In..loving...sane. How many billions of market cap is Apple growing on a daily basis? +$18/share at 932,370,000 shares outstanding is showing their market cap to have increased today alone by $16,782,660,000. This is madness. Edit=AAPL up $20.72/share = $19,318,706,400. So in just a few short hours even, Apple market cap increased $2.5Billion. Edid=Just touched $590. $600 by Friday I bet.

I mean it's been riding the upper bollinger band but today we're going wayy fast. At least like, QCOM has a reasonable recent base that makes me okay with its movement. AAPL pauses like 3 days at a time and thats it. Turkeybone fucked around with this message at 18:15 on Mar 14, 2012 |

What's the goon consensus on the GLD? I have a loss in it right now so I don't know if I should sell. I feel like if the market continues to make gains that gold is going to continue to fall. Should I dump it now at a slight loss or risk it going down even further. It's had bad performance ever since I bought it.

Potentially- They bought components for 50M new iPads, maintaining iPad2s for educational / businesses who want to roll them out, merging macbook air + pro to potentially offer more variety/cheaper options in smaller sizes/better battery life, refreshing Mac Pro with the new Sandy Bridge Xeons, apple TV doing better than expected with components for 5M TVs being negotiated/dealt with, 7 inch iPad, new iPhone. They're also doing quite well in China now which is a huge market with a lot of spending power. They've definitely got the potential to hit $800/share unless they abysmally gently caress something up. Shmoogy fucked around with this message at 22:53 on Mar 14, 2012 |

There is simply nobody else who can match their products right now. Eventually someone will.

MrBigglesworth posted:Yeah, ARR is on my hit list as well, it was oversold today and is recovering a bit, buy my time with them is now on the short clock. Mine stopped out today. Even with the dividend I just broke even. To much risk. More capital just sitting on the side until this Fed / ECB / EU induced bubble bursts. Apple pie anyone? Get it, because its 3/14? Pi day. Yeah okay ... I guess I'll keep my day job. edit: that graph is very deceiving ... its comparing AAPL global versus just the US retail sector. Not that I'm defending AAPL's current valuation. Hell, I only own AAPL through mutual funds. antishock fucked around with this message at 03:43 on Mar 15, 2012 |

APPL is interesting because there are compelling reasons why it actually should trade where it is right now if not higher, but on the other hand it is quite clear that this stock is being used almost single handedly to 'prop up' both the SPY and Nasdaq (with IBM being responsible for the DOW). The other interesting thing is APPL is one of the few stocks out there that actually has capital behind it. It did about $30 billion in dollar volume today which more than accounts for the market cap increase, but still it only traded about 5% of its total market cap. Given the fact the stock dropped $25 in an hour it still remains to be seen how much capital will really back it should all the hedge funds decide to finally take profits. I would say I sure wouldn't want to be in the stock the day it has some sort of surprise negative news though. What is more surprising today is that the intraday close actually happened to be lower than the intraday open for only the third time this year, and the SPY closed red (although marginally) for only I believe the 5th time this year. At this point any sort of real market sell off is going to be deep and fast as they've forgone selling for almost half a year now. You just have to look at treasuries the past few days and realize that market dwarves the size of the equity market to get a glimpse of what I'm talking about.

It touched 600.01, then dove to 584. Could the magic number have triggered lots of sells? Looks like it's recovering now.

I read that retail investors are starting to panic into the market, and they are probably buying 50% APPL so ride the train to 1000.

Buying NOK when it dips below $5 has really been working well for months now. I'm still a big believer that this one could be $7-8 by the end of the year.

Why are people attracted to AMD, what a loser of a company, they have negative quarters much more often then positive ones, put out a poo poo chip, and now are trying to pivot into a new market, after having to buy out of their contract with a spin off that has failed their new singular purpose (making chips). I bought Intel @ 14.70 which was a really good price, I don't think I would even buy Intel at this point.

Is anyone here in Pandora? Or thinking about it? I really love the company and I think they have an incredible opportunity here, but at the same time the financial strength isn't really there and I'm not seeing as much of the innovation that I think would be necessary to do well. I'm torn between making them my 'fun' stock and just forgetting about it.

Too risky for my tastes, what sets them apart from a new entry into the market, what locks people into their product, what prevents another company from entering their market? Actually when I think about those questions the less and less I like the stock.

Since GAME are going under I've decided buy some shares in it. Thing is I have no idea how to actually buy shares in anything and was wondering if I could get some advice on how to do that? I don't expect to earn loads of money (Hell I actually expect to lose the money I invest but whatever this is more for my own curiosity) or get in to the stock market game at this point in my life with so little disposable income. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)
