Puhlease, you dingbats. who cares about the subprime crash? people who have to go subprime dont have the money to buy apple. yet. it's just a bunch of traders moving the markets to make more money. the longterm is still kicking for apple. they are changing the damn landscape. who else is doing that? no one can even compete!

What makes a good company great? No debt, successful new product development, increasing sales and profits, no insider selling, brand awareness, global sales opportunities. This is APPLE. Do you want to miss the day the market turns and the stock price goes up $12.00 or more in hours?

I sold AAPL during the iPhone frenzy, then bought back in – way too high – during the earnings frenzy. Now I'm selling other stocks to buy more. It will bring my cost basis down to something I can live with. In the years since the iPod arrived I've done very well, but this one is always unpredictable. If, as some fellow suggested, it really does go down to 99 cents, I'll probably buy more. I'd rather go down with the ship than miss the boat.

Wish I got in at 6 dollars a share…At that price I could buy 14,166 shares. At the price of 112 I can buy 758……hmmmm….The banks are squeezing out all the margin on the stock price. IT IS GOING TO GO LOWER. At 100 a share I can buy 850. Still quite a ways away from 14,000 that I can buy at 6. I can only imagine how much you are down since the high. 25% is alot….especially out of 100K. But if you have over a million in equity what is 250K right.. I am sure you are a millionaire.

What Steve has done makes perfect sense, the options have to be excersised within the 10 year period, do it, now, split the stock… and you've got a 2fer…

$5.75 is a bargain – but only slightly less than what I paid for my Apple stock. Bought it when Job's first came back to Apple. Stock was then $12.00. After all the splits and all over the years, my purchase price per share is around $6.00.

I'm holding. Not going anywhere….

I hope you are happy with your 117 bargain. It is at 112 last I checked. I will wait for a better bargain because it is going to happen. Still not shorting, but wish I could.
