AAPL at $1000 next year? Time to buy

I'm a little surprised that the WSJ of all publications, endorsed a completely clueless columnist who thinks that the iPad "probably does not use the Windows OS" to come on camera and make ridiculous predictions.

If apple hits 1000 then it would be 3-4 times the size of exxon, which is the largest market capitalized company.

That would also mean the Nasdaq would be comprised by apple by a very large percentage.

On the contrary, Apple is still very much defined as being a growth company and to be honest what is in their way?

Throw a pairs trade on, short rimm, buy apple and hold for 5 years. Apple could be worth 500 bucks sooner than you think. But what the hell do I know.

 

Apple at $1000 hahahah....Not with that shitty new iPhone and the most redundant product on earth "the iPad". Sounds like a feminine product.

Can anyone tell me the advantages to owning an over enlarged iTouch? It's a laptop without a keyboard that lays flat on a desk. So unless you prop it up against something it tends to create one helluva strain on the neck.

I guess it would be good for travel. Other then that the products a flop. Jobs is even too arrogant to realize his company is creating iPhones.

 

I don't own apple stock, but bottom line is their products are about 12 months ahead over everyone else and an affordable price. They market well, and continue to grow.

I remember when I paid 500.00 for an I POD when they first came out, and I was waiting for a company to make a "sizeable hardrive" that I can bring to the gym and listen to music...i was sick of cd players and your standard mp3 player held like 35 songs which was garbage.

My point is they have been ahead of the game.

I also Own a droid and not an iphone but when the iphone came out, that thing was amazing compared to everyone else.

Apple just has that Swagger.

 
MonkeyInHumanSuitThat guy get lost on his way to a homeless shelter? Pretty funny he called out Intel and they just blew away EPS forecasts for Q2.

I'm pretty sure this cat sniffed a few lines and then wandered to his homeless shelter.

WEEEEOWWWWW AAPL $1,000

Dude writers always do this to get people to read their stories... they think that by saying 1000 in the title more people are going to read it and believe it because its so absurd that someone is making this prediction that they must be right... you are more likely to believe someone saying the dow will go to 1,000 (or 36,000) than if someone said it would end the year at 10,000, even though its much more likely to end at 10 K this year... this is because you think that someone making such an outrageous prediction must know something important because otherwise they would not be making such an outrageous prediction

looking for that pick-me-up to power through an all-nighter?
