He's a business genius, that's for sure. But Apple doesn't need the whole rollercoaster thing. Huge successes that then turn in failures. It happened with their computers, it's happening right now with the Ipods and the Apple Store, it is starting with the Iphone... the same schema just repeats itself over and over and Jobs doesn't learn. Iphone had the potential to turn into a Microsoft-like monopoly and it won't. And Jobs has a huge part of responsability in this relative failure. Ninna
iPhone a monopoly? Right. 5Y: AAPL +350%. MSFT +10%: http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=...=on;ohlcvalues=0;logscale=on;source=undefined
Well, do you think maybe they are rushing these products to market in order to annihilate their competition, causing occasional execution problems? People love their products for some reason and if it is slowing them down, I don't see it, yet. I am still kicking myself for not buying at 100.
CNBC will be hyping AAPL in pre-market, which will create some definite whipsaw action at the open. Also, AAPL has earnings after the bell on Tuesday, which will add even more volatility. Either way, get ready for a wild trading day on AAPL...
The above is your response to the poster who said, "what I would give for 30 seconds in the ring with you." Breaking news: Boxers enter the ring voluntarily to try to beat the snot out of each other. The poster was speculating what it would be like to compete with you in a legal sporting event. So wipe those tears away and don't be afraid.
Job's vision is "my way or the highway". He never allowed his products to inter-connect with the "lesser beings" such as IBM, Microsoft and Google products. Apple always manages to come with the killer product that is a phenomenal success for a few years. And then the other brands collaborate and catch up and gradually take over the market shares. It happens EVERY time. And it is happening right now. It is great enternainment in my eyes. Ninna
When he dies I will short, and then I'll buy the dip LOLLLL. Finally, a decent entry into AAPL shares.
Such bad taste. Only good thing about your post is given your track record making forecasts he might live. ( you shorted AAPL at $295 already, how did that work out ? I suspect you'll lose money on this short as well, for sure if you do so before 10 am you'll be in the red by Wednesday noon )
