[quote author=“sstenner”][quote author=“MacGuffin”]Well on a day that the market tanked 300+ points and people tried to sell everything they owned including their Beanie Baby collection and pet chihuahua, their message was resoundingly clear:

“You’ll have to pry my AAPL shares from my cold, dead hands!”

I take solace in knowing that on this dire day of market madness, due solely to our shiny red friend (rainbow? silver?) my portfolio is down only 1242…cents.

So does it suck that the market stole our thunder on what could have should have would have been our big day? Yes, but remember two things: 1) What you dreamed the price would be on this day just three short months ago, and 2) What you fretted the price would plummet to yesterday afternoon, when you heard the words “sixty-five cents.”

Take a deep breath and be thankful. Tomorrow is another day…

Absolutely!  Well said and agreed 1000% 

Ditto!  My IRA porfolio balance actually went up over 1% 

I thought it was higer than 146 too, but when I went to check TDAmeritrade decided to go offline for some stupid reason. When I finally logged in again, it said 146. But I could swear it was at 146.50 or so right before the bell. Perhaps the very last possible bid/ask was 146 and that proved to be the last transaction.

Edit: Google says it was 146.69 but Yahoo says 146. Marketwatch says 145.05!

Perfectly stated.

Run, AAPL ..... RUN!

Guys, wouldn’t you think that an Apple Special Event is coming soon?  I mean, if you’re trying to catch the “back-to-school” action, you can’t really be doing that in September.  Both my kids (one in High School, one in College) start up again around the 20th of August. 

Steve, COME ON!  Let’s get the invites out tomorrow for that August 7 Special Event, at which you’ll show the new computers and new iPods.  LET’S GET ON WITH IT!

Apparently MarketWatch thinks the market is still open, it’s updating the price as if the stock is still trading—and it thinks it’s 3:16 ET

It would be very unusual to have special event in summer or to unveil consumer products during this time of year. In recent years Apple has done only one major product shift during summer holiday period and it was G5 iMac (I think) on MW in Paris on the last day of August (Paris expo in my opinion won’t be used anymore and is at the end of Sept. anyway). They might refresh iMacs, the update is well overdue, but I think they will wait for September and unveil it along new iPods.

Euro cows seem to have sold off some AAPL this morning.. lets see if US bulls can take control again later. I won’t be around that much today.

maybe they do re-runs of the day ?

AAPL up in Frankfurt

AAPL at 12:09:55 up 1,21% in Frankfurt

[quote author=“xumbra”]AAPL up in Frankfurt

AAPL at 12:09:55 up 1,21% in Frankfurt

This is only because of a rising dollar.

106.35 Ђ correspond to $145.10 for the current exchange rate of 1,3645.

144,65…
Any thoughts for today’s action?

European indices started to recover first, later losing the rise and now waiting for the USA as well to see what will happen….
With Tommo not being aroung too much, it might go up…
or down.
