Per Munster’s analysis of price action around events, aapl should be DOWN tomorrow with a slight recovery on Monday if I remember the report correctly.  NFP chances are will be strong, stronger than expected tomorrow so we may not see the stock go down.  It is trying ever so hard to NOT break 190.  Final trade AH 189.93 which was also AH high.  If this stock shows some strength it may bring new money in before WWDC or just start the short covering sooner than later…

What a day in the markets today though… AMAZING!!!  Oil Up, Equities Up, Dollar Down v Euro, Bond market selling off. 

Go Celtics!  Sorry Laker fans (assuming there are any out there)....

OT I don’t post often here but now, I must say, that this was finally a nice day, this week, for aapl and this topic. That’s the AFB intraday topic I enjoy reading as I have been for the last year and a half…

I personaly have big expectations for aapl in the next few years, I feel very confident, Apple is gonna be very, very, very big, I think, in the not so far future.

I offered my parents (70 and 74 years old, computer illiterates) an AppleTV a few weeks ago, an AppleTV that I filled with 160 gig of music, (scanned vintage) photos and ripped dvds, and they’re breathless, as are all the relatives coming by my parents’ house (they have a 40” Sharp hd display), and there are, my mother has 12 living brothers and sisters. AppleTv is the road to digital entertainment for the computer challenged. Apple has a goldmine in the making there. That plus the possibly new 3G iphone in 70 countries, the macs getting more and more market share, now with a new “take no prisoner” back-to-school promotion (60% of the college laptop market is nothing, just watch them go), 70% or (maybe) more (tomorrow) of the mp3 players market, the no 1 music store in the us, this company is going nowhere but to the top. 300$ by year’s end, 600$ in 2010.

Thanks for sharing .... Agree completely - now time to throw a few back and watch the Celtics probably get their asses handed to them by the more experienced Kobe…. Dam….

what the heck is up with all these damn error messages? :x

A good day for Tony Apple +4 Celtics +1

Over $190 in PM.  (ok..briefly, but, I’m just sayin’) 

I don’t get it…the jobs numbers were better than expected, but the market still reacts badly…more bi-polar market behavior

Thank you, ECB (posted in oil bubble thread). In one day, oil recovers everything it took a week to lose. Payrolls not as bad as expected, but unemployment @ 5.5% from 5.1% will spook some. Rate hikes off the table for the time being.

Same happened to me yesterday.

I do too - which why I’ve been saying Macs will be > 50% of the installed base of consumer computers within 5 yrs.  I believe that iPhones will have the majority of “smartphone” market share as well.

But for the time Being AAPL’s price is at the mercy of the broad market and impatient, restless, momo traders easily spooked -  and willing to play the “buy the rumor or sell the news” game, pushing the stock up or down beyond its current “fair value”

Agreed - yesterdays ECB anouncement and dollar collapse/oil rise/stock market rise was a perfect example of how it’s the dollar devaluation that is really largely responsible for prices of stocks and oil - which despite popular belief, tend to move in tandem *at least up to a point*. 

This mornings NFP - while actually slightly better than consensus - still stinks and Aprils numbers where revised downwards considerably. That along with a stunning increase in the unemployment rate *should* move the markets down today.

It all adds up to a very ugly stagflation scenario….

OK that’s my am Doom and Gloom report - now I’m going back to sleep for a while…

Did Jim Cramer really say THIS:

“The iChat is really, even more than iPod, a story of critical mass. I want to relate the iChat to text messaging, a business that no one thought would ever amount to anything and is now the lifeblood of Verizon’s and AT&T’s businesses. This up-from-nothing business needed others to have phones that you could text with before you could text more and more. Now, imagine that there is only one network, the Apple network, that allows video chat. You are a kid and you are trying to instant-message other people. You realize that “everyone” is iChatting, not texting. You have to get onto the Apple network. That’s where we are now. Can you imagine what would happen if the iPhone got eye-text? You would not only throw away your H-P’s and Dells, you would throw away your Samsungs, Motorolas and Nokias.”

How can he say “take half off the table here” ever again?

Yesterday, I got an error message when I wanted to post a “VERY IMPORTANT” post. So, I hit the “<” button. I hit the submit button again. I got the error message again. So, I hit the “<” button again. I hit the submit button again. I got the error message again. Now I was getting very, very frustrated.  I had the AFB opened on another window. I opened it and to my HORROR, I noticed I had TRIPLE posted. I qwickly deleted the extra posting. I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE to anyone who was disturbed by my triple posting.

I think Rezonate has you beat, I think I saw 5 of the same post last night. One right after the other. Mods what is happening?

it’s like he doesn’t know there are plenty of PC offerings for videoconference, Skype even works on a mac and is crossplatform compatible to windows.

I actually don’t know anyone on iChat, byt have several people on MSN, ICQ, Gtalk > all bound together using AdiumX

Crude Oil @ 134.5 :o
