Tell me, how many shares or the % of your portfolio it takes? How scared were you waiting after market? Earnings are so just the roll of the dice. Right now I'm shitting myself man, SHITTING MYSELF!
Man I need a smoke... Retired 8 years ahead of schedule. |

No thread yet? Sheesh, you guys are SLACK!
What do we think? I haven't seen the numbers yet but I expect AAPL to surprise again. |

In one account, would you believe 100% AAPL?
I plunked some windfall money into it when I was an undergrad, and just let it sit. Considering I bought it at ~7 split-adjusted, I don't think that's too bad... Ought to make a nice house down payment sometime soon. |

I still have seen the press release, but something's out there - AAPL up $7+ in after hours.

- 3.05 million Macintosh® computers
- 10.2 million iPods - 7.4 million iPhones - quarterly profit of $1.67 billion, or $1.82 per diluted share - revenue of $9.87 billion 3 million Macs! Almost $10 billion in revenue! Wow. If it's not red and showing substantial musculature, you're wearing it wrong. |

And to think it feels like just yesterday that breaking the "1 million Mac" wall seemed unfathomable. Good times! Good times.

Holy crap! AAPL is up $12+ in afterhours. Unbelievable. My eyes literally widened when I saw that after hours jump. And I'm a therapist so not much makes my eyes widen any more.

And Half my portfolio was AAPL. Four hundred shares @ $168. I would buy more things I actually own instead of going the way of never buying anything I have an affinity for. :/
The other half is GS @ $90, otherwise I really just daytrade and today I cleaned out my portfolio. My retirement fund is just AAPL and a fuckton of ETFs. I really hate mutual funds man. Anyone on that one with me? Retired 8 years ahead of schedule. |

Awesome. They just keep going up and up. Seems like every quarter, when these things are released and talked about, the kicker is "our most profitable quarter ever". That's been the case now, for, what...a couple of years now?
They're a steamroller, baby. One thing that jumped out at me, reading the article at AppleInsider: Quote:
I'm hoping they'll capitalize on this popularity and momentum and release updated consumer Macs to take advantage of the November/December shopping frenzy, and really move some merchandise! |

I hope he was just talking in general (or not tipping his hand at the updates coming tomorrow).
I wish. |

So anyone here still have AAPL shares circa 1996-97?
What can Apple do to make sure Q1 of 2010 will be the most profitable quarter ever up that date? Will spec bumps be enough to keep momentum rolling? Perhaps the end of AT&T exclusivity? Announcement of the oft-rumored iTablet for a June '10 release? |

Doesn't the adamo ship with SSD standard? I think it's about time the Air start selling with SSD as the baseline.

I've been thinking about that too noleli2 - "what's next for Apple?" If they hit a steady-growth state, *great*! But how many more industry changers can they pull out of their hat?
iPod/iTunes: revamped music. This one's maturing. iPhone: (kinda) revamped phones. This one isn't done, but isn't guaranteed. What's next? Publishing? Technologically, I think LightPath is exciting, and the timing of it is interesting (Q1 2010). Between that and DisplayPort, they're really condensing peripheral IO to something tiny and power-frugal, while still providing performance that current desktops are hard pressed to match. (Toss in Peer to Peer WiFi (again, 2010) and suddenly it's a very different ballgame between the three techs.) The question is if they're too far ahead. Again. |

I'd love it beyond words.
This financial news is making all the news networks and website's "main stories" sections! That's publicity and attention you can't put a price on. Everyone's buzzing about these numbers, it seems. |

I wish Apple could/would do something with its $34B in cash. No companies to invest in or buy? Pay dividends to shareholders...something. What company needs that big of a nest egg, especially when it's not bleeding during a recession?
Well analyst predictions were higher than Apple's actual performance, so buzz is an appropriate term I guess... It's definitely not major-epic news... |

The "when to get out" question is one that I've often had.
We recently bought a house. We asked ourselves if we should put more down or sell some AAPL? Do we move some of the AAPL into a fund or keep it in the stock? Right now we're buying a car. Does it make sense to finance it or pay for it outright by selling some AAPL? Everytime the answer has been to hold on to the AAPL. and so far we've been right. |

Those numbers are impressing someone in these news organizations (or, as I've long suspected, they simply watch each other and take their cues from their competitors). "Hey, CNN has them in the number two spot on the homepage...we better put something up there about it too!" BTW, I just cruised/scanned through a few sites that an average joe might go to for financial news and info and every one mentions how Apple outperformed or "blew past" analyst predictions. Maybe that's why it's getting such play? Nowhere did I see "analyst predictions were higher than Apple's actual performance". CNN: "Apple Inc. said Monday that record sales of Macintosh computers and iPhones lifted its quarterly profit and revenue, which trounced Wall Street's forecasts." CBS MarketWatch: "Apple Computer handily beats Wall Street estimates for fourth-quarter earnings, helped by sales of its iPhone and Macbooks." CNBC: "Apple shares leaped to an all-time high in late trading Monday as the company reported a profit and sales that rose from last year and blew past analysts' forecasts." Or were we talking more about Mac-centric sites/analysts and their predictions (vs. mainstream/Wall Street/business types?). I'm not sure what you're referring to. It looks like Apple did better than everyone was saying...not worse. Last edited by psmith2.0 : 2009-10-19 at 20:04. |
