching it lose almost half of its value over a year and a half or however long it was.

    the entire sector is being supported by AAPL. If you haven't already done it now is a good time to get out.

    Why I do not buy Apple Products.

    If I did own their stock I would be preparing for more of America to boycott their products.

    Apple up 100% the past year. Blow out earnings due to IPhone and wearables. A couple bucks shy of an all time high

    Still own AAPL and I posted on this old thread back in what, 2012? Its split 7-1 since and still lots of people here who misunderstand tech and investments let alone AAPL intricacies. My TSLA has been great lately outperforming AAPL, the thread here just proves to me how misunderstood it is also. Look at value not prices and do your own DD, prices will always fluctuate in all markets.

    Noone here I'm aware of has been more successful than Buffet, hes provided plenty of reference material for starters. Interesting how BRK owns AAPL too.

    Actually aapl was trading at an all time high immediately after their earnings report in AH trading. Earnings were reported after market close.

    Apple has done well.... As far as gold, much depends on when it was purchased....and what part it plays in economic planning. Cheers, RickO

    Not really. I've seen AAPL go from a split adjusted ~0.42 cents to the current $320+ while palladium has gone from an ideal $150 bottom to $2500+ in a similar timeframe and AAPL pays dividends. Bitcoin has done far better though.

    Apple has eclipsed the price of gold in grand fashion. It’s split so many times. If you would have invested 10k in Apple just 10 years ago it would be worth well over 100k today. I’ll let someone else do the exact math

    Yes, it has. Guess you didn't know about aapl prices before they split 7 for 1 and going over 700. Wouldn't be surprised if they split again soon, maybe more like 3:1 next

    Apple ended up splitting again this year 4:1 and is up like 60% this year, one of the best performing stocks in the sp500. Tesla did a 5:1 and is getting added to the index :smiley:

    ROFL, I'm up over 10x in the last year on my Tesla stock(ATH again today, EVERYONE is green) and my tesla greatly exceeded expectations. People don't agree with you as Tesla highest customer satisfaction 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 per CR:

    https://insideevs.com/features/403607/consumer-reports-tesla-highest-satisfaction-rate/

    Of course they could do better on irrelevant things like panel gaps but the functionality is there plus the car and builds are constantly improving. As a car enthusiast and engineer, I understand the reality. I hope to keep being tortured by Tesla :D

    a lot of stocks are doing pretty good in spite of the actual company they represent and the present economy we exist in.

    The stock market is basically a computer simulation right now.

    I can see apple continuing to go up , I cant see how they have any new products going forward. Even if I was an apple fanboi and had the latest doodad , what are they going to do? A new iphone with a screen that is x+1 inches ? I think my phone barely fits in my pocket now , i am not going to start carrying a purse just so I can carry a bigger phone.

    its a pandemic or something actually which is kind of a cramp on disposable income for a lot of people so even if I resigned myself to carrying a manpurse I can't afford another $1000 phone when this one works just fine.

    They have to run out of idiots eventually right?

    there were lowers than expected iphone sales.

    waning interest? I don't think so. I upgraded my phone when the 5G phones first became available. I think the apple hoard will be upgrading like crazy with the new phones with 5G.

    Also, the new phones come in different sizes so guys don't need a man purse.

    Actually it was a huge gift, sry you missed it. It was textbook, perhaps you should review things like pre-split runups, post-split depression, covered calls, CSPs, etc. Some of us have been through more than one or two aapl splits.

    The best investment anyone can make is in their own education.
