ARGH, another remote on the non-existing coffee table. :)
Well surely better than a pen and tablet! :)Quote:

I like Daniel and I rather enjoy it, as it makes me think and consider whether I'm acting/speaking on emotion or rational data. But from all the data I could gather, I saw no reason for a stock, that was set to beat earnings estimates on the next earnings call (shortly after options expiration on the 15th), to be trading as low as it was when I made that post - $320 or so? Luck or skill (luck more than skill, as everything happened to line up about the time Daniel made his post), buying the (cheap as dirt) out-of-the-money July $340 calls proved to be a nice move. I only wish options expiration had been today: AAPL is now sitting at all time high of $372/share, instead of the $365 last week.
Shares go up and down over time - 25 years of trading have taught me that much at least. AAPL may go up or AAPL may go down from here. But when the fundamentals are good (or great, in this case) and the technicals are on your side, BUY, BUY, BUY!!! :bounce: And never make a purchase or sale just because you're a fan or a foil of a company. Emotional investing seldom, if ever, works out in your favor. As speculative buys, I'm just waiting for the right time to buy shares or call options in both RIM and News Corp... and I have NO use for either company or their products/services.
I have some friends visiting from my hometown in Colombia and they were amazed at the amount of people on the Apple Store that they tried to get into in Manhattan. It was packed and people were buying, not just checking out and testing. It has to be all the gazillion tourists that this great city attracts and also the value of the dollar - and of course the quality of the product ;)
This all sure helps your stock portfolio Jag.

Your friends from Colombia sure must have bought a BUNCH of iPads! 9.25 million iPads sold in the quarter (consensus estimate was around 7 million, I believe), and that BLEW AWAY analysts' estimates. They also sold about 4 million more iPhones than analysts predicted. In the after-hours session, the stock is trading around $400/share (up about $20 from the 4PM close). 2009 and 2010 were great for trading/investing. This year has been VERY flat overall. But with this, Apple has saved the day.Quote:

Great job, kids!!! :bounce: I hope all my new friends from Colombia got extra good service in the Apple Store - and return many, many times! :)
talking about the use of a pen - I still don't own a pad but a friend recommended this product for whenever I did purchase my iPad.
Does this interest anybody else?
