iDisappointed
Update: the Official name of the iPad 3 is ... "The New iPad" - probably means "Awesome Table Thingy" was taken by another Chinese maker.
AAPL just went red for the day and we note NFLX is also down 2.5% now on the day, as business models proceed to start cannibalizing each other in a world in which consumer cash is actually, gasp, finite. In other news we expect the formal name of the iPad 3 to be revealed as "iECB Collateral" in which case watch as the stock price soars and the company's market cap moves to match the ECB's $4 trillion balance sheet once Europe's taxpayers are forced to bailout not only Greece but the biggest hedge fund hotel of all time. That. Or wait until the Bank of iSrael to lift all offers all the way through the iNBBO. One thing is certain, however: due to its edibility, the iPad3 will surely be sterilized.

Awesome. iHappy.
Consumer cash is not finite so long as the government keeps subsidizing student loans and those loans are fungible.
AAPL shares are the new de facto global reserve currency.
Ergo, if AAPL shares sell off, global liquidity contracts accordingly, which will prompt central bankers to call AAPL and demand that it issue more shares, putting more downward pressure on the price, thus prompting more selling off, more global liquidity contraction, and more calls from central bankers...

trade your Ipad for a Maxi Pad to stop the bleeding in the stock
The guy who shouted "I can't eat an iPad" probably never thought that iPads would actually be used as collateral against the currency he uses to buy his food....
And further down into the rabbit hole!
the Maxi Pad IS the original iPad.. the Spishak iPad.
Bingo. Every day half the people I run into outside of work are doing the same thing "I go back school... get job". Some already have staggering amounts of debt accumulated. Considering that it is simple as sliding the range finder to the max on the loan amoant and then pressing the "Get Money" button for students I am surprised that the bubble hasn't burst already (I wish I was making this up.... Students can literally log into their online account and get up to $15,000 a semester depending on grants available etc.). Far too many long term unemployed are surviving this way and it only gets worse once you consider that they are working on degrees for saturated areas of the job market. Factor in the diploma mills (I realize it has become harder to tell the difference between the mills and the universities) and I foresee the concept of higher education being devalued to a point where only the core specialties will have meaning.

AAPL took the lazy way out, same as with the 4s. Basically the same thing, slightly better hardware inside the box. What the fuck do i need an ipad with QUAD core for??
The same reason I needed a Quad in my game computer plus fiber optic to keep up and stay alive in shooter games.
Half of today's games wont even run in single or dual core.
Ah yes, an $800 gaming console from apple. Gotcha.
See??

And you better have the newest version immediately of course! Or else youre an IDork!
A console with no reasonable gaming inputs. Excellent!
And no games or software to fully use all the new power. So wait a year.
When the iPad came out all you had was the iPhone apps stretched out.
Bet their margins are pinched on the new screens which is why t keep the old one still around as a cash cow.

AAPL is a fairly valued stock at about 14x forward p/e
AMZN is the one you should be shaking your head about - 130 forward p/e and no profits?
Don't be baffled by AAPL, the head scratcher is AMZN.
Yep....and no margins and never any hope for them ever due to the ease of comparative price shopping on the internet....see Quinn's article yesterday????
ps.....who actually knows what that forward p/e is anyway.....one noir swan and the future changes.

more nonsense from ZH, why don't you post a list of all of your apple posts for the last 2 years, in a month i'll remind you of the iDisappointed headline, the iPad has great new features and the iTV is very cool. Apple typically sells off at this time, just watch how iPad 3's they sell.
i've made seven figures on apple stock because it has been the most in your face obvious great company in the world, anyone who doesn't own apple is a fucking idiot that hates money or is too stupid know a great company when they see it.
oh, and it's off 2.5% from it all time highs dipshits
Anybody paying $500 for a share of Apple is retarded, which brings the issue back to you....who ya gonna sell to do ya think?
You made '7 figures' on your Apple stock....oh so youve sold it then? You havent made a damn thing until your sell order is finalized.
Not really. But anyone paying 185 for AMZN stock is unbelievably stupid.
'Not really' what? People holding Apple stock here at $500 think there are unlimited greedy buyers just below? The present holders are IT!
would it make you feel better if they had a 10 for 1 split????? do you know how to evaluate a company??
Hey good luck bud! You think there are unlimited buyers for your $530 stock if and when theres a market crash one day? Then BELIEVE in it! But fact is, you claim to have made all this money holding a stock, you havent made a dime until its sold, and all your paper profits could be gone in a flash....but he keep believing there are tons of buyers below, as RIMM holders believed at $140.
"anyone who doesn't own apple is a fucking idiot that hates money or is too stupid know a great company when they see it."
hey tool, if you dont recognize that AAPL has gone damn near parabolic then YOU are too stupid. AAPL is showing a textbook bump and run reversal pattern, high probability of turning into a double top at 550 then EPIC downturn. if you are too closed minded to see this, spend a small amount of change and buy puts to at least hedge this risk.
or keep listening to cramer you moron
Judging by his post he probably doesn't know what a put is. Even if he did he wouldn't know how to use them.
yes it has went parabolic and I would not be surprised to see a 10% pull back, but do you know why it went parabolic?? it went parabolic because they fucking crushed earnings!! It's trading at 11x this years earnings, name one company that is growing like apple that is trading this low, name one, ANYBODY NAME ONE COMPANY THAT IS GROWING LIKE APPLE THAT IS TRADING THIS CHEAP!!
and i will buy it
I could care less about chart patterns, how many key volume reversals have we had in the past 2 weeks?
Never fall in love with a stock boy. It's just a stock. Once you fall in love with it you will never let is go,no matter how far it falls. A stock is only good for one thing....the trade. That's it.
I saw the same cult behavior in RIMM stock a few years ago. 'No way can it ever go down, name another company growing so fast....blah blah'....yet down she went with many bagholders.
I'm not your boy, bitch, and I am in love with the numbers that apple produces, i'm in love with the amount of cash that they have, i'm in love with the number of units they sell, and i am in love with their cash flow and earnings per share. when this trend changes i will no longer be in love with apple, until then, yes, i like apple very much.
I make a shit ton of money investing long term, dividends, and bonds, carefully picking entry points so spare me your fucking pointers
Remember, you were warned, boy.
You're awfully angry and defensive boy. Did you forget your meds today?
No, I'm having fun because I am making a lot of money and trying to find someone to prove me wrong in a well thought out and logical way. And they can't. They just fucking can't, TD can't, Reggie Middleton sure as fuck can't, and none of you can either. If anyone could, I would sell Apple today. Right now.
I may come across as harsh but it gets people all riled up and I like that. That's fun. What I want is someone to make a convincing argument why I am wrong. I want someone to tell me why apple isn't going to make more money tomorrow than it is today. I want someone to tell me why the growth in China alone isn't going to drive this stock price to $700.
I love the junks and the name calling because that doesn't mean shit, what is meaningful is for someone to make a good case why apple is going to sell less devices tomorrow than it is today.
Anyway, I'm out of here, Apple has at least 2 years of continued strong growth, I can't see any further than that. Don't know where the stock price is going today or tomorrow, but a year from now it will easily be above 600. If there was a better place to put my money I would.
Later girls!!
Amateur. It's easy to tell the wannabes.
hey boy!
if i throw you an AAPL would you get it... Boy!
sure you think like a hedge fund boy, a yearly growth for AAPL at 73% would make the stock cheap OFC
so if you use the hedge fund formula which is P/E 14.99 and multiply growth X 2 sure you will find it cheap!!!
Thanks for 3 years of a non-stop QEasy, am sure you know what is the true price of AAPL by now douchebag!
you emotional AAPL loving cock sucking trader!
did you not know they were going to ease dumb ass?? assuming that you did, you know that's going to help stocks right???
what do you invest in you fucking genius?? or is all yours in pvc buried in your back yard (nothing wrong with this BTW, I like phys gold), lay it out there internet tough guy
Lots of big talkers on this board (including me), but I've been bullish on apple since this site has been up and running, that's about 150% ago. That's easily trackable.
So let's ask one real simple, easily trackable question, who has been right so far?? That would be me, not you, but me, ,me, me, me. Touchdown mother fucking dance on your face bitch!!
God, am I being mean? I hope being right isn't being mean, cuz if it is, I am one major fucking asshole.
Sorry girls, I'm way hungover today and feeling very scrappy.
the lowest point of AAPL was somewhere back in Jan 2009 the share was trading at $82 and now the share is at $530 so if we took teh small change formula thats a change of 546%
So i guess the site was up in 2009, and you say you became bullish about 150% ago so that means that's a price of $380 so when was that? that was in October 2011 (and trust me sleazy mother fucker you cant lie about that since the share is parabolic) which really proves the Dr.Engali is right, that you are nyoob emotional trader who believes Dr. Paul Krugman who says to invest in technology "Well, they are used in technological devices, but why not buy apple if you want technology?" see here http://www.zerohedge.com/news/greek-psi-terms-leaked-imply-greek-redefau...
they are going to ease, they will ease when you have nothing left lady boy! trust me the future traders will make sure you dont have the time to sell it, guess how many hedge funds are in your stock? any one on ZH can tell you the count...
What i invest in? I invest in slitting the throats of 7 digits rich sheeple like you, trust me i didnt even read your name.
So who is right now? you are a rare kind of species, an evolved jelly fish with a micro brain.
and yes, am a hard boiled tuff mother fucker like charles manson who just cold cocked you and stomped on your face that is shatterd to pieces and everyone on ZH is lauffing on you by now.
dont ever come back on ZH because you just made yourself a big fucking joke and remember that stocks usually trade on psychology.
GTFO
It's been my experience that boys who brag about making shit tons of money trading stocks usually don't make any money. My guess is you have two shares of Apple maximum.
that we will never be able to prove or disprove here, actually I would prefer that you don't believe me, you should care more about my track record of what i say anyway, actually you shouldn't give a shit what I say either and I'm sure you don't, fuck it, who cares
As I thought, all those thousands of companies out there and nobody could name one. Not one.
Lots of big talkers out there with nothing to back it up, I hear comparisons to RIMM, now that's a terrible comparison. Comparing a one trick pony to apple.
ANYWAY, WELCOME TO FIGHT CLUB BITCHEZ!!! I got lots of junks but nothing to back it up. Asses kicked.
Son, AAPL is the biggest one trick pony in the past two decades. It's life is based ENTIRELY on cheap labor (at today's exchange rates) in China for the manufacture of essentially every product it sells.
lol you must be cramer or steve jobs coming back from the dead.
here's a tip, put some puts on BAC. that piece of shit stock is standing on the edge of a cliff. that will help you recover your coming loss in AAPL
Yea whatever, you probably own 5 shares or something anyway...your type is so old-hat bragging about your million dollar profits on some chat board. Boring.
Wow.
I see you foaming a bit at the mouth there.
The new iTV is identical to its predecessor (which flopped) except they added 1080p support. 1080p was cool 5 years ago. New TVs are 4k and 3D. 1080p!? Jobs is rolling over in his grave.
I was going to say the same thing.
The iRevolution has truly now turned into fundamental iIncremental iCrawl (almost to the point of meaningless).
iOh well!
But it's only cool when Apple sells it, even if 5 years later.
iTV not great, said it was pretty cool, not even a profit center for them, they have much to work on the iTV

"WASHINGTON—The largest solar flare in five years is racing toward Earth, threatening to unleash a torrent of charged particles that could disrupt power grids, GPS and airplane flights.
The sun erupted Tuesday evening, and the effects should start smacking Earth around 7 a.m. EST Thursday, according to forecasters at the federal government's Space Weather Prediction Center. They say the flare is growing as it speeds outward from the sun."
Fuc*in' Mayans were right after all....
Can you believe it, bitchez?
I WANT to believe it.
I just won't until I see it.
The shitty part will be, I'll be dead, so I won't even have the opportunity to believe it.
Damn irony.
I hate to tell you this but the Mayan calendar ended seven months ago. They never accommodated for the leap years.
The obsession some people have with the Mayan calender would be funny if it weren't so irrelevant and sad. The Mayans couldn't predict their own collapse, but they predicted ours? Alex Jones wants his reptilian shape shifting lunacy back.
Apple products give me a woody.
So the market value of Apple is greater than the GDP of Sweden...Quick, everybody shout now, "There is no bubble, there is no bubble, there is no bubble." :)
I can't wait for all the returns and people flocking to the "Genius Bar" complaining that their new iPad is broken because all of their photos and videos look like crap. Not to mention older applications.
2048 x 1536 is way too high of a resolution for a 10" screen. Most 15" laptops still have a 1280 x 768 screen. In fact the new iPad has a resolution that dwarfs every single television available right now. Hmm 60" TV with 1920x1080 vs 10" iPad with 2048 x 1536. Yes the pixel density is great but internet video scaled to the new iPad's resolution will be a block pixelated mess. Not to mention websites which will look terrible. The text will also be microscopic. Of course you can increase the text size but then sentences will end up larger than the photos. Sony had a pretty awesome micro computer a few years ago with a similar resolution screen. It was impressive but painful to look at.
I really wonder about the build quality of the new iPad screen. $500 for a screen of that resolution seems incredibly cheap. Trying to find a standard computer monitor of that resolution will set you back $3500. Actually stepping up to 2560x1500 is a better option only setting you back around $1200. Still screens of the same resolution are at least double the cost of the entire iPad. The iPad screen should actually be more costly than a monitor due to the pixel density being much higher on the 10" iPad screen.
There isn't a single consumer that needed a "retina" display on an iPad. Sure the camera on the thing supports 1080p video, too bad that is far too low for the screen as well. Netflix streaming on the device is also going to look like garbage. 16gb of storage for 1080p video, that will be gone in an instant.
Apple is seriously a corporation marketing products nobody actually needs to people dumb enough to think they need it because Apple says so.
