I dunno about anyone else but I bought mine when it was just over $10 (well, the pre split equivalent).

So I've still got a massive upside on a whole lot of stock.

*shrug*

It's seen much worse drops. Even icahn still thinks the stock is undervalued. In the end It's not a huge part of my total portfolio. I'm happy to let it ride.

I'm confused about why you care.

Despite your feeble protestations You've got a really weird obsession with Apple and their stock. Of course even a blind squirrel can eventually find a nut so I guess your constant predictions of Apple crumbling to dust will eventually come true.

rome much? no, i just like watching the shenanigans. there are plenty (present company; though i won't go all sendu) that like to trumpet the fruit's financial exploits of the last decade. take gains, take lumps, that's all part of the game. when it gets to the cult status, that's when i tend to chime in.

enjoy the (past) splits.

time to innovate again in cupertino. dontcha think? rather than litigate?

I sold them short going into earnings... Already covered.

They are still a great company, though not the same without Steve Jobs.

I got a big mess o' Apple stock.  I plan to hold onto it for a year.

Right now, it's going for $93.74 per share.  I'm betting that it'll be higher than that a year from now.  You wanna bet that it'll go lower?

I tend to look longer term with regards to stock prices.  I don't get excited by a little dip in the stock price on a single day.

Well considering I bought when it was just under $15, blessed with a couple of splits, I have a long way to go before I start boo hooing..  And considering historically from around the time I bought, Apple is up a fair bit while Microsoft is down a fair bit.. And my advisor tried to get me to buy Microsoft..

Apple Services Shut Down in China in Startling About-Face

AAPL Tumbles After Report Of 70-80% Plunge In iPhone Chip Shipments
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-05-1 … -shipments
   "Apple shares are tumbling (as are the entire complex of suppliers) following a report from Nikkei that Taiwan Seminconductor's shipments of iPhone 6s, iPhone 7 chips for June-Dec. period will likely shrink 70%-80% vs year earlier. As one analyst noted, a decline of more than 20-30% is not in consensus estimates. As Bloomberg reports, of particular interest is that this cut to orders is about upcoming iPhone 7, not about the well-publicized iPhone 6 slowdown."

Like I said, I'm holding onto my Apple stock.

But I did sell a Call Option yesterday (100 strike price, expires June 17th).  That's looking like a safe bet today.

it was always my perception that APPLE were innovators...ie, they came up with products that came out of left field nobody even would think to create. I think the problem is now they are just sort of on automatic pilot just coming up with little evolutionarily and update changes to pre existing products rather than innovate. I dont think being just one of the herd is typically their milieu.

And he can probably sell it first thing tomorrow morning and make a quick $100 million or so. It's already up 3% today so far.

Buffett is not a trader.  He'll keep it.

If someone had spent $10,000 on AAPL the day this thread was started and sold them about 5 minutes ago they would have...


*drum roll please*


$14,000 (minus applicable capital gains taxes and fees, of course)


No too shabby.


I guess the writing on the wall said "shit son! buy this! you'll make fat stacks!"
