NFT: Apple back to all time highs

I still have some shares but I must admit I did not expect this. I am much more inclined to sell now than to buy. Unless they keep hitting gold on new products they are just going to keep getting their margins squeezed.
My guess is their product line might be better than we think

I think the I-watch either 1st or 2nd generation may be a real big seller with great margins depends on what the put in it
I am pretty sure it will be better than galaxy gear
apples deal with IBM gives them a lot of potential in the enterprise market
I also think they can make inroads in the medical field
Its gonna all be about the ecosystem the next decade
I don't think it has a ton of upside ST but xmas season is just around the corner If its a blow out its going to 120

So, in summary: if they make good products that people want to buy, their stock will go up.
Along those lines, need some advice:

My iPod broke and my phone is shitty. I noticed that Walmart is selling the iPhone 5s (or is it 5c) for $.97. Should I wait until October to get the iPhone 6 or should I get the iPhone 5 now? What does the iPhone 6 have (or is rumored to have) that the iPhone 5 doesn't?
the 5s

at radio shack i think is free, I think its the 5c that's .97 cents or whatever at walmart.

I would wait if you have the ability to to get the 6
Yeah. My contract doesn't expire until late October anyway

Thanks for the advice, Mook!
you are welcome

although im not sure you needed any advice since your contract doesn't expire until late october you have no choice but to wait
Yes if they make good products  
missbibbasdaddy : 8/22/2014 10:15 pm : link
Actually
A new product line with expanding margins would help

Yes! Bought my first Apple stock a few months ago

after the split. Maybe I'll buy more.
It's an interesting company to own

On one hand it is wildy profitable, a proven innovator, shareholder friendly (now, not so much under Jobs) with a massive buy back and hefty dividend.

On the other, it's still a tech company. So, inherently unpredictable and subject to ever more capable competition...not just Samsung and LG and Google but smaller companies like Xiaomi (although brand loyalty has provided somewhat of a moat).

I've owned it several times over the years and do currently with about a 70 CB (~split adjusted) and, despite my faith in the company, am mildly inclined to sell given the capricious nature of the industry. But I will likely hold, if only for the very nice dividend.
holding on for the
