A close race, decided by just 33 cents...

Mav and I lost by 33 cents, so we need to sharpen our pencils this time.
My most likely case this year is also my worst case: ATH 790, 12/31 640
If the economy overall does well and the iPhone continues its outsized growth, then the sky is the limit for the best case.

750 would be my bottom scraper for post October earnings. I'm more at 820-850, but going higher related to gross margin. By Dec 4, I expect 820-920 as the holiday season is underway. Note: this does not include new products such as Apple television, but it does include improvements to the US economy, Apple gross margin and iPad mini mania.

Not sure if Apple TV is a this year thing. Content over technology...the tech is there IMHO.
Television is quite niche compared to ultraportable and pocketable computing. Halo yes, Apple's long-term future hardly.
Highly doubtful Apple is at any point at a huge content negotiations disadvantage vs. competition. Throw in Eddy Cue and Apple's ease of use DNA, and worst-case, Apple follows the competition into the smart TV space. Huh, same as it did with iPhone and iPad and Mac and iPod.

Following the idea that as soon as you can see a pattern the pattern changes, I'll forecast an ATH of 797 and an end of year price of 780, all taking place in December.

TVs are definitely not going to be as big a opportunity as iPhones/iPads, but is a bigger opportunity than Macs are. More importantly a TV may be needed as a defense mechanism for the iOS ecosystem.

When is the deadline for predictions? I'm really interested in seeing what the group average will be.

Deadline should be pre-ER. We will all adjust after that.

Anyone care to revisit this subject? My WAG is 700 and/or a PE of 14.

Shucks. Too late. Maybe it's better I didn't give a target.
