Wall Street Hopes Apple Doesn't Fall Far from the Tree

Hopefully the suspense will last until the closing bell.

People are buying iphones and not paying their other bills. That's why the stock has held up well. People can't live without their cellphones and internet.

And where does the Trillion dollar war ...designed to boost our number one export...weapons, play into this debt scenario?

If Apple has done so well during the worst of the crisis, it shouldn't weaken now that prospects are slowly getting better... There is still a lot of potential in iPhone sales in China and other big markets.. The iPhone is more than a product, its a phenomenon even bigger as the iPod. It will continue to grow as long as there is no alternative and there is none on the horizon. The rest of the market is too fragmented and Apple holds a huge share of the Smartphone market with just ONE model (in different versions) whereas the competition is putting out new models all the time fracturing their share even more. If Apple can leverage the iPhone success across other platforms, its going to be the next Microsoft -like monoploist..

Buy stocks in companies whose products you believe in and hold them. That's what I told people when Apple was at $16 a share. A company with vision that innovates and cares about what it builds. Take that Balmer and Dell.

At the current price of APPL, I would reduce/hold.

Buying puts for insurance...

BUY APPLE WHEN IT DIPS. BY XMAS, WE WILL BE VERY GLAD

Ryan J is right, these tech companies aren't a guage of the real economy, people would rather have their crackberry and iphones rather than food.

Actually it's ridiculous that the market is basing their outlook of the whole economy on a handful of successful equities because the rest of the US is drowning. Let's get these Congress incumbent replaced to enable a fairer business environment. No Senator should be in office more than 2 terms (12 years) and no Congressmen/women should be in office more than 3 terms (6 years) otherwise they do too much harm to us all. VOTE OUT the INCUMBENTS in 2010.

Apple's iPhone is going to find some serious competition once the open source Android phones start flooding the market. Google vs. Apple Round One coming up!

I've got my apple.....but I'm living in this cardboard box.......Call me...I'm board as hell.......................................................... (www.usdebtclock.org)...131 Trillion dollars of debt divided by 153 million people who actually work and pay taxes...equals....$855,000.00 dollars that each of us owe on the governmnets debt. The Trillion dollar war is a drop in the bucket.

It is fun to watch the little worker drones feverishly scurry around in their little foreign sedans while yapping on an overpriced cell phone. They will feed their kids potato chips for breakfast but must have a cell phone worthy of jet setting CEO. Yeah, that's something to build a recovery on, right, sure, whatever.

Hopw does one comp- hold up the whole market? The market is going to CRASH.It's got to the market can't hold without JOBS.In THIS COUNTRY

Get this guy Popoy out of here / he does not know how to spell and he makes no sense to his comments // he is an absolute idiot.

"Microsoft also officially is launching a new operating system out this week–Windows 7–which is expected to give Apple some clear competition." Kara....you and Soro need to get together as stand up comedians.

Buy apple now, Its going to go up big time. The shorts has been squeeze out. If you notice. ALL THE EARNINGS REPORT HAS BEEN BLOW OUT and the stock price POPS UP. BUYBUYBUY. If it goes up in bad economy how much more if its improving.

Apple is the most intrusive and abusive company in IT sector. They control every move their users make, and the rest - as far as I am concerned - makes no difference. I would not buy a pack of cigarettes from that outfit to avoid being bound to their brand of lighter.

That's one apple you can't eat.We need JOBS The crash is comeing.
