the hype on apple will be over in next 5 years. did you see the latest macbooks from them, who the fuck will want to touch screen above the keyboard? besides, do you know internally in the macbooks pros, it is not repairable. the compnonets are all soldered on. so if you spill drink over your macbook and want to repair it, you can only bring it back to them. see how they try to refuse other techies from repairing their computers shows how narrow sighted they are. i have been working on imacs and from their design, so meticulous and so fragile, delicate. i reckon their engineers are also gay pple.



bring back Steve Jobs from Syria.........

I am going all in on AAPL before market.

There is plenty of positives reasons to buy Apple share.

It is a very profitable company.
It is cash rich & if Trump reduces the corporate taxes all those billions will be returning to the US & this will make APPL shares very, ...very attractive.
The release of the iPhone 8 this year is going to increase sales
Apple's dividend is being increased annually e.g. look at the dividend history 47cts, 52cts, 57 cts,..This year it will be increased again.

If you are going to buy in wait until there is a retracement in the prices.

Cash out with a win. Thank you, AAPL.

Stocks will come down significantly when the Trump's billionaire buddies pull out of the market ...they have made their money and are leaving the bags for the institutional investors and retail investors to carry.

If sure can cash out means sure have people to buy. Who and where are those stupid people ?
If those stupid people think it will go up further means he is taking a risk. In this case why people discourage gambling but says invest shares is wise ?
Finally if buy shares is wise why no one believes that there is a winning strategy on the casino table ?

Some people or most will think ..u siao ah shares won't lose till pant drop like the gambling table. I will tell them who the hell ask u to gamble your pant.you can just win a bit and leave what :confused:
And finally I can make a conclusion from this :

Human beings are brain washed to think that invest shares is wise vs gambling on table.

You can only keep up a lie for so long..only this time, there will be no steve jobs to save apple.

U r right. Steve jobs the soul figure of the apple empire.
Now the soul is gone...ppl not sure where apple is heading. For now share price is currently at his peak.

Ip8 release without steve jobs on the stage, with the proud confident speech...apple is never the same.

It could be properly the best time for other smart phone makers to create, innovate to come up something to overtake iphone.

Steve Jobs might not be around but don't forget that Apple is still a profitable company. Cook & his team are building on Steve Jobs legacy. So far there is no true competition to the Iphone which is not surprising because no other company designs it's own processor & it's own operating system. There is also an eco system around the iPhone that is hard to beat.

So unless Tim Cooks make a big bobo like Nokia did, Apple will dominate the handphone market for a few more years. The biggest competitor to Apple was Samsung & look at where their handphone business is now.

Apple may eventual lose it's dominance but I think there is more upside, I'm looking a Apple as a dividend play & not as a growth stock. The dividends I've been getting from my investment in Apple has actually paid for what I spent in buying Apple shares : )

Here is the reason why some people are optimistic about Apple shares. It may not be growing like it did in the past but it is still a decent company providing a reliable dividend returns.

Apple's best days are behind it, but I still like the stock, Bill Miller says

Bill Miller: Apple's cheap but this 'arctic apple' stock is the one to watch
14 Hours Ago | 03:20

In terms of growth and the ability to invent whole new categories, Apple may have already seen its best days, value investor Bill Miller told CNBC on Thursday.

"It doesn't mean it's not a good stock. It's a very cheap stock. It's one of our big holdings," the founder of Baltimore-based LMM said on "Squawk Box."

With a market value of more $675 billion, "there's not a lot left in there in the sense of moving the needle," Miller said, although he did not rule out Apple eventually exceeding a $1 trillion market cap.

In the near term, he argued, "Apple is a consumer brand with freedom to price. And that's worth a whole lot more than 12 times earnings, and of course $250 billion in cash sitting there as well."

Miller was referring to Apple's enormous cash hoard, which the tech giant revealed on Tuesday, grew to nearly $246.1 billion in the latest quarter.

But a huge strategic acquisition would not be a smart use of that money, he said. "It's hard to see an M&A [deal] that would be big enough to actually create a lot of shareholder value ... just given the market cap of the company."

Earlier this week, Apple reported earnings and revenue that easily beat expectations on the stronger-than-expected demand for the iPhone 7.

Miller said Apple has such a stranglehold on the smartphone market that it's hard to see a breakthrough that's going to dislodge the iPhone.

Miller's LMM, a partially owned subsidiary of Legg Mason, has $2 billion in assets under management. He's also portfolio manager of the top-performing Legg Mason Opportunity Trust fund.

with a quarter trillion dollars in cash,the only way apple is doomed is if a asteriod hit earth tomorrow.

besides crack cocaine,gay phones have to be the most profitable invention in the history of mankind,pablo escobar the godfather of cocaine made over 30 billion dollars selling white china,panama red and columbian gold.he made so much money he had to spend $1000 every month on rubber bands to tie that shit up,every year its estimated he had to write off 2 billion dollars off due to weather and rat infestation eating away his cash hordes.

but all that was nothing compared to the drugs steve jobs was peddling,

Apple has spent over $100 billion from Aug 2012 to Sept 2015 on share buy backs. These shares are taken out of the market. http://www.forbes.com/sites/jaysoma...nd-one-for-tim-cook-and-company/#419cae4b699b

They have never stopped & are still doing it, http://appleinsider.com/articles/16...bling-up-stock-priced-near-the-lowest-of-2016
So each time the price of the share is down, Apple goes in & buys Apple shares & retires them.

What this means is that there is a smaller pool of shares out there that Apple has to pay dividends to. So they can keep on increasing the dividends they pay out annually without a problem. Maybe that is why Buffet(Berkshire Hathaway) has Apple shares in his portfolio.

Apple has moved successfully into the music industry and recently into the payment industry. And they are very reticent about what they are doing. Notice they play down market share and the likes. For years their philosophy over OS security has led to people the switch but they never claim it. It the worlds most valuable company for a reason.

I'm a techky guy so can I ask a basic stupid question on shares ? Everybody wins who lose. U say cash out means sure can cash out ? :confused:

Those who are buying into the Trump rally will lose if they don't take their profit now. The billionaire pals of Trump are gradually getting out with their profits.

Why you confused? You buy low and then sell high. You may not buy at the lowest or sell at the highest ...but you still can make a good profit. The greedy ones are those who end up with the bag. If you are not greedy, you will always be on top ...just have patience some times.

Lots of greedy people and stupid people out there. Example ...there are people who still thinks the Trump rally will continue.

If those stupid people think it will go up further means he is taking a risk. In this case why people discourage gambling but says invest shares is wise ? Finally if buy shares is wise why no one believes that there is a winning strategy on the casino table ?

If you make the wrong call and you are not trading on margin, you just need to have patience and you will win. Lots of assumptions ...you are investing in a blue chip and that it pays dividends.
