Apple Magic Numbers
Who needs jobs when we have Jobs. Or at least we had Jobs.
LOL love me those puns!
I remember as a kid at his birthday party...after the candles were lighted...
What would 300,000 Foxconn slaves do without AAPL? Jobs created jobs.
Jump from the 1st floor?
Who the fuck cares? Is this something to cheer about? What gain is it for us?
Again, (obligatory):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqsT4xnKZPg
LOL
Wow! What else can you say?
What else can you say? Sell the news. Now back to Jobs death watch...
Told you to sell the news, red after hours already.
Congratulations ... !!! Great call.
Will you sell a little gold now that things are looking so good and buy more shares ??? Many good years ahead ...
This is what I can tell you.
Last year at about this time oil was trading at about $76 and most other commodities are up between 60-140% depending on what you are looking at.
In other words, our quality of life (as a country) has gone down.
Good job team [ass pat]
Um.. shut up Harry?
chinese slave labor manufacturing. undervalued renminbi.
What a surprise given the news on Jobs! LOL.
I posted earlier that they wouldn't have released the Jobs news yesterday if they did not have blow out earnings. Didn't make sense. Well, here are your blow out earnings and the "dip" this morning turned out to be the buying opportunity of the year.
Unless you were able to time that very short dip perfectly (and the little spike midday), people who bought this morning and sold this evening made at most 2 or 3 percent. Not bad, but not 'the buying opportunity of the year'. And even if you did time the dip and spike perfectly...still only 5%. You did sell at the spike, right?
Yeah but you're fully invested and couldn't advantage the dip. Drool.
Wow Harry, hope you sold there $20 higher AH, guidance is pretty damn weak there is no more upside here.
Harry, do you actually read the posts on ZH or do you just comment?
Do you think that it is a bullish sign when more executives are selling their AAPL shares than buying them? - see insider selling to buying ratio over the past months.
Analyzing your posts you're a pathological liar who collects his food stamps every Thursday at 10 AM.
How do you respond to Steve Jobs exchanging his Apple options for shares in 2003, right before one of the greatest runs in American corporate history? At the time, it was very bearish, and very wrong. Had he kept the options, his Apple net worth would be over $13 billion, rather than his measly $3 billion today.
In fact, it has the dubious distinction of being labeled "The Worst Trade of all Time" by WSJ.
Was trading halted? Why? Was it before or after the numbers announcement?
After...apparently once numbers were released everyone at Goldman ejaculated simultaneously and flooded downtown Manhattan with semen....clean-up crew on the way.
Maria puddled a gusher on AAPL blowout news, mop crew to CNBS set stat....
you still watch that channel?
Shame on them for flooding the WTC area!

Just like our government and our Zi0nist masters (U.S.I.), nothing is beneath them...
How do you like the 'Jobs has a cold' shakeout from a couple of days ago now? Sheep fleeced by the bankers for the umpteenth time.
Blew the doors off. Nasdaq 3K this week, maybe tomorrow.
Wow! They are selling assload of I crap. Now if they only sold somthing you really need.

Fork Apple. What's the price of actual apples?
What a surprise! Good time for Jobs to take a break....think they thought of that? Blow out numbers...Don't worry. What a nice little gift.
AAPL 3 for 1 split coming soon.
And the energizer bunny goes on and on and on and........
They timed that Citi miss just perfect. They may even be able to let WFC increase loan loss reserves now.
I just hope we can get some other business news tomorrow....its was all Apple today..nothing but Apple....isn´t there a Muni failure somewhere...or an European country in need of a bailout....
Sell on the spike. It's all about Jobs....wouldn't
touch AAPL without him. Last American
business hero.
There it is. Nice job, Steve. And fuck all
the pretenders in this country who rode
on your back.
Yeah, your whole team is qualified
to carry on. Bullshit.
Looks like the MM's used that to kornhole the Apple fanboys....pretty brutal looking after hours down $20 in minutes?
This was a guy that actually deserved to be
successful. 1 in 300 million. And I ain't
no fanboy of Gates or Buffett.
Hope you beat the odds and recover, Steve. You were the
real deal.
Mish is a guest today on P.Schiff show
I was listening two nights back when Ellen Brown was his guest. Schiff ripped her a new one. The interview should be on his site somewhere - http://schiffradio.com/
AAPL estimate is always a joke.
I wish Steve Jobs all the best and a speedy recovery. He is truly a great man. Get well soon Doctor Jobs
Everyone does. Well, maybe not the guy on the waiting list who Steve jumped ahead of to get that liver.
He's dead so no complaints from him.
There she blows! AAPL up a little as soon as they reopened trading. Falling back right away...
Update: Took less than 5 minutes to fall back below yesterday's close. SELL THE NEWS!
Unreal. Both IBM and AAPL going wild after hours.
small "w"
Yep Robo Apple goin wild after hours, just shed $20.
Really small "w". AAPL is almost unchanged from Friday's close (although up from this mornings low).
Real. Up 1.5% AH is wild?
so just let me make sure i get this...
Apple, the current darling of wall street that continues to turn out IShit that is manufactured abroad at sub-dirt wages and the increasingly not purchased by broke ass american citizens is now somehow, apparently from the incessant coverage, going to lift a bankrupt nation out of its escalating economic collapse by itself????
can we drop this Apple bullshit....please....
For all those that complain about slave labor & unfair profits to "the man" AAPL is the tops. Clever marketing is the only difference between BAC & AAPL.
BAC took advantage of US taxpayer, AAPL Chinese worker
aint no'body complain'n to the fuckin man about anything...
no complaints necessary when u got close to 50 mill on food stamps, 1 n 5 homes n default or forclosure, city's shutting down half their schools, and others layin off their police forces...
who gives a fuck about an I -Whatever the fuck unless it can stop the bullets of broke and pissed off citizens who r starving and looking to shoot ur I-Ass off...
some of u mothers fuckers just dont get it...but u will very soon....
That would be an iShield. Coming soon to an Apple Store near you.
Yeah, but at least the iShit was designed in California. :-P
I smell bear steak, medium rare.
Really? Looking at Apple after hours looks more like bull balls roasting over an open fire.
AAPL is great company with great products and it has a cult like following but the stock has more than doubled in the past 2 years and with the steve jobs news the risk is more to the downside. The 190 or so hedgfunds will use any spike to get out.
I completely agree with that statement . Some will get out and some may buy the dip . mass exodus is a small possibility but still a possibility .
There's no more need for QE2! Hurray!
AAPL and IBM
Happy Happy Joy Joy

What's that smell? A blow-off top?
its looking like a sell the news. probably should. next earnings the economic "recovery" fantasy will have exploded on Bennie boy....not going to get as good as it is now, and jobs may be permanently gone.
AAPL is RED now. Their outlook was $4.80? GTFO. RED now. LOL
We are in full recovery mode!!!- cause people are getting lots of new shiny, plastic, Chinese crap. Always a good sign!! BTFD!!! Life is good! The Bernank is God!!
<Sarcasm off>
Bought the dip this AM @ 331.
BTFD!
Even GOOG is up a little under 3% for the day. Life is good I guess.50
Of course they give weak guidance. How else can they beat next quarter? Duh.
nobody is going to beat next quarter. gas is well over three bucks a gallon. where the peasantry is supposed to get the money to buy all this crap to produce great earnings is a complete mystery.
oh, and let's not forget, not every town is Camden. Most towns are going to try and raise taxes dramatically to maintain their bureacracy .....

U -
i said the same thing above n not so polilte terms and some bitch ass coward junked...not that i care but just another example of how Zero is increasingly being overun with more sheeple...man its sad....
A SORE DICK: a feat that is so tremendous that you simply cant beat it... these earnings are a sore dick....hard to beat it unless you got some pain killas.
Guidance call was poor, after hours bulls took a broom handle right up the keester.
They're nothing without Jobs. They
were nothing when he was absent.
All about Jobs, and they just had their good numbers. Bdee bdee bdeee thats all folks!
Well, from here on in, they can sling
it all they want. It is a rarity to
put together vision and execution
as Jobs did. Buffett, not lately. Gates, nope.
Hey Piggy, could you pull your head out of this guy ass just for a second to get a gulp of fresh air?
Who cares it is all shit made in China. Except they do use a lot of silver to make it.
If Apple ever goes above 400, I'll short it with everything I've got.
It's just surreal.
21% profit margin makes it 5,6 billion profit.
PE 1.184
I never really followed Apple but I see no dividend is given. Is this right?
I-Eye...
Apple a couple years ago was $8? This is just stupid bubble BS.
This guy actually deserved his bubble.
Yup, and ABC News Consumer Confidence comes in at -43, previous -40. It's a recovery.

APPLE IS WORTH MORE THEN BELGIUM!!!!

Where's Reggie???????????
I do like the iPhone. Once you get past all of the cutsey puppydog apps and other useless shit, there is some good stuff, particularly in the music making genre. There's some apps that are really useful music making packages, that aren't toys. I'm pretty excited about a few of them. The music industry is really starting to embrace the platform.
That's not to say that Android couldn't do it, or even better, I'm sure that eventually they will. Right now apple really has it down when it comes to delivering the apps to your phone cheaply and reliably.
As for the coming year, I'm not sure what they've got that would give them a repeat performance. I think you'll either have minor cosmetic iPad or iPhone tweaks, minor software or performance tweaks. If they bring something out that blows the current iPhones out of the water in performance, it would appeal to power users, but there's no way they can get millions of people to make a major upgrade this soon.
I think 2011 will have the competition really nipping their heels. They've blown their wad.
From a marketing standpoint, the Iphone is nearing it's end of it's lifecycle.
Ipad isn't doing what was expected.
Competition IS EVERYWHERE.
THE HIGHER YOU CLIMB....
well, from a selling standpoint, the iPhone is kicking ass and the verizon sells the iPhone next month and the iPad is doing what is expected. They were looking for 7M in sales.
I'm not a believer but hey, don't fight the tape. They sold lots of iThings, great, I'll make a couple of grand off the stock and get out tomorrow. Just another day in QE play land.
Competition will now have to compete with greatly reduced IShit prices, me thinks...
Being first is the gift that keeps on giving.
Phillips, IBM, NCR... they all used to be great innovators.
IBM is the only one that made a recovery after it went to the gutters.
Unemployed people have ten different ways to access the internet. Hooray!
exactly...
now off to the I-Shelter for the night...
iWin, uDie.
From now on when I see someone with one of those "Will Work 4 Food" signs the first thing I'll ask them is if they now, or at any time in the past, have ever owned an "i" anything. If the answer is yes I plan to point and laugh.
So when is Maxine Waters going to demand a windfall profits tax on AAPL?
