A few things: 1. Although Karen Finerman sold around $450ish - she said she loved the stock but was so frustrated at what she seemed to infer was some type of manipulation (my word, not hers) that she finally sold it. She still liked the stock but she is a value player and this stock was causing tons of volatility at the time in the portfolio. Hey - I'm sure she isn't happy with her decision because it was very soon after that that the thing took off. 2. podboy: Often leaps are not updated regularly and on a timely basis. If you called a broker and asked for a market quote in that name and series - you would see that price adjusted. I used to get frustrated at that sometimes and would buy 1 call/leap sometimes just to get them to quote it correctly. Remember that a market-maker is not held to a "screen market". The market is whatever he says it is when you get down there. 3.The Milunovich UBS upgrade today had me scratching my head....it was 2 weeks ago that the guy poo-pooed the frigging stock. Do you remember this? bgr.com/2013/11/15/ipad-sales-q1-2014-analysis/4. WHEEEEEE!

Tim Cook deserves a lot more credit than he will ever receive. I, for one, was formerly in that camp. Not any more. Taking over for a legend, and to be able to perform through tough times, is the true measurement of a very strong and committed person.
Kudos to Tim. I am impressed.
I admit to losing some faith, sold 30% of my shares! but damn glad to hold 2,000 of them still. Holding tight to every one of them, even through Q1 ER.

Even the NASDAQ was red today. Talk about fighting the tide. 2013 high. Nice to be the stock people selling to take year-end gains put their money into for a change.

My point was not to knock Karen F, but rather to show that there are AAPL believers out there who are no longer in the stock, and who might get back in now that it's showing strength... which could lead to more strength. Panic buying...

As has been said before the 18 months from Mar'12 to Sep'13 was transition time. Apple 2.0 was amazing, SJ was amazing, but companies often need to iterate or die. The exec restructure, the iOS rebuild, the new product hiatus - all were painful but necessary, now we get to see what Tim envisions upon this new basis.

iPad marketing concerning due to lack of vision?
Uh...iPad as canvas for the mind. It's a bit like canvas marketing. Just make the best damn canvas (er, and operating system) you can and the creators will run wild.
There wasn't any marketing involved for "if you build it, they will come"

Solid after hours gains - what a great day.
Would be interested to see if institutional investors are piling back in over the last week.

Allow the expert to show you: So Mace, I know you have sold some recently ... and had many more shares you were thinking of selling .... are you now bullish ?? ( Based on the pic I'm assuming so but I'd love to hear your EW predictions) Just curious ... Thanks

We have lift off, well deserved "wheeeeeeeee's" and you just know car talk isn't as far away as it once was ....
If you haven't read the Jony Ive biopic give it a try. It's enjoyable and enlightening.
onward. upward.

( Based on the pic I'm assuming so but I'd love to hear your EW predictions) Have been selling every year since 2004 even though I am always long term bullish. Selling is not affected by long-term and short-term view of the direction of AAPL. There is an EW thread in this forum . Believe no correction of larger than 10% would happen till over $675.

I've always considered robotics to be the only huge new tech industry that could eventuate that would dwarf the smartphone market in terms of potential revenue & profit. I was hoping Apple would be leading the charge with a skunkworks project, but it looks like Google is the one leading the charge: www.theverge.com/2013/12/4/5173524/android-founder-andy-rubins-secret-google-project-building-real-robots"When Android founder Andy Rubin stepped away from the mobile operating system he helped create, rumors suggested he would pursue his lifelong love of real robots instead. Now, The New York Times reports that those rumors were true: Google has purchased seven different robot companies for a secretive new robotics initiative — and placed Rubin at its head."
