OT
Where the hell is the numeric keyboard in the Numbers update that dropped yesterday?
If it has really disappeared, I strongly suggest you don't update.

Ho, look at that. Half a buck or so short of $1000/share on the old scale. Which could never happen.
Wheee.

Will happen today, I bet. Price action is relentless.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Congratulations on reaching 142.86, or as we knew it before, 1000/share. No, really! Hats off to all the Longs who have endured the pain of AAPL's turbulent dips and stagnant lows.
Here's hoping that we reach 285.72 someday.
Cheers!!

I'm assuming you all know that Steve Milunovich (UBS) said it can be at $200 by 2019 or sooner today, right? I think that gave it a little gas this morning.

Rats, got stopped out of the last of my front month call options yesterday (and just barely.) At least I still have my common!

Cheers to the longs.
Wish I was still one, on the bright side I followed it up from ~ $0.67/share. Now looking for re-entry point, after letting my fear of protecting my capital get the best of me.

Rick - You did what was prudent for you at this point in your life. Nothing wrong with that. I'm in capital preservation mode myself and sold my Jan18 $120 LEAPs too soon also (in retrospect). BUT ... if we drop tomorrow, I will be glad I did (and so will you I would guess). No one knows what tomorrow will bring. Plan as best you can and get on with life. Best to miss out on a (possible) gain than risk what you need to live on. Just my $0.02

Congrats to the longs! Thank you dear Lord for my blessings. My cost basis is about a split-adjusted $0.60. The only way I could have done better is if I had a dollar for every time some expert told me I should sell AAPL over the years (or if my Apple were in a Roth like LuckyChoices). I've been telling my accountant Apple is a $1000 stock for like 6 or 7 years. For me it is actually a split-adjusted $4000 stock (first purchase was at $16, x 28). F all the haters! We've been vindicated.

If you don't mind me asking what year did you buy. I bought year 2000 after it crashed to under $20 because of bad earnings 1993. So yeah, I rode AAPL down before I rode it up. I was hoping for a 2-bagger. Then they hired Steve back. Even without Steve I knew the loyalty of Mac users would keep Apple alive. Of course I couldn't possibly have imagined that some day Apple would spend 2X more on a new HQ than its entire 1993 market cap.

Of course I couldn't possibly have imagined that some day Apple would spend 2X more on a new HQ than its entire 1993 market cap. I always love a good example of Apple faithful. I was a later investor '98 or '99, AAPL was right below $13/share with a market cap ~= to cash & cash equivalents meaning the company had 0 value. I called Merril Lynch and was ready to buy $35000, ~ 1/2 my account, they told me Apple was failing so I waited a few days and bought only $10000 worth of shares @ ~ $19.xx/share. Later they convinced me to sell 100 shares as AAPL became too high a % of my account, bah ... idiots. I also felt Apple had a faithful following and wouldn't fail or at worst might be bought out by Sony or Sun Microsystems. Still in cash and looking for a re-entry point. Tax repatriation and corporate tax reform is getting closer.

Great close.
My trading account is still in cash. In the next 12 months Trump will give us plenty of corrections.
Should be noted we are only 10 points higher then 2015.
Come June 2018 we will be very impressed with the value of our stock. I think we could be 80 points higher.

Tax repatriation and corporate tax reform is getting closer. I bought between $17 and $20. How do I figure out my cost basis. I never sold,a share, held on, always took a very long term view. If I could have timed the market I would have but knew my limitations with timing. Worked out great anyway.

I think you bought around the same time I did after the stock tanked in the fall of 2000. As best I can tell, my cost basis is around $1.40 on most of my shares. I added more over the years but I'll never forget buying that first bunch. I always love a good example of Apple faithful. I was a later investor '98 or '99, AAPL was right below $13/share with a market cap ~= to cash & cash equivalents meaning the company had 0 value.

Should be noted we are only 10 points higher then 2015. Yes, let's note that we're *only* 10 points higher than the $134.54 price hit on 04/28/15. But let's also note the money AAPL Longs have made with the 8 quarterly dividend payments since that date. Then calculate the number of additional AAPL stock we've been able to accumulate with those dividends. I think it's great to be serious-minded and realistic about our investment in AAPL, but can we please take a full 24 hours here to be happy about today's surge in share price? Come June 2018 we will be very impressed with the value of our stock. Considering the length of the last pullback in share price, I'm impressed right now. I think we could be 80 points higher. If AAPL doesn't have a major pullback before June 2018, will you still be looking for a good re-entry point?

Thanks crispin, I was guessing around $1.25, $1.40 is probably closer. What a deal!! I bought a lot then some more when Jobs was under stock investigation and when they announced SDK for iPhone apps.

We will always touch the 50 or 200 MA after an all time high. Don't trust me check back going to 2004.
Also we have never moved higher then 30% from the 200 MA.
At this point a good entry point would be 139 before earnings. 4 weeks left. Would prefer 135.
I see 155+ after April earnings if we get strong guidance. The 200 should be about 122 by then.
This summer I see a major correction. The 50 MA should be around 135.

Got in around $35 per share ..... kinda late compared to others here but couldn't be happier. AAPL has changed my life in so many ways ... thank you Steve Jobs, Tim Cook and many others at the company who have done a tremendous job.
Good day ..... better days ahead.
Cheers to the longs!
